So here we are once more. A new year has dawned and 2007 is upon us. It was my first day back at work yesterday. The train was eerily quiet. It seems a lot of people have had the very sensible idea of taking the rest of the week off. Christmas was fun but busy …

Party Tomorrow
Yesterday we took a trip to Sainsburg’s to buy our shopping for our Christmas Eve/Housewarming party. It should be a good one, we have around 12 people coming from 12 to 6pm. Ames is making some canapes and mulled wined so it will be very festive in Vicars Hill! Colin, Becky and Carol came to …
9 Months and 4 days
Jake has now passed the nine months milestone. The time seems to have flown by but at the same time it seems an age since he was a tiny newborn baby. He is now a bruiser with big pudgy hands, each with little bracelets. The top right tooth has finally broken through after months of …
Nearly 9 months
The night of the move was bad for Jake. He was crying everytime he was put down in his cot so we took him downstairs for a play until about 8.30pm. By that time he was obviously tired. Again once in his cot he immediately started to cry. There was nothing for it but some …
We have moved
The move went as well as could be expected. My two days off turned into the whole week due to issues with the electrics and the heating in the new house. The removal men arrived at midday on Wednesday, took one look at all the boxes and then did sharp intakes of breath. They then …
Jake says ‘Dada’
Jake has officially said Dada for the first time :-). He has said things that sound like ‘dada’ but this was definitely the real thing! Of course straight after saying it he continued with ‘mama’ but at least it’s a start. We took him over Hilly Fields to the swings on Saturday (our second anniversary). …
Jake Crawls!!
Jake has done it! On Saturday in front of his Grandparent’s and Mum and Dad he managed to crawl :-). I was playing around with my little radio controlled beetle car to see if he would follow it. Sure enough this tactic worked a treat. He started to heave himself forwards by his arms and …
Pack up
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 …
Lost
Okay, I know I’m a late starter. Yesterday we finally finished watching the first series of Lost. (I get annoyed by the Americanisms creeping into the English language. It’s series not season!). As expected there was the unresolved ending to pave the way for the next season, sorry series. So now we have the opened …
Jake is poorly again
Jake has been a little off sorts over the last few days. He has been taking half his normal amount of milk and doing the worst, smelliest poos known to man. He just hasn’t been his usual angelic self. Also, he has also been doing a weird eye thing where he opens and closes his …
