So yesterday was my 22nd birthday, James asked me a few weeks ago what I would prefer to do, have a family day out or get a babysitter and go and have some US time! Because it’s my first birthday being a mum I chose to spend time with my little family, James organised a day out in Brighton that was honestly amazing and booked the Aquarium ( anyone with small babies? I really recommend the aquarium) Althea absolutely loved it and it was like a sensory over load for her, myself and James also find the big ocean so interesting so it was a win for everyone🙌🏻
Althea was so good the whole way round and loved watching the fishy’s, she even let us sit down and listen to the talk, about sharks and turtles whilst we watched the sharks and turtles have their dinner. Luckily for us it wasn’t very busy at-all so we were able to push the pram without getting in anyone’s way, but if I was to go again I would bring the carrier and have her front facing as we ended up carrying her round the whole way.
We finished the aquarium and went to Brighton pier and played some arcade games whilst Althea snoozed then headed off to the lanes and did some shopping.
We then grabbed some dinner at this amazing steak house called ‘ Chamuyo’ *really recommend* I would of taken a picture of our dinner but by this point I wished I had got my mum to look after Althea because it wasn’t the relaxing birthday meal I wanted🤦🏼♀️but it was delicious! We also skipped dessert as Althea was so overtired nothing was getting her to sleep, however as soon as we got in the car and played Frank Sinatra she was out like a light. Any other babies like Frank Sinatra?🤷🏼♀️🤣
Overall, my birthday was a lot different to how I used to spend it. It was a lovely family day out but also stressful with a overtired teething baby. but I wouldn’t change it for the world, I love my little family and I love spending every second with them.
Anyway even if I did want to spend it with just James I wouldn’t be able to leave Althea with anybody else anyway because she is so mummified at the moment, it just wouldn’t of been fair💔 #mumlife🤦🏼♀️
So thank you James and Althea for a lovely day, let’s see what being 22 brings me! Maybe a engagement ring? Haha who am I kidding 👀😬 *kidding James *
