Thomas told me this morning “That ipod is not working!” which was quite true.
Also, Ollie in his usual morning wake-up chatter made a noise that sounded a bit like “YAY!” so Thomas started shouting “Ollie said ‘YAY!’ Look, mummy, Ollie said ‘YAY!’” which was almost enough to make me open my eyes [...]
Well this week, we seem to have been busy ALL the time!
Toddler group on Monday, then into town on Tuesday morning, back in time for the health visitor in the afternoon. Then another toddler group on Wednesday (new one) then visiting a nursery on Thursday, with our Homestart volunteer coming in the afternoon. [...]
Just wanted to record some events in the last couple of days.
Yesterday, Thomas slept in his bed for the first time. I think the fact that he’s free to roam around the room hasn’t occurred to him yet, so we haven’t had any trouble so far. He also requested to sit on the [...]
So, just for record-keeping purposes, Ollie had more baby rice on the 2nd day, then some apple puree mixed with milk and baby rice on the 3rd day, and today he had carrot puree with baby rice. I gave him quite a lot today, and he wolfed it all down. He only managed [...]
OK, so yesterday, we gave Ollie his first baby rice. He gulped it down, and tried to eat the bowl and spoon too. Then he gulped down 8oz of formula straigh after. He had the same again today, slightly thicker consistency. We’ve been feeding him up lately, so I’ve been putting [...]
Well, we need a more positive post after yesterday’s miseryness.
Today has been better. Both boys have cheered me up this morning. Ollie woke up suddenly able to reach out and grab things, rather thanjust grabbing things thrust into his hand. He even reached out to grab his brother who was standing nearby [...]
So, the thing about being the parents of two young babies, is that you expect nights-from-hell now-and-again. But it strikes me that if you are having nights-from-hell EVERY night, then you are logically, and actually, IN HELL!
Anyway, I’m hoping the doctor will make it all go away this afternoon, otherwise I know exactly which [...]
This post is mainly about photos, but a couple of updates too.
Firstly, I’ve been ill with an upset stomach which is only to be expected as my sleep is SERIOUSLY compromised at the moment. Ollie is waking up all the time at night, so I’m taking him to the doctors on Wednesday. I [...]
Oliver went to his first Tiny Talk today – at 5months-minus-one-week old. Thomas did his usual silent sullen-ness, only he also had to cling on to my leg, as I now hold Ollie on my lap, so he can’t scramble up there. I’m hoping he’ll warm up a bit quicker each time, [...]
Thomas was waving and shouting hello at a helicopter yesterday, and it was only later I realised he was saying “Hellocopter”. Awww, how cute.
