Me & the babies spent last week at Joe's mums chalet in Leysdown-on-Sea Kent, it was lovely to get away for a while and enjoy the gorgeous weather. Most of Joe's family have chalets there so they all got to meet Harper for the first time.
Teddy had such a good time as there are plenty of children for him to play with, he seems to have grown up a lot during the week and has even stopped having bottles completely and only has his dummy for naps. I've noticed how much he's talking now and has started to put 2 and 3 words together.
We did end up at the local hospital though as Harper came out in a rash, at first we put it down to the heat but it ended up looking more like blisters so got it checked straight away. They have put it down to an allergy (I changed her formula to Aptamil the day before) and since changing back to Cow & Gate the rash has completely gone.
We also got to see Harpers first smiles, we were told that she would be behind development wise but here she is with her brother, smiling away at 5 weeks old :).
There was so much to do there that I didn't get much of a rest, but I'm glad as Teddy really enjoyed it. He got to play on the beach, enjoy his first 'mr whippy' ice cream, and soak the field with Nanny's hose.
Harpers first trip to the beach
There's only a shower in the chalet so Ted had to have his baths in the sink, and Harper in a blow up bath - which is a lifesaver and only £5 from Mothercare!
I'd really recommend Leysdown as a place to visit, the beach is lovely, there's plenty of amusements and cafés in the town and family clubs with childrens entertainment. I'm hoping that we can spend some more time down there towards the end of the summer.
My happy babies
