Instead of posting a picture I’m going to re-direct you to my other blog. Just before Edward was due my husband thought it would be fun to give the baby his or her own blog , where we could post photos and let our relatives know what we were up to. Although I thought this…

Plum goodies
This morning we were very excited to receive two big boxes full of beautifully packed Plum baby food! I love filling in questionnaires and apparently we won the prize for telling Plum our opinion of fromage frais!

The Gallery: Playtime
My little one has reached the stage where he loves to play. He spends the whole day laughing and giggling but his face really lights up when you get down to his level and play. We’ve tried not to go too mad buying toys but I didn’t anticipate his favourite pasttime would be lying on…
Vegetable purees
I spent this evening making some vegetable purees for my little boy. Over the last few weeks we’ve been working our way through some tasty foods from Hipp Organic and Plum which have gone down very well. However I really want to make my own purees so I read Annabel Karmel’s Top 100 Baby Purees…
