Isla seems to have grown up so much in the two months since her birthday. It seems that every few days you look at her and think: “You’ve changed since yesterday!” Her biggest physical development since turning one is that we now have those gorgeous wibbly first steps. She has been walking for a few [...]

Isla is now 10 months old – it seems impossible that my littlest baby is coming up to her first birthday so fast! She is now much more mobile, she’s crawling and practicing doing a “bridge” with her feet and hands on the floor and her bottom sticking up in the air! She isn’t fully [...]

Last week we enjoyed another lovely week at Center Parcs – I think this is the fifth time we’ve been in the last three years. For the second time we went to Whinfell Forest, in the Lake District, and were lucky to reap the benefits of the unseasonably sunny and warm first week of spring, in fact [...]

This week was my first week back at work after maternity leave. It was been a much planned for and anxiously anticipated week. It was also the week when Isla would start nursery properly, and Tony would take charge of the children in the mornings, having to get them to nursery by himself on two of those [...]
The baby monitor isn’t working…

… And now I can’t relax! Our baby monitor has served us well for three years… until today when it developed a syndome akin to the ‘red ring of death’, started beeping incessantly and the light flashing red. We only live in a small 2 bed house, and, in truth, we can hear when either [...]

My darling baby Isla, you are now officially six months old. And in the last week you have become more animated than ever, you seem to have suddenly gone from a babe in arms to an inquisitive little person! You are still a very placid & laid back baby, you only ever cry for food [...]

Isla is now 19 weeks old and turning into a chubby, happy and curious little lady. Her personality, since birth, has been very calm and chilled out. She very rarely does that screaming crying thing that Lilly used to do all the time, and if Isla does do it, we know something’s up! She is [...]

Well, here we are – Isla is three months now, and Lilly is motoring very fast towards three! Isla is still a very good baby – sleeps a lot during the day and has been sleeping through the night for about three weeks now. She remains extremely placid and chilled out in character – in [...]

Last week we spent Monday to Friday at Center Parcs in Cumbria – Whinfell Forest. We are big Center Parcs fans, and have been twice to Elveden Forest (East Anglia) and once to Sherwood Forest (Nottingham) since Lilly was 10 months old. This was our first time at Whinfell – Elveden being our favourite so [...]
