I know that it's all 'part of the process/part of them growing up' etc, but when I realised for the first time yesterday that Abi no longer had 'that baby smell' I have to admit I was pretty sad. It was something I suppose I thought would last longer, and if I had known it was on it's way out then...oh...what? I would of smelt her more often? My mum pals will bear witness to the fact that this is probably an impossibility, as they teased me I constantly had my nose in her hair!? Anyway...It's gone, and to a certain extent, although she still smells lovely, it's not THE 'baby smell' and I am in mourning. This along with stopping breast feeding on holiday (her decision) means that she just no longer feels like a baby! She's a little person, with an affected laugh and unique smile (something akin to Roland rat and a gurning champion).
Well we survived our first family holiday abroad in Spain. Although we had a couple of days with no running water (literally flushing the loo with water siphoned from the pool) and there was no bath, so we have a hilarious pic of Abi being washed, rubber ducky an all, in a bidet!
Before you judge... this was, with no bath, better than the sink or the floor of the 'rustic' shower! You'll be pleased to know that we got moved to a property with both running water and a bath, and also got £200 compensation! Why is it though that as soon as you go on holiday you get ill, poor little thing, she was projectile vomiting and in such a bad way for the first few days, it was such a relief when we got our fun little Abi back again.
