WHAT MY TODDLER EATS // BREAKFAST EDITION.

Hi lovelies, thought I'd continue the trend of this 'What my toddler eats' series, even though I did it slightly backwards ha ha! It's been pretty hard to find a variety of foods that Emilia will eat that will fill her up and give her energy, so we mainly stick to carby foods with added protein. She feeds herself her breakfast so we give her food that's easy to chew and not to crumbly.

buttered scotch pancakes (usually cut into quarters) with chopped banana and blueberries.

32 WEEK PREGNANCY UPDATE BABY #2

How far along: I'm in my 32nd week of pregnancy

Due date: 9th April 2015

How many days left: 53 days!!!

Maternity clothes: Mainly wearing maternity jeans, maternity leggings, tights with dresses and long stretchy tops!

Stretch marks: The ones on my sides from my previous pregnancy are fading but I have a few new ones on the front of my belly.

Sleep: Sleeping pretty well at the moment, Emilia's sleeping through the night still, so the only time I wake up is due to uncomfortable belly or achy ankles.

Best moment this week: Our day at Chester Zoo as a family!

Movement: Baby girl is constantly moving, kicking and poking her little hands out, very different movements than in my last pregnancy.

WHAT MY TODDLER EATS // LUNCHTIME EDITION.

I've seen a few mummy bloggers do one of these posts so thought I'd join in as I'm always interested to see what other toddlers are eating. Emilia's never really been fussy with her food - she pretty much eats anything but we keep it healthy. Emilia's meals are pretty balanced but one thing I've been struggling with is protein for her, she gets her protein from her dinner mainly (unless she has some peanut butter on toast with one of her meals); a lot of the time we buy meat for her but it just gets wasted. This example is pretty standard for Emilia, it's what she usually has each day with a few alterations here and there, and she'll eat all of it. This may seem like a lot to some people and it may seem like not much to others but she's gaining weight steadily and healthily and she's a very happy little eater!

WHAT'S IN MY TODDLER'S CHANGING BAG? // FEAT. BABYMEL CARA.

This is the Babymel Cara bag, purchased for £58 at Mothercare. This was probably the second or third changing bag that I've bought and I LOVE it - I'm going to try and keep it, even with the second baby as it is very spacious compared to other changing bags. Its dimensions are 31cm x 45cm x 15.5cm, which after doing my research I discovered is bigger than most changing bags that are designed for 2 babies, let alone 1. It has 2 separate compartments for nappies and a zipped section for things like keys and things you'd want to keep safe, the bag also has 2 exterior side pockets and a large front pocket. It comes with a bottle warmer (I personally didn't use it as Emilia was breastfed for 10 months and preferred cold milk after that) and a matching changing mat.

EMILIA'S WINTER WARDROBE.

It's that time again! I'd say this post is a kind of 'toddler-clothing seasonal favourites' and by toddler favourites I of course mean 'mummy favourites' haha. These clothing items are all extremely affordable and cute and can be mixed and matched, as you'll see I have done. Emilia is 13 months but is still fitting snugly in her 9-12 months clothes, I'm thinking they'll probably fit her for a while yet. Anyway, lets get on to the clothing!

NAILS OF THE MONTH.

Yes, you heard it right, nails of the month! Seeing as I don't have the time or patience to paint my nails every week I've found a combo that I've fallen in LOVE with and stuck with it. I've recently discovered Essie nail varnish (super late, I know!) and have decided that I want to collect all of them. Every. Single. One. My current favourites to use together are 'Chinchilly' and 'Sparkle on Top', I'm loving the whole statement nail trend, so I think that 'Sparkle on Top' is the perfect amount of glitter to use for this particular nail look. These nail varnishes are super fast-drying and fabulous colours for this season (every season, in fact!) so grab them whilst you can!
