Review: Miffy rattle car

Posted on October 26, 2010August 29, 2018 by jenny

The lovely people at Miffy sent Edward a toy from the new selection of classic Miffy toys which have never been available in the UK before. The Miffy rattle car is suitable from 6 months and features a chunky handle – prefect for little chubby fingers learning to grip. Each of the four wheels contains…

We were lucky enough to be invited to London Zoo to help celebrate the launch of the new Royal Mail Winnie the Pooh stamps. This was the first time that we had taken Edward to London Zoo so we were all very excited. Winnie the Pooh stamps at London Zoo We saw penguins, an owl,…

The Baby Show

Posted on October 23, 2010May 11, 2017 by jenny

Today we visited The Baby Show. We spent 4 hours visiting stands, playing with the latest baby toys, tasting the latest snacks and collecting goody bags like there was no tomorrow! I won tickets, and an essentials b.box which I collected today, from Koo-di. The Show was an experience like I’ve never experienced before and…

A tourist in our own city

Posted on October 22, 2010September 4, 2024 by jenny

Today we met my cousin and her family as she hadn’t yet met Edward. We had lunch in the cafe at the Mamas and Papas on Regent Street. The food is delicious, the location is perfect and it’s never too busy as not many people seem to know about it. Edward got lots of kisses…

Bringing back bath time

Posted on October 20, 2010May 2, 2012 by jenny

I love this picture that I took tonight. We decided it was about time we re-introduced a regular bath time to our night-time routine. Over the last few weeks Edwards’ eczema has improved so much it’s difficult to believe I used to cry over his poor cracked skin. For a while we decided not to…

What do you buy the boy who has everything?

Posted on October 19, 2010April 5, 2014 by jenny

I’m wondering what do you buy the boy who has everything for his first Christmas? My son has everything he needs and at 7 months he’s too young to hand me a wish list of toys he would like. My husband has been restoring some beautiful vintage wooden toys for him and I’m making him…

To my seven month old

Posted on October 18, 2010April 22, 2017 by jenny

I can’t believe Edward is 7 months old today. It’s the biggest cliche but time is really flying. I can truthfully say I’ve loved every minute so far! Edward is 7 months old. He weighs 9860g He’s 68 cm tall His favourite activities include bouncing in his Lindam bouncer, swimming, music classes, playing with loud…

Cute baby pic

Posted on October 17, 2010 by jenny

Someone found my blog by searching for ‘cute baby pic’. I’m pleased because I have plenty of cute baby pics and I think my little boy is very photogenic! So I was very happy that Edward won a ‘cool baby’ competition at Oh Baby London using this photograph. The prize was £100 to spend online…
