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 …
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 …
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 – …
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 …

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, …
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 …
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, …
