Albie is the youngest member of the family and whilst he may be the last, he certainly isn’t the least. He has one very big character!!
Last Sunday didn’t go quite as we had planned. Beanie Boy was having a sleepover at my Aunt’s house with Nanna but unfortunately he became ill through the night and was sick a number of times. The plan had been for him to spend the day with Nanna whilst Daddy, the remaining Beans and myself … Read more
I knew I would be repaid eventually for my trials and tribulations as the parent of a fussy eater like Little Bean. Beanie Boy was a huge improvement on Little Bean when it came to weaning by at least attempting new foods even if he didn’t like them and now that we have weaning well … Read more
I’m sorry to say that I have got my ‘quality time’ posts in completely the wrong order. The week before I went to London with Little Bean, I had a day out with Beanie Boy just the two of us. Beanie Boy has always been very much a Mummy’s boy to the point that he … Read more

Yesterday saw another ‘first’ for Jelly Bean. Along with Beanie Boy he attended his First Christmas Party at our local playgroup. As you can see from the pictures, he revelled in the attention from the older children and they clearly love him too. He loved sliding his way around the floor and chasing the various … Read more
Now that Jelly Bean is that little bit older it’s nice to be able to take him to the park with Beanie Boy whilst Little Bean is at school and for him to be able to join in, instead of being stuck in the confines of the pushchair watching as Beanie Boy has fun. Last … Read more
I swear if you close your eyes for just a second, these babies grow a whole inch! This week my cute little Jelly Bean seems to have grown up overnight, one minute he is still merrily SAS-style crawling his way around the house, the next he is pulling himself up to kneeling being extremely cheeky … Read more
