Daddy is a new thing: up until a couple of days ago it was dada, but now Arthur has started saying ‘dadeee’ – super pleased with himself, and even cuter than usual. Whichever way he puts it, watching the relationship grow between my man and our baby has to be one of the best things about being a mum. I especially love it when Leigh wears Arthur in the sling. I’m not sure why – I think perhaps because I know that for me there’s nothing that comes closer to the feeling I had when I carried our baby inside me for nine months. It’s pretty incredible to know Leigh gets to share that.
Whilst we’re on the subject of dads, I just have to share this picture I found of me and my dad on a ferry to the Scillies many many years ago. Vintage babywearing at its best!

One thing that amazes me to is how my husband loves my son so much and vice versa. I grew up in a family with an alcoholic Dad so we never had moments like this, like yours. #alphabetphoto
I can’t imagine how tough that must have been. So glad to hear your husband and your son have such a strong bond 🙂
A really lovely moment to catch. It is a special feeling when you see father and child bonding. Arthur looks so safe and loved in his sling. Perfect. How wonderful to have a photo of you being carried by your father too. #AlphabetPhoto
I was very excited to find that photo! Babywearing’s become a big thing in our little family and it was nice to see we’re carrying on a tradition 🙂
Aww. What a lovely photo. I’m a big fan of dads! 🙂 #alphabetphoto.
They are pretty awesome 🙂
That’s such a cute photo of you and your Dad #alphabetphoto
I love it 🙂
Aww D is for daddy! Can’t believe I didn’t think of that one! (I won’t tell daddy!) I love the old photo and indeed the vintage clothes. Lovely. X
I only thought of it at the last minute! It was the picture of me and my dad that swung it 🙂 x
Lovely post Sophie. Watching hubby become a great dad has been e truly marvellous thing for me, so I know just how you feel. Clever Arthur for mastering Daddy too :o) fab photo of you, just goes to show that attachment parenting has been around a long time! xx
Thank you 🙂 I was thrilled to find the pic of me and my dad – it reminded me how important it is to capture all of these special moments for Arthur too! xx
I absolutely love both those photos. It’s such a special relationship and I love watching my husband with our kids, he is an amazing father x #alphabetphoto
