And it’s suddenly mid-March 2008. Where in the world did the time, and for that matter, the year go?
Let’s start with Bert. His vocab has grown considerably recently, and his ability to pronounce words is getting better. Sure, Phoebe is still generally bee-bee, but he can and does say fee-bee a lot of the […]

Hey all, tis been a while.
In the news department, Henry rolled for the first time on the 2nd December and hadn’t bothered again in ages. On Boxing Day he decided to start doing it again, every time we left him on his back. The next day, Kennedy decided to follow suit. Now we’re constantly going […]

This morning Bert did his first poo in the potty! Huzzah!!
Now if only I could stop him weeing everywhere but.

Is it wrong for me to want to kick the pants of the kid teasing my gal? If it is, then tell me how I make them stop. I know she only has about 6 weeks left at this school (and primary school full stop for that matter) but I don’t want them to be […]

Well… and 7 weeks later….
Hello. And who am I? Yes, exactly. Who the heck am I. It feels like an age since I’ve written on this thing and that feeling may actually be the truth; I haven’t gone and looked for my last post, but I daresay it was way longer than just 7 weeks […]

Have been thinking for a while that during my time at home, Bertie can be like his (as yet unborn) siblings and wear cloth nappies. Supposedly babies toilet train better from cloth, as they can tell when they are wet and ask to be changed or put on the potty sooner. OK, so that’s the […]

Hey all, Tony is setting up an auto SMS system again with this birth. If you’re interested in being one of the ‘first to know’, drop me a line at rae@anthonymalloyDOTcom (course, you have to remove the word DOT and replace with an actual .) with your mobile number and we’ll add you to the […]

Goodness me. Just realised one of my ‘here’s one I prepared earlier’ stretchmarks is feeling different. Take a squizz and realise it’s still silver (old) but has a longer tail on it, which is red (new).
Harrumph. The poor old body still has 10 weeks to go, if we go full term. She’s-a-gonna take a battering.

Bought Bertie some new Pjs on the weekend, in flannellette, lovely and warm for winter. I always buy flanny PJs in a size too big, as they are notorious in shrinkage, so that’s why I got the size 3 for Bert.
Heh. Made us laugh when we discovered the size 3 come complete with doodle hole. […]

When Bert was very little, I had some towelling nappies that I used constantly. They were fitted nappies, so looked a little like disposables and were very easy to use. Just velcro it on, add pilchers for external dryness and there you go. I kept the 4 we had of these, with the clothes that […]
