Metal Mummy

Yesterday wasn’t a good day for bumps and bruises. Freyja’s morning nap ended in a massive thud, through trying to stand up in her Gro-Bag, and failing miserably. She must have tried to stand, using the cot as support, but must have missed her footing and falling backwards, into the only part of the cot [...]

Freyja’s teeth have been gradually pushing through for the past few months, and we’ve been “finger brushing” them since the second one came through. But yesterday, James came home with her first toothbrush – a pink one of course. He was disappointed that he couldn’t find one with a suction cup so it could stick [...]

We’ve been meaning to pop to the park with Freyja for a while now, and last Sunday proved to be the day we actually went.
Freyja already had her first experience of a park when we were in Andorra, but there weren’t any baby swings, so her fun was quite limited. She did enjoy the slide though – [...]

Today was the first time Freyja went in her new car seat. It’s a Britax Eclipse forward facing one, that she can stay in til she’s 4. It’s awesome, and has a funky table thing you can stick on it, for when she’s bored on longer journeys. We haven’t put the table on it yet [...]

Freyja’s not going to appreciate this post when she grows up and reads it – she’ll probably say something like “Mum, you are so embarrassing, I hate you!”, but I’ll deal with that when and if it happens.
Last night, James went to bath her like he usually does, and cries out for help. I think, [...]

Poor Freyja hasn’t been her usual self the past couple of days. She’s usually a ray of sunshine, sociable, happy and a little monkey. But the past couple of days, she’s been miserable, sad and laid up with a cold and cough. She’s just not been herself, and being miserable and sad doesn’t suit her [...]

I am useless. I really am. I aimed to blog a lot more often than this. I need to put time aside every couple of days to write something in here. So much happens, I don’t want to miss anything out. It can be like a belated New Year resolution.
I’ve also finally got a spam [...]

It seems I have been slacking a bit when it comes to blogging. You’d think I’d be updating this most days, seeing as my aim is to write about Freyja for when she’s older, to jot down snippets of our life, and make a note of when she first does things. However, I’ve been terribly [...]

Well, I think we are just about recovering from the past week. It’s been a pretty hectic one, but a lovely one. Freyja’s granny and grandad were over from France for a week and it we had a lovely time. It did mean Freyja’s days were a bit mucked up – her routine was pretty [...]

Freyja has been having extra carbohydrates on top of her breast milk for a number of weeks now, since she was about 15 weeks old. Now, at 6 months old, it’s time to wean her properly – I thought, or rather *hoped* that the task would be a breeze; that she wouldn’t be fussy in [...]
