Metal Mummy

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 [...]

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 [...]

It doesn’t seem two minutes since Freyja was sitting up by herself. Now she has mastered that and doesn’t topple much at all anymore, it seems as though she has her eyes set on a new skill… the Freyja shuffle. She is trying so hard to crawl – she can bring her knees up, but [...]

Freyja is coming on leaps and bounds – it’s quite scary just how quickly time seems to be flying. It doesn’t seem 2 seconds since I was praising her for rolling over unaided, and smiling because she had learned to laugh. Now, she has learnt how to sit up. She hasn’t quite mastered the art [...]

It only feels like yesterday that Freyja was too small to fit in her Newborn clothes. Yet, here I am, packing them away into one of them funky vacuum bags, because she’s too big for them! She’s in the 0-3 months clothes now – most fit her fine, some are a little big for her [...]

We’ve been debating with the idea that Freyja is teething already, for a couple of weeks now. We’re pretty convinced she is. And, our health visiting expert, AKA my mum, thinks so too. So teething it is.
The main reasons for thinking she is, is the constant dribbling and the constant obsession with sucking her fists. [...]

As I said in my previous post, Freyja had her 8 week check a couple of days ago. Minus the fact that the immunisations nearly made me cry, let alone Freyja, the check up went fine. She’s developing fantastically, following the 50th percentile and is basically perfect.
One thing I can’t help but want to question [...]
