Washing baby
I’ve blogged before about how N loves the bath, he’s not even that worried about shampoo and having his hair washed. He’s started asking for ‘moo’ (shampoo), and thanks to swimming, although he doesn’t shut his eyes, he is learning…
Milestones
Scared to sleep
N’s always been a good sleeper, even as a newborn he’d sleep to a regular routine (although in short stages), so whenever he’s woken or struggled to get to sleep there’s always been a good reason like illness. But the…
Stair gate issue
Uh oh. N can open the stair gate at the top of the stairs. Ok, so not actually open it, but he can just wrench it open. Methinks the OH needs to do some tending to it to see if…
I wanna be like you, oo, oo
N’s at that great age where he wants to do everything that you do (and other things that maybe you’d rather they didn’t do but are part of the growing toddler independence stage – like spending time pulling his trousers…
Keepsake boxes
A keepsake box is something that’s quite often mentioned in baby magazines or when talking with friends or family members….ooh first shoes, for the keepsake box, first tooth, first outfit etc. I decided to have a vague keepsake box but…
Sleep habits

Singalong car journey
I think I’ve mentioned before how much N enjoys music. I’m pleased because I’ve got pretty eclectic tastes so it’s going to be great if he ends up really into music too (rather than the OH who’s tastes are pretty…
Hot and cold
N’s got really good at recognising which things round the house are going to be hot and therefore what he shouldn’t touch. It’s brilliant that it’s just come from saying hot when he’s been around items that could be hot,…
Soft toys and role play
N’s always had a few soft toys at the head of his cot. He mostly uses them as a pillow (despite the fact he now has a proper one), apart from his taggy blanket and Peter Rabbit he was given…
Toddler tantrum number 1
Well, we’ve had our first tantrum (although I have to say it was muted compared with some other children I’ve seen in the past…maybe I’ve become immune to crying now I’ve got a child of my own). Admittedly, N had…
