Here’s my latest favourite photo of my little man at 17 weeks. How the time is flying – and my maternity leave 🙁 In the last couple of days Edward has done a 360° on his baby gym much to our surprise. We both kept going into the lounge and shouting to the other “Did…

Weaning Part I
As Edward is now 17 weeks (where’s the time going!?) we decided to start him on some baby rice. He can sit up in his new Stokke highchair, he puts things in his mouth, and watches us eating. We gave him one spoonful of baby rice mixed with 10 spoonfuls of milk. It looked quite…
Sewing with fusible webbing
So last night I tried one of the projects on my to-do list – an embellished tshirt for my little boy. I followed an old pattern from Sew Hip magazine. It was pretty simple consisting of an applique motif decorated with colourful ribbons for the mane and tail. I was excited as this was my…
The Gallery: holidays
As you may be able to tell, I’m a tad obsessed with my growing little family. I suppose we waited a while until we started a family and now I am enjoying every single second of family life. We didn’t have an easy start as my husband was taken ill when Edward was only two…
Simple bib
I seem to have lost my crafting mojo recently. It’s probably due to a lack of ‘me’ time which is natural with a new baby. However, Edward has gone to bed at 7 since we brought him home from hospital and I don’t feel the need to collapse on the sofa after he has gone…
The Gallery: Motherhood
The theme for Week 15 of The Gallery is motherhood. Although this isn’t the best photo of me and Edward it’s one which makes me smile. Before I became a mother I had no idea what it really entailed and I’m no expert yet. Edward is now 3 months old and so far I’ve spent…
Immunisations
I took poor Edward to have his twelve week jabs today. Although we got through the eight week ones with barely a whimper it wasn’t the same today. By the time I got him out of his buggy, removed his shorts and held him gently on my lap he seemed to know exactly what was…
Routines
I’ve realised it’s time to have some sort of routine in our life. For the last three months I’ve completely followed Edward with feeding and sleeping times. Luckily he’s been happy to go to bed at 7 and with a couple of feeds he’ll sleep to 7 the next day. However I want him to…
Growth spurts
Edward slept through the night on Sunday from midnight to six am 🙂 After a bit of googling I discovered that our hungry/sleepy baby may be experiencing another growth spurt. Growth spurts occur at ten days, six weeks, three months, six months and nine months. I learned that cluster feeding, where the baby is feeding…
