Piglet is rocketing towards 15 months old. He is healthy, he is happy and he is learning every day. But he is not walking. He is like lightening when he crawls – that kid can move – but he has little to no interest in getting up on his feet to get around. As with
Some people love them, others hate them, but there’s no denying that baby and toddler groups can be a great way to make new friends. Be it an informal group for a cup of tea and a play, baby massage or a sensory class there is something to suit just about anyone. I have a
When Piglet was born the one thing I felt totally indifferent about was weaning. I was never particularly excited about getting him started on “real” food. Quite happily plodding along with milk I just assumed we would start weaning at 6 months. The guidelines these days state you should start weaning at 6 months, and
I’m totally late with this one, as Piglet was 10 months old on Boxing Day. Festivities got in the way of blogging though, and I was enjoying switching off a bit and enjoying the family time. So really, I’m not even sorry! Piglet’s 10th month was a big one for him. He developed in leaps
We started weaning Piglet at 4 months on medical advice, as he wasn’t the big fat baby we expected him to be. That meant that we couldn’t go down the route of baby led weaning, as I had expected to do. Puree’s went down a treat with Piglet, and he was soon scoffing bigger and
Not that long ago I was wonder when would be the best time to stop breastfeeding. I have gone past the original point that I expected to stop and was questioning what I wanted to do going forward. I think it is a topic a lot of mothers worry about, and I definitely aren’t alone
I have been a book worm ever since I was little. I was always the one sitting with my book, and I would read pretty much anything going. It is a trait I really hope to pass on to Piglet. I think books are such an important part of their development, and the ability to
I love a good fireworks display. I really do. It’s great when someone has them at a wedding, or a nice big display on fireworks night. However, when it comes to fireworks at home I’m a complete fun sponge. In recent years I have found home fireworks increasingly irritating. I am sat here at 10pm,
I’m going to level with you. I have a HUGE changing bag for Piglet. Before he was born I always had a large handbag too – I’m just that way inclined! Thankfully, the Pacapod Mirano comes with multiple compartments for keeping all our bits and pieces in. The Changing Pod The changing pod does pretty much what
Up until now I’ve started each of these posts with the typical “where has the time gone…” etc. But actually this last month hasn’t flown by. We’ve had a lot on and been really busy, but we seem to have had time to enjoy it! At 8 months old Piglet has finally sat. It was
