It is quite a mild winters day today. Although the morning was crisp, the afternoon was very sunny indeed. We spent the weekend clearing out the loft and boxing up our belongings for the long awaited move to Vicars! We still have a huge amount to get packed but at least we have made a start.
On Sunday morning we ducked down to the local dump in Lewisham to get rid of some of the bigger items found in the loft. I also managed to recycle my mounting collection of assorted batteries :-).
Jake is teething once more so he was a bit of a grot bot this weekend. He has taken to making a very angry face when he get’s frustrated or simply feels like it. He clenches his fists and sets his jaw before bellowing his familiar cry. The first time I saw him do it I was in fits of laughter. It is really the most strange thing to behold. Poor Jakey, I do hope his top teeth are through soon as they seem to be giving him gyp. Jake is now feeding from a sippy bottle which he has taken to quite well, although he is not taking the full 150/200ml that he used to.
Yesterday afternoon we had drinks with the other parents which was a nice respite to the packing chores. In fact it was good to get out of the flat seeing as it is now resembling a warehouse what with all the boxes stacked up everywhere. I met Amy’s friends from her post-natal group and of course their lovely bairns. The wine also went down very well! While walking back the fireworks display were in full swing and the sky was alight with various rockets and the such-like. Jake didn’t seem to mind the loud bangs and slept through the lot.
