I skipped Arlo’s 8 month update as I didn’t have a laptop, I’ve now borrowed my mums so I can get this one up on time with the linky & a better photo!Β The last two months have been huge in terms of development, Arlo is now moving all over the place, crawling properly, pulling himself… Read More
We started the weaning journey with Arlo around the time he turned six months, and have been doing it the ‘baby led weaning‘ way. To make Arlo’s introduction to food as fun as possible those lovely people at Cosatto sent us the incredibly funky Waffle Highchair in Pitter Patter pattern! What is it: A chair… Read More
It’s no secret Arlo doesn’t sleep through the night yet. It isn’t a huge problem really as he sleeps in a cot attached to my bed or in my bed so when he wakes up I just breastfeed him back to sleep and often I fall asleep before he does. However it would be lovely… Read More
Pressing, sliding, spinning and dinging. All things activities that little hands love to do, and there is all this and more with the cleverly designed Ambi Toys Activity Case. Easy to carry with the carry handle, this is a surprisingly lightweight toy too. We’ve found it really easy to take with us to pop under… Read More
I always aimed to wait until Arlo hit 6 months before we started weaning but he was grabbing at food (and playdoh, leaves and grass)Β and shoving it in his mouth with such determination that we actually started a couple of weeks prior to six months, as we did with Athena. However this time we’re heading… Read More
I am amazed at how speedily the last six months have gone. Half a year as a family of four, yet in some ways it seems like Arlo has always been here! The first six months of Athenas life were a lot more relaxed, sometimes we didn’t leave the house for a few days, we… Read More
I’ve written this post to potentially help any parents out there that come across croup, to either help them spot it if it happens to their child or to at least know a little more about it. I asked in twitter if a post would help and got a few yes replies, I’m (obviously!) not… Read More
If you read my post a couple of weeks ago about how an underwater photo shoot works then you may have been awaiting the actual photos! Not as eagerly as us probably seeing it is OUR baby… but anyway they’ve arrived! I am SO impressed with them, take a look! Does he not look like… Read More
Well swipe me down with a feather, Arlo is four months old! He’s changed a lot physically over the last month, mostly in size as he’s now a chunky 18lbs (well, this is calculated by standing on the scales with and without him) but he’s rapidly growing out of 3-6 month clothes already and as… Read More
A couple of weekends ago we went for an underwater photo shoot as part of our term with Waterbabies (you can read about our experience so far here) so that we could have a few photos taken of Arlo looking incredibly cute underwater! I thought I’d write about the experience so anyone contemplating it knows… Read More
