Snappy is eighteen months old this week. He’s definitely not a baby anymore but a little boy whose personality becomes more and more defined every day much to my delight and occasional despair. He changed so much from age 0 to twelve months but not the changes are less drastic …
Snappy is now fifteen months old – which isn’t one of those ‘numbers’ – like six months, eighteen months, eighteen years. According to the Government, fifteen months is the time for a full checkup. Our health visitor has been working in this area for almost twenty years – she was …
I have a wet sock. I have a wet sock and my son probably has a stomach ache. All because of a plastic coco pops mug. I wouldn’t mind so much but I had just put those socks on and now I have to put a fifth sock on. Bath …
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 …

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 …
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 …
