Baby mine.

July 30, 2012 by

Bene, now you are six months old. Not today, because life has gone fast and I missed the exact date, though I noticed. It’s good to have been too busy, too happy, too relaxed to feel I had to write exactly on the day. You are six months. Half. Year. A while new life. A […]

Oh, you know what… behave.

July 13, 2012 by

Light and fluffy. Light and fluffy. Must try harder. If this 8 seconds of video doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will 🙂 This is Bene in his new Stokke Sleepi. There is no way we could have afforded this – he would have had a travel cot – but we were gifted […]

Where'd the Bene go? Here he is :)

July 7, 2012 by

Gratuitous boy pics. You know you want them. He looks a bit bigger in that blanket these days. Did I mention we all completely love him? He rolled today, proper rolled with arm out from under and head up. Rolling and sitting in a week.

When I was just a little boy…

June 28, 2012 by

Dear Ben, You are 5 months old. You are part of us. You have been here long enough that your sisters don’t always want to marvel over you and sometimes want to hand you back. This is amazing; I hope you will never know how amazing. This month they have forgiven the world enough not […]

Coming up for air. Breastfeeding amendments.

June 24, 2012 by

A few days ago I admitted defeat over exclusive breast feeding. It hasn’t really worked for Bene and I all that well; he has gained weight brilliantly (he’s over 16lbs at just short of five months, which given he was 5 1/2 lbs at one point is quite impressive) and he sleeps all night which […]

Finished it Friday: Ben's Cardigan

June 22, 2012 by

I fear I left it too long with this one. I started it when he was a few weeks old and got distracted, thought it wouldn’t matter because he was so small and then he got huge through doing all the feeding that stopped me knitting and now this is clearly only going to fit […]

Stuff we do.

June 21, 2012 by

I’ve got a post coming up sometime soon on why it’s been such a very long stream of at home days for so long and what we are doing about it, but while life has been mostly home, we’ve got on and done nice things. It’s been the mostly lovely, healing 4 months forums. We’ve […]

Review: Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Video Sensor Monitor

June 18, 2012 by

You might remember that I posted a while ago about needing to move Ben into his own bed, for the sake of my sanity as much as anything. He slept in my bed on one side of a king sized mattress for the first 12 weeks or so. He’s been a really good sleeper from […]

I have achieved nothing for a week.

June 1, 2012 by

All this boy does is eat…. Eat… Eat! So humour me and be impressed by these photos in lieu of the many things I would like to say… Then vote for me in the MADs (button on the right!) and say hello on the DKL blog so they think I’m doing my job 🙂 How […]

Baby got blue eyes.

May 27, 2012 by

Dear Ben, Today you are 4 months old. You love to stand, you talk to us in your baby ‘ah goooooo’ language. You watch, you copy, you dribble. You feed, all day, every day With. Out. Stopping. You are huge, considering the baby you are. You are twisting and turning and trying to turn over, […]
