Today is my son’s first birthday. I can’t quite believe it’s already been a year. I can’t quite believe it’s only been a year. He’s now a little boy instead of a little baby and I could not be prouder of how far he’s come i. n the last few weeks, let alone the last… [Read More]
My Sunday Photo – 22nd July
We took Snappy to soft play for the first time on Friday. Ar Y Bel is just south of where I work and have a cheap Friday offer after six. So I met my wife and bub on the bus and we went to see how he did. We had some beans on toast before… [Read More]
My Sunday Photo – 9th July
This week has been pretty intense for various reasons, but we’re finally settling into the new house if nothing else. Snappy loves having more room to crawl around in. He likes to be chased now, and he likes chasing after the cats. This was after Reb Brown ran off – apparently he did not want… [Read More]
My Sunday Photo: 2nd July
We moved house this week and had to make a Snappy containment area so he wouldn’t hurt himself or get into the boxes and wreck all our stuff. And all his stuff. It’s taken us six weeks to move in total really but the most of it was done over the four days I had… [Read More]
Poem: Affirmation
I touch smooth skin and soft hair – whatever I can reach – in reassurance of his existence. As if my vision is a lie my other senses in denial. My boy, smiles, and so do I, following the rise and dip of each vertebra holding him together. As he holds me together, piece by… [Read More]
Adventures In Mush: Baby Enforced Weaning.
Snappy has weaned himself off breast milk. We helped, but to be honest he did most of the work himself. He’s been eating pretty well since we started him on mush just before he hit six months. He went from one meal to two meals a day pretty quickly. My wife gives him fruit and… [Read More]
My Sunday Photo – 28th May
Shock of all shocks I actually went to see a GP this week for my migraines. I also went with bethend to her appointment (and she came to mine). While they were waiting for me to finish work (partly the reason I never go to see the GP) they went to the cafe and Snappy… [Read More]
Five Differences Between Cats and Babies
As you may recall, I had some problems with having too many cats when Snappy came along. I still have too many cats and the similarities between babies and cats continue – I have discovered recently that both babies and cats will eat anything off the floor. Crumbs, cat biscuits, fluff… There are of course… [Read More]
My Sunday Photo – 21st May
I’ve worked a forty-eight hour week at the pharmacy because we’re so short staff. By the time Saturday evening rolled around I was exhausted and aching and getting this weird headache at the base of my skull. I still have a weird headache. Coming home to this little croc make is all worth it though…. [Read More]
Anxious Mum and Clingy Son
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]
