Jacobs weaning journey has been a mixed bag of highs and lows and now he is seems to have turned a corner and independence is now the key with him. However with independence comes mess ... a whole heap of food mess. We thankfully have been able to change his highchair recently ...
Milestones Child Development
Jacob At 18 Months
A year and a half! ... How did that happen? It only seems like last month that Jacob was born so how we can have a fully fledge toddler I have no idea. This month Jacob has finally gone back to his night sleeping ways prior to his teeth cutting nightmare last month! He is now ...
Jacob At 17 Months
This month it has been a confusing one. Our once routined life has been turned on its head by a consistent need to wake and get up by Jacob .. Gone are the nights of 7.30pm bedtimes and rising all bright and happy at 6am the following morning. Now I am seeing more of the early ...
The Newest Water Baby
If you have been round here reading for a while you will know Joshua has struggled with water and swimming. It has been an immensely long journey for Joshua to finally become more settled in water and finally starting to enjoy water and swimming and enjoying the process of learning to swim. I ...
The Confident Swimmer
It has been a documented fact that Joshua and swimming have never really gelled in the past. With his lacking after confidence and his inability to have even a drop of water on his face getting his 5 meters badge in his swimming lessons was a massive turning point for him in ...
Another Milestone – The First Haircut
When Joshua was little I never really had to think about getting his haircut as at a few weeks old he lost all his hair and remained pretty much bald until he turned 2. At nearly 3 I was still clinging onto the fact he had some baby curls and little tufts that still gave off the air of ...
Jacob At 16 Months
This month has been a learning month. This month we have been learning to deal with Jacobs temper tantrums. This month Jacob has been learning to get his own way. Independence is a great thing, when you are big enough to handle it, unfortunately Jacob still has lots of growing to do but its ...
Jacob At 15 Months
This monthly update seems to have snook up on me, I really seems to have blinked and missed the last month. Jacob is more and more the toddler and less a baby although I always think that the age between 1-2 is like limbo land really. No longer a baby and not quite a ...
Dear Joshua On You 6th Birthday
Although it seems like you have been in my life forever I am in denial that my littlest boy is so big. These last couple of years you have grown into the most amazingly caring little boy. With your need to make sure everyone else is happy around seemingly built-in. Nothing showed ...
Jacob At 14 Months
Well, thats it, this month has finally yielded a fully fledged walking Jacob. Just a week after this 13 month update Jacob took his steps away from his trucks, trollies and walkers and set of for his life on two feet all on his own. There has honestly been no stopping him, he has ...
Those Precious First Steps
Well, I have to say that this post has been a long time coming. Jacob has tricked us over the last 3 months by being super happy to get onto his feet with the help of his numerous walkers but has steadfastly refused to actually get onto his feet unaided. Someone has either had to hold ...
Jacob At 13 Months
The Change Is Coming This month we have seen a big shift from babyhood into toddlerhood. The tantrum is in full force and let me tell you this boy knows his own mind and his determination knows no bounds! He has developed the mother of all paddy's that often involve feet ...
Is It My Fault My Baby Won’t Sleep?
The next blogger in my guest post series is the incredibly talented Kate; Kate writes a beautiful blog, Counting To Ten where she writes about life with her small people aged 5 and 1 and the days out they take. Her blog is packed with stunning photography and wonderfully created ...
Dear Jacob, On Your First Birthday
Dear Jacob, On your first Birthday I have to say, you turned my world upside down from the moment you arrived ... obviously in a good way. While pregnant with you I was thrilled and terrified at having my third baby, was I too old? Could I cut it with a newborn again? You soon ...
