Summer is on its way

It was nice and warm today so we took a stroll down to the beach. I can feel that summer is on its way which is so nice.
We went to the natural history museum as Mia wanted to see Iggy the Iguanondon Dinosaur. We bought her a mini version which she really enjoyed playing with for the rest of the day.

We then went into the arcades and Mia checked out some of the rides




Then we had a stroll along the seafront and in the park. I'm looking forward to doing lots more of this in the summer, but with a baby and having to stop all the time to feed etc!

Playing in the rain

We've been out to the park a couple of times in the rain recently. The first time was with Erica, Mia and Erica had a fabulous time playing in the puddles.



The second time daddy came with us. Mia enjoyed throwing sticks into puddles, but kept asking where Erica was!

Stylish girl!

I haven't taken all that many photos of Mia recently (naughty mummy) but here are some photos of her showing off a few of her different styles!

A group shot

Here's a sweet photo of Mia and her friends Ewan and Olivia.

cooking

We go to a cooking group on a friday morning. It's lots of fun and we've made some tasty things so far including pizza, shortbread, spring rolls, mini quiche and fruit crumble. Mia really enjoys it and I like the fact that we're making the mess somewhere other than at home! She seems to enjoy the cooking more than actually eating most of the things that we have made! I keep forgetting to take my camera with me but here are some photos that Sadie has taken.

As you can see I find it hard to let Mia get on with the cooking on her own and have to get involved!
