Happy (belated) birthday to me!

Yes it's true, you do forget your own birthday when you become responsible for a tiny person. Well if you're anything like me then you do. I hadn't planned anything for my birthday, which was on Thursday in case you were wondering. Baby A picked up his pace with crawling over the bank holiday weekend, then he came down with a bit of a cough and a snotty nose, lovely. Also, with the bank holiday not falling on my birthday it just didn't click that it was coming around so quick. Not until I started getting messages from friends asking what my plans were for my birthday. Yikes!

Luckily the hubby had remembered, phew! So here's how my day went: an impromptu trip to Twycross Zoo, followed by a spot of retail therapy to pick up my new bag (post to come later), dinner out with my 2 boys and cake cutting with the family. I do love a spontaneous birthday!

I have been waiting to take Baby A to the zoo for months. I think he's at a good age now (9 months) where he can appreciate the animals. Unfortunately he was fast asleep by the time we got to his favourite, Sophie the giraffe. 

It was nice to have some family time. I'll pencil in my birthday in my diary for next year. Just making sure I don't forget again.
