We’ve had more activities start back up this week. Wiggle and Rhyme at the library was back on and so was Baby Gym. Matthew seems to be getting maybe a bit old for Wiggle and Rhyme, even though they say it goes up to 2 years old, it is more focused at babies under one … Read more
Term has started back this week, which means our activites are starting back up. Playgroup was the first to start back up, which was great for Matthew to get out and run about with a bunch of other kids, and for me to chat to some more mums. Matthew is very independent at playgroup now, … Read more
I had an impromptu photoshoot with Matthew a couple of weeks back. While he was having a bath, which we do in the evenings as part of the bed time routine, I took my camera in and snapped a few photos – it’s ok, theres no ‘rude’ parts ;). Matthew loves the bath, loves playing … Read more
Tooth number 5 is well and truly through now. It cut on the 16th Jan, and looking into Matthews mouth (while he was asleep of course, no other way to get in there) I thought, tooth number 6 can’t be far away, it’s sitting right there. Still hasn’t cut, and I’m pretty sure has been … Read more
Is it weird that I’m still writing about Matthew each week rather than each month? Maybe, but I enjoy it, it’s nice to see how much he changes, and yes, while the changes do calm down a bit from the first year of life, I still watch Matthew day to day and am amazed by … Read more
We have a little football player emerging. That is if a football is actually a balloon and the no hands rule is cancelled. Kicking is Matthews latest trick, he’s started practising it quite a lot and as we still have some balloons blown up from his birthday, he’s been using those as target practise. He … Read more
We have a toddler! A little, mobile, chatty toddler. Yes, Matthew has turned one. A full 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months (chose one) since he was born. And just reading back over the last year worth of blog post it’s incredible how much he has changed. From being this sleepy, curly ball of newborn … Read more
We’ve gotten a bit out of wack this week. We’ve all been on holiday so haven’t really had a routine, have just been going with the flow. Matthew and I have quite enjoyed having Rob at home, haven’t really done much, just hung out. Caught up with some friends and family, which has meant a … Read more
We’ve just celebrated Matthews first Christmas. And unlike most babies Matthews age, he didn’t care much for the boxes or for the wrapping paper. I tried a few times to convince him to rip the paper with me but he didn’t seem overly keen. Was just quite happy to pick up random things and try … Read more
With the year coming to an end, we had quite a busy week last week. Matthew and I attended a few Christmas parties and farewell functions. Wiggle and Rhyme had a special Christmas edition which involved lots of up beat Christmas songs (including quite a few Wiggles Christmas songs, which I have to say might … Read more
