J didn’t start using a beaker properly until he was around 18 months old – at three years old he has only just started using a cup regularly. Now, N wants to be exactly like his big brother and was always stealing his beaker so we got him his own, though he did take a while to get the hang of it but he pretty much always has one now. Now J uses a cup, of course N wants to be the same. That’s where the 360° Junior beaker from Anywayup comes in handy. At only 14 months old I wasn’t sure …

Little man N at 1 year 2 months old
My baby boy is fast growing up. It feels even more so because most of the things he’s doing now, are before the age at which J did them so it’s all a bit quick for me compared to last time! He just wants to be like his big brother really, but his antics are going to be the death of me one day – I’ve lost count of how many times already my heart has nearly jumped out of my mouth! Since his last update he still hasn’t been weighed, I think I’ll go and get him weighed before his …
Little man N at 1 year 1 month old
I am rather late with posting this update – over three weeks in fact – but better late than never, hey?! (I’m sure I’ve said that before…). So it seems N is on that precipice between baby and toddler, which I have named the boddler stage (well actually Sarah at Let Them Be Small suggested the term over on Twitter, and I’ve stolen it, I think it’s great!). He is becoming so much like his brother and I’m not sure who I have to watch more nowadays, N or J! He’s definitely developing his own mega cheeky little personality that I think …

Inside the boys’ Easter basket
Last year was the first year that we were a family of four. N was only a few weeks old, but I made an Easter basket – well, actually a papier mache chicken – for J, so I thought I would carry on the tradition and do another one this year. I have left it rather late, though, so the boys have one between them, as I don’t think N will really be interested – I’m not sure how well that will go in theory, though!
Little man N at 1 year old!
I can’t quite believe the time for this particular update has finally come around – it feels like only a couple of months ago that I wrote his first one! So as it is, my little baby boy is now one year old, and veering away from being a baby and turning into a cheeky little toddler instead. Both my boys have cheeky personalities, but I think N is even more so than J! He hasn’t been weighed since his ten month check which I mentioned in his last update so I have no idea how much he weighs now – …
