'Cos you gotta start 'em early - My little beauty - This was just perfection - My whole world - Had so many giggles today with these monkeys - All of the horses - My new home - Fancy flatbreads - Staycation - An epic end to an epic day - Hello Autumn - Fresh blooms to mark Sadies three month birthday
Well who'd of thought I'd be alfresco blogging on the 2nd of October? I think I'd struggle to be more in love with the tenth month of the year if I tried, blogger cliche I know but seriously, sunshine, clear blue skies and more rust coloured leaves than you can shake a stick at? I'm on board. It seems like an age since I put together a chatty catch up post so I thought it was time I got cracking while my beautiful daughter takes a nap.

I've no doubt I say this almost every month but September has easily been one of my favourite months so far. Life with Sadie is an absolute dream especially in the past thirty something days as she's really begun to develop her own little personality - chuckling, babbling and generally being a whole lotta fun. Each day she continues to amaze me and I'm desperate to keep track of all her developments particularly as everyone keeps telling me how quickly babies grow up. Sadies growth has felt even more real in the past week as I became an auntie for the first time to Lydia Rose, my brother and sister in laws baby. If only they could stay small forever...

September was also the month of our first staycation which you can read all about here. We had the best time in The New Forest and now I'm adding a whole host of UK based hot spots to my wish list. I love how you can jump in the car and drive for just a few hours to so many beautiful and unique destinations, England you're alright.

The ninth month of the year also saw me make the most expensive clothing purchase I've ever made, yes I put the deposit down on my wedding dress. After just three appointments and feeling as though I'd never get those elusive feels I'd heard so much about, I tried one dress on and fell in love. I even thought of running to the registry office next door and making things official, well only for a split second! With most of the larger bits of planning in the bag I'm starting to turn my attention to those all important make or break decoration details. Wish me luck?

What have you been up to this September? Are you pleased with Autumns official arrival?
