Tonight Jake went down without his dummy for the first time ever! He has been such an angel recently. Ames has introduced a strict routine for Jakers and he has taken to it extremely well. For example, now he has set times for his naps. When the time comes he is put into his cot …

Texas
Well the flight to Texas wasn’t too stressful for the parents (that would be Amy and Jon) and indeed Jake. Our seats had plenty of leg room and a space for a bassinet which mounted on the wall in front of the seats. We have been here a few days and Jakey has just about …
6 months today
Jake is 6 months old today. It’s been a week of events. On Tuesday his first bottom tooth poked through the gum. This explains Jake’s general bad mood during the preceding few days. This is what all that lip sucking was about! On Thursday Jake came down with a cold. Every time he settled he …
Where are your lips?
Amy had some friends and babies over today. Went I got home they were still up in the lounge chatting away. Jakey gave me a massive grin as soon as he saw me. I scooped him up and he gave me a nice nuzzling cuddle into my shoulder. I then took him downstairs and he …
Jake’s first virus
every day Jakey seems to undergo a subtle change. These days he seems more chilled out and is happy to sit propped up either in his Bumbo or on the sofa. While playing with his new Whoozit he will gurgle, sing and occasionally happily practise his vocal chords with loud high-pitched shrieks. He is also, …
Saturday morning
I was sick yesterday so I took the day off work. I still feel a little headachey this morning. Amy is in bed catching up on sleep. Last night Jake woke a couple of times, once for a feed and once for no reason it seemed. We have just spent the morning playing. Jake doesn’t …
More teething…
Jake has been poorly, suffering from teething pain the last few days. Yesterday Amy kept him awake so that he would be tired come bedtime. Alas come 8pm he was still awake and alert, even after his feed. He decided to give him some Calpol because his cheeks were very flushed and he was possiting …
The heatwave passes…
Thankfully it is much cooler this week. Even though I love summery hot weather, last week was hellish. The flat was like an oven and Jakey was feeding a lot more because he was so thirsty. His room hovered around 30 even with a fan going. We had to resort to a couple of night-time …
Jakey Cakes
Jake was wonderful this weekend. He was very smiley and chatty even though his routine was thrown out of kilter. We spent the weekend at Amy’s Mums down on the coast so there was a lot of driving for the poor mite. As well as being waken to be taken out of his seat countless …
Hot, hot hot
Jake is now 4 months old (well he was last Sunday) at any rate. Yesterday was the hottest UK day since 1911. Today looks like being a little cooler but it will still be around 28 degrees according to the BBC weather centre. Last night our flat was unbelievably hot, with no air moving whatsoever. …
