We had planned to go to soft play one afternoon. Bob was refusing to have a nap and I knew that if she didn’t sleep she would be very grumpy when we got there. I wondered about setting off early and driving around for a while. (This is the only sure fire way to make her sleep.) My husband suggested that I set off, wait until Bob had fallen asleep and then find somewhere to pull over and read a [click here to read on]
Do you ever feel that, now you have become a Mum, you have lost who you really are? Bob is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I can’t imagine my life without her! We have much more fun and my life has a bigger purpose since she came along. Sometimes though, it seems like I am nothing but a Mummy. We went to a wedding last weekend and my husband took Bob out for a couple [click here to read on]
Bob’s sleeping has improved. We now get three hours sleeps! I know this is not great by many people’s standards but it is fabulous by mine! The main problem now is that she wants lots of milk overnight. Until she was one I excused this. By the book up to the age of one she was allowed three bottles a day.

I ended up writing my own weaning plan combining the information from the books that I had read and my own opinions, as the books seemed to contradict each other. I decided to wean Bob at 5 months as she had started showing a great interest in food. I held her off for as long as I [click here to read on]
Silent Sunday As it is no longer Sunday and I do not need to be silent, I am going to link this photo up with I Heart My Snap and Joshua’s Photo Party.
On Friday my gorgeous baby girl turned one! I am not sure where this last year has gone! You would think that it would have gone slowly, as there have been many more waking hours in the day since Bob arrived, but it has passed in a heartbeat! Bob was a little under the weather on Friday so we had quite a relaxing day. We played with her new toys, did some last minute preparation for her party on Saturday [click here to read on]
