Jacob is very quickly approaching his 1st birthday & I'm not sure which will come first his birthday or walking. He has been cruising round the furniture at a rapid rate of knots and I guess we had been putting it off a little since Joshua was already walking at the tender age of 11 ...

Jacobs First Baby Swimming Lesson
Those of you that have been around here for a while will know that we were recently very luck to have been picked to be Konfidence Swimologist Ambassadors for 2017 and with the help of the folks at Konfidence we would be sharing our swimming journey with Jacob with you. We are thrilled to ...
Jacob At 11 Months
I am slightly terrified that in just one months time my littlest fella will be celebrating his very first birthday and I have no idea of just where this last year has gone! Don't get me wrong I have been very excited and so very privileged to spend this last year watching him grow but my ...
Jacob At 10 Months
Honestly as each month whizzes by I can't seem to get to grips with just how much is changing and how quickly he is changing too. Last month he had learnt to crawl and this month his newest party trick is to walk with furniture! I had an inkling early on with Jacob that ...
The Independent Baby – The Final Stretch Of Babyhood
Over the last 6 weeks it would be fair to say that Jacob has come on in leaps and bounds. What would also be fair to say is the 'babyish' Jacob is slowly disappearing and in his place is an independent boy who is thriving on space and the ability to crawl! Days are now packed with ...
Jacob At 9 Months
This month has been packed to the rafters with first and from turning 8 months old to now Jacob is like a different boy and I say boy as it's almost like he is no longer a baby! Three weeks ago we had to finally admit defeat and get out the 12-18 month wardrobe for him as he really was ...
The First 5 Meters
The swimming journey has been one of mixed emotions for Joshua. When he first started to learn to swim he loved it. Then it became hard work and his attention span dwindled and the little people who just joined over took him and we thought there was no bringing him ...
Always Counting Down The Firsts
This last year has been pretty epic in our household by anybody's standard we have decorated a whole house and busied ourselves for our new arrival. We welcomed Jacob into the world and into the family and in the last few months our lives have almost been inundated with firsts from Jacob ...
The Joy Of A Big Brother
Since baby Jacobs arrival it has been very clear that Joshua is totally and utterly in love with his baby brother and over the last 8 months I have had the pleasure of watching that brotherly bond growing. Over the first few months the bond was one-sided however the last few ...
Jacob At 8 Months
Although writing a post every month to mark Jacobs progress is something I will look back on with love, currently it's feeling a little bit like it's mocking me. The time is flying by so fast I can't quite believe he has been rocking our world for 8 whole months. Over ...
Jacob At 7 Months Old
Once again I am taking stock of the last month with Jacob and once again it will come as no surprise that not only am still shocked at how fast the time is going but also at how much he changes in only a few weeks. As anticipated last month, this month Jacob has taken to eating meals with ...
First Teeth And Lots Of Tears
Just for a little while I wish time could slow down, from his first night in cot, rolling over, weaning and sleeping through I genuinely thought things might start slowing down just a fraction. I was wrong! It seems that time is running away from me again and Jacob is ...
Jacob At 6 Months Old
Wow how can Jacob actually be half a year old? This month has been an epic month, not content with sitting up like last month these last few weeks have been all about supported standing. Jacobs all time love has been his new Jumperoo, he is like a child possessed once seated in it and ...
Jacobs First Night In A Cot
It goes without saying that this last month for Jacob has been a massive one in terms of development. He has started weaning, is far more vocal, he is rolling over and to top it off he was sleeping through the night. However after a very chesty cough it seems me being next to him ...
