Mia and Jake
Mia’s cuteness knows no bounds. She has developed a great toddling, gamboling run. She is saying several words, “upsy daisy”, “dalek”, “hello”. She has a very cute milk routine. She takes her milk and bib, walks into the lounge. She then settles herself onto the sofa with her fluffly pillow and drinks her milk. Lo …
Riots
I don’t know what’s going on. In London in particular and elsewhere in the UK there have been on-going riots. These were sparked by the death of a young man in Tottenham. It is evident though that the looting seen yesterday is simply opportunistic and copycat. Last night some shops were looted and cars set …
Jake in hospital
Last Friday, the 9th July to be precise Jake went to Lewisham hospital to have his grommets and adenoids taken out. We arrived at 7.30am. There were already some other parents there with their little ones. It soon became obvious that Jake was the eldest one there. There other children ranged from two to three …
She Walks!
Mia walks just four days shy of her 18 month landmark age and Mia has decided to walk. Amy tells me that this morning she was pointing to her shoes and wanted to put them on. Amy duly obliged and helped her into her new white cruising shoes. She then pulled herself up and hey …
9th Tooth
I notice another peg today in her lower right hand jaw near the back. You kept that quiet Mia. This new tooth hasn’t really bothered her too much. There have been some truly awful smelly pooey nappies but not the short temper to go with it! Lately she has been saying ‘hello’, and ‘down’ and …
Flaming June…not
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. Not your common or garden wet but full-on, fill-your-wellies type of wet. It has been like that pretty much the whole month. Except Sunday!! Yes Sunday …
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
Yesterday I spent an hour and and half in Accident and Emergency with baby M. The reason was simple. I was in the kitchen next to the sink. Baby M had speedily crawled to the ‘forbidden kitchen cupboard door’. Said door did have a safety latch, but said latch had recently been broken and said …
