Snappy is a good couple of months into the clingy phase. I’m not sure how much more I can take of it. Because I’m the wrong mummy. Changes There are few different reasons why Snappy is feeling so clingy. It’s normal at this age for babies to be clingy apparently, which is fine, sometimes this… [Read More]
Nine Months Old
Snappy is nine months old on Sunday. We’ve officially had him for as long as bethend had to carry him. She is definitely still feeling the effects of that but it doesn’t seem to have put her off having another one. Or me. As long as we have it at a hospital next time. Today… [Read More]
Moving Into Our Own Room
We’ve finally moved Snappy into his own room. It’s been a bit of a struggle but then I doubt there are very many parents who find it easy to move their kids out of the basket and into the cot. He’s literally on the other side of the wall and we’re not even using the… [Read More]
Quickly Crawling Along
Snappy has gone from only being interested in walking to crawling around the house and garden at a disturbing speed. I was pretty sure he was just going to skip the entire crawling bit and go straight into walking; I bought him a walker and everything, but he’s figured out crawling and going for it… [Read More]

He will pretty much eat anything he can get his hands on. Which is fine, but he doesn’t want to be fed. He wants… [Read More]
Six Months Old!
Snappy is now six months old. He turned six months on Valentines and I’m still amazed that it’s been that long. Even though it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long at all. He’s so much bigger than he was, but he’s still my little bub. But then, my nephew is 13 and he’s still… [Read More]
Adventures In Mush
We’ve started weaning Snappy. Though weaning doesn’t seem like the right word. Weaning indicates that we are taking something away from him, weaning him off breast milk and onto food but that isn’t what we’re doing. If anything we’re planning to breastfeed for another six months at least – and feed him food. We’re just… [Read More]
Five Similarities Between Cats and Babies
Over the years I have found myself in the peculiar situation of owning cats. I mean, I hate cats. Hated cats. I’m apathetic about cats now I’ve had a few. Have a few. Okay, so I have five cats. I didn’t mean to have four cats. It’s a bit like cat maths. You have one… [Read More]
I Really Don’t Hate Christmas
So I’ve mentioned in passing that I don’t like Christmas much. Well, I’m apathetic about it now, I used to dislike and I used to hate it. Since meeting my wife, it’s gotten better. Every year I feel better about it but I still struggle with the same Christmas anxiety. One of the many anxieties… [Read More]
