Mummy Snuggles

This week has been National Breastfeeding Week. So to get involved and celebrate a really precious thing Xander and I share we've taken some photographs to mark the occasion. Especially since it is probably unlikely we will still be breastfeeding by the time NBW rolls around again next year.

This is Jon's tattoo for Belle. It is on his chest above his heart. He is ready to get one now for Xander but we're lacking in ideas and inspiration for design and location. Any ideas anyone?  I might get one one day too!
