This month, the month of my birthday no less. A month usually associated with long hot afternoons, lounging in the park and the smell of barbecues has been wet.

8th tooth
Last week or it may have been a week before, Mia cut her eighth tooth! The run up to this event was full of the usual grumpiness and midnight wakings. Now that is all in the past and she has a nice shiny torthen peg nestling in her upper jaw. Seeing as I am here …
So cute
Mia has started her road to cuteness. As if she could get any more cute but she has! The other day she uttered her first proper unprompted word. We were celebrating the Wills and Kate wedding and we said cheers and offered our glasses up. Mia responded by picking up her pink sippy cup and …
A&E Dash

Birthday Season
I have not blogged for a month. Well not much has happened to be fair. Mia and Jake have been poorly(again). Jake was off school for two days last week with a bout of diarrhea. He was literally rushing to the toilet every half an hour bless him. He ended up missing Oliver’s dinosaur party …

Last week Mia went to bed with a flaming red cheek and woke up with a lovely new tooth. Her sixth to boot. Well done Mia! This week she has learnt the scary antic of crawling all the way to the top of the stairs. Last Sunday I literally went in to the kitchen for …
