Living Arrows | Finding My Feet

'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth' Khalil Gibran. 

So here we are. Stood up. Putting one foot in front of the other and getting scarily close to walking independently and i'm not ready. Where did my baby go?

I can't quite believe that my tiny helpless baby has grown so quickly. Everyone tells you how quickly time goes but until you have children of your own you never truly understand the phrase 'time flies'.

Whilst I would like to cling to my snuggly baby as long as I possibly can, I am immensely proud of Iris and the progress she is making. She is so intelligent, so capable and she has just the right amount of cheekiness in her character. She's incredibly sociable and makes friends everywhere she goes. She's an excellent sleeper, she eats whatever we give her and she's slowly getting used to the word 'no!' We've truly been blessed with the most perfect baby and I am hoping and praying with every ounce of my being that this continues into toddler-hood!

(I am aware this image make her look slightly cannibalistic, that's the remnants of strawberry all down her clothing- not sure why she's giving her best war cry!) 

How did your little ones (and you!) cope with the transition to toddler-hood?
