One Year Later

So much has changed in just one small year.

Arlo has grown so much - crawling and standing, trying desperately to walk. He can say a small collection of words - mumma, dadda, ta, and most annoyingly - cal. He has a mop of blonde hair and bright blue eyes, the spitting image of his daddy. He sleeps through the night (thank the bloody lord!) and loves nothing more than sitting on the floor playing with daddy and freezy.

Harry has opened his own football challenge arena called Kick Town. He worked so incredibly hard on it, and I am so proud of him. It has been a massive success, and he gets much more free time now to spend with Arlo and I.

My business has gone from strength to strength, and rather than rush into growing it this time around, I have taken everything at a stead pace. I am now back in the Sidemen warehouse with my old team working for me, and it is going really well. Still releasing the designs I did whilst pregnant.

Harry and I made a massive and difficult decision, and moved to his little cottage in Guernsey. We did it for several reasons, the main one being so that Arlo was closer to beloved grandparents. We also realised that we needed a break from the busy life in London, taking time for us as a family. We love to take walks along the beach or just sit in the garden of an evening, but we truly do miss all of the lads. We fly to London once a week for work, and we all get together then. It makes you realise how truly special your friends are when there are hundreds of miles between you. Every Saturday our spare bedroom is taken up by at least one of the lads, all desperate to spent time with their beloved Godson.

When Harry and I made the decision to move out of London, Freezy and Lux decided to give up the apartment and go their separate ways. They are still as close as ever, I think it was just time for them to go into the bid wide world alone.

Freezy moved into a smaller apartment in the same block, wanting to stay close to the other YouTubers in the building. Lux moved into another block nearby, wanting to be closer to his new girlfriend. She is lovely and has come to stay at ours in Guernsey a few times, and I am so happy for him.

The sidemen house is also no longer. Vik bought his own apartment, Simon and JJ moved into a massive apartment together, and Josh finally moved in with Freya.

On the subject of Josh and Freya - Arlo is no longer going to be the only mini Sideman. Mini Zerkaa is due in a few weeks, another boy to join the madness. I can't wait for Arlo and Mini Zerkaa to become the best of friends like their parents.

There is nothing to say that we won't move back to London eventually, but for now we need to take time for us. Harry, Arlo and I getting used to family life and taking full advantage of the extra time together.

Especially now that Baby Lewis number two is on the way.
