This weekend was Jake’s first full weekend away. Both Amy and myself were feeling a little sad and were missing our little boy. He had a lovely time at his Granny’s though. He went to see Santa(who he didn’t like), played with a new chum(who he liked very much) and charged around to his hearts …

Happy Daddy
The title refers to Jake’s latest favourite phrase. It’s very cute. Jake has overcome his long-running cold albeit with the aid of some antibiotics. We found out that he was allergic to Amoxycillin after coming out in Hives all over his face and body :-(. The Doctor gave him a substitute(name I cannot remember) that …
20 Months
I thought I’d mark Jake’s 20th Month milestone. His speech is coming on nicely. The other day Amy and I tried to count all the words we though he knew. We think it is in the region of 200 words that he recognizes and can say. He has recently started to join words together. One …
Potty Poo
Just a quickie to record a momentous event. Tonight I whipped off Jake’s nappy and told him that if he needed to do a poo or wee he just needs to say so and I will bring the potty from the bathroom. A few minutes after Jake said ‘poo!’. I was wondering whether he was …
Spooky Spoon is ‘gaw-ty’
Today Jake woke is a bit of a mood. I went in and he was sitting there with his hair all ruffled. He had balanced Pumba on top of his cot in the corner. I took Pumba down and Jake said ‘Pumba’ and laughed. After my shave we went downstairs. I gave him his milk …

Words
One of his Latest words is ‘night night’. He loves to climb into our bed and tuck himself in under the covers. Other new words : ‘oh no’ – when something has been dropped ‘wow wee’ – when something exciting happens, such as climbing onto his car and then doing no handed. ‘more’ – obvious …
Feast
Jake can be feast or famine either eating for England or eating like a tiny Wren. Now he is in a feast mood. This morning, for instance, he ate a bowl or porridge and THEN wanted more ‘bib on’ so ate Amy’s porridge. In the end he ate an adult-sized portion and still wanted some …
Potty Antics
I thought I should write something about Jake and his development. After all it would be a shame to lose the little details that will eventually drift from our memories. We bought Jake his potty, step-up stool and padded toilet seat lid. We thought it was a good idea because he has started to say …
Slide technique
I was amazed yesterday at the playground in Hilly Fields. Amy said “watch this”. Jake proceeded to haul himself up the slide by gripping onto the sides. At the top he deftly turned himself around and then perfectly slid down in a sitting position. One of the other parents said “he’s good at that”. I …
