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]
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]
My Sunday Photo – 30th April
Since he’s figured out that he can stand up in the bath and so so successfully thanks to the bath mat I bought him, Snappy now has the cleanest feet and ankles in the village but little else. He’s a daft monkey though because he will stand up and start to shiver but won’t sit… [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]
