Starting Weaning
A few weeks ago, when he was hitting the six month mark, I began trying to give Henry solid foods for the first time. My aunt had advised me that once babies start putting things in their mouth that means they are ready to have a go at real food. I was really excited to … read more >
5 months old
Henry is five months old now, which is impossible to believe. He is becoming so much more animated and interactive. He smiles at us and laughs all the time, he even plays little games — usually involving ripping up the Sunday Papers. He is also much more happy to play on his tummy which I’m … read more >
Baby Cal’s First Holiday
I pondered, I fretted and I nearly cancelled the whole thing. Of course my husband never worried about taking our three month old baby boy to the scorching Italian sun. “We will keep him indoors in the day”, he said. “He will adjust”.

Baby Cal’s arrival
I am extremely excited to be writing this latest blog as a mum! My baby boy arrived six weeks early and I will admit, I was not completely prepared. It all happened so quick and culminated in an emergency C section. I am delighted to report that he is perfect in every way, the drama … read more >
The Birth!
So our baby boy is out loose in the world at last and life, as we know it has altered forever. So in the end all my yoga, birth training and intimate (ick!) massages were in vain. Baby Bean was delivered by c-section just over a week early. There was a bit of a frantic … read more >
