After a couple of issues and setbacks last month regarding the posting of my parcel from my penpal Kim, I finally received it this week – better late than never as they say! Anyhow, it was worth the wait in the end as it contained lots of yummy items. First up some naughty sweet stuff: a chocolate cake bar – I’ve just tucked into this but I had a pear afterwards, so that cancels it out, right?… a mini pack of Lotus biscuits – I’ve had these before and they are delicious. a Reese’s NutRageous bar – I love these …
Little man N at 2 months old
2 months old! Just where has the time gone?! N had his first visit to baby group at one month old, though he slept the whole time whilst his brother played! He was in the sling though which explains it, he could sleep forever in there. He also had his first visit to the doctors! For a few days he had a white tongue, at first I thought it was just deposited milk but after trying to remove it, it wouldn’t come off. It turned out he had a case of thrush, poor baby. We got some medication and it …
Review – Plum Little Yums teething wafers
Even though he’s now 2 years old, little man J is still teething. His first tooth came through at 9 months old, and he still only has 12 full teeth – 13 & 14 are currently on their way through!

Little Yums are light, delicious wafers made with the nutritious ancient grain buckwheat, plus fruit and veggies. They’re the perfect …
Little man N’s first vaccinations
N turned 8 weeks old on Saturday, so yesterday he was booked in to have his first lot of vaccinations. As I did with J, I was dreading it, though I think they upset me more! First though we had to see the doctor for his check up. When I laid him on the couch for her she exclaimed “He’s tall isn’t he!” as he filled the whole width! He is tall though, just like his Daddy and big brother. She was happy with everything and how he is growing, though she said she was going to give me a prescription …
Our Easter 2014
Since little man J arrived, he has actually seen two Easter holidays. The first year, he was only a few weeks old, so he received nothing at all, and last year, he had just turned one, so he received a couple of eggs from family and some clothes from us. This year, I wanted to make it a bit more fun, so I made him a special basket full of goodies (he had no big eggs from us, as he got them from family again). (Next year, though, we will probably have an egg hunt as there will be both …
