Week 45: 26/11 - 02/12

What's on the menu? I had to bring this section back because the boy has eaten a few good meals this week. To start with, we had a full breakfast (can't say full English anymore because I live in Wales) the other day to make up

Week 44: 19/11 - 25/11

Getting about The boy is really moving now. He's cruising around the furniture at some pace. And he's enjoying new games like being chased. You can tell when he wants to play because he gets up by the sofa and gives you this cheeky look on

Week 43: 12/10 - 18/11

Developments We have a "Ba Ba" baby. He's learnt that he can make different sounds with his mouth other than crying or shouting. Or screaming matches with mum. It's extremely cute. Although "babi" is Czech for Grandma, Tee and I are pushing

Week 42: 05/10 - 11/11

More hiking We were surprised with a nice day of weather over the weekend. A great opportunity to explore the hills behind our house. Hoping that if we get up high enough, we might spy Aber falls in the distance. The first two outings in the backpack went so well

Week 41: 29/10 - 04/11

What's on the menu? Brought to you by S&G Hiking I've been waiting for a weather window to get the boy outside in the backpack and last weekend we got a shot. The weather wasn't perfect, it was very windy, but we

Week 40: 22/10 - 28/10

What's on the menu? Tee: I think we're at breaking point Me: I think you mean a turning point? We were way passed breaking point. He's eating more and eating better at the moment. I think the turning point was one day while we

Week 39: 14/10 - 21/10

What's on the menu? Absolutely nothing. Maybe yoghurt? 9 months Today marks 9 months, which means he's been out of the belly as long as he was in the belly. From today onward he will be more familiar with the outside world than the womb. No

Week 38: 08/10 - 14/10

Český překlad je dole What's on the menu? Roland has been continuing to refuse some food. You plate up three options for him there's an 80% chance he will refuse one of them. He recently refused mashed potatoes. He protested in the usually manner, pushing the

Week 37: 01/10 - 07/10

Český překlad je dole What's on the menu? Not a lot. Boy is teething and doesn't like chewing things. It's kind of like whatever you can get in his mouth at the moment. Tee has been making him these frozen (boob) milk, fruit, yoghurt,

Week 36: 14/09 - 30/09

Jestli tohle čteš, omlouvám se, že jsem to nepřeložil dřív. Prosím, sjeď až dolů, kde najdeš verzi přeloženou AI. What's on the menu? Bro's been on one about eating the last couple of weeks. Almost straight up refusing to eat vegetables. He wouldn't protest

Week 35: 17/09 - 23/09

What's on the menu? He's been lucky enough to try two great Czech dishes while he's here; Svíčková and Krupicová Kaše. He had the svíčková without the meat but with the dumplings. He was more of a fan of the dumplings than the sauce.

Week 34: 10/09 - 16/09

Czeski Coming off the back of long weekend in Manchester, we weren't home in Wales for very long before setting off an a trip to the motherland; Czechia. We picked an evening flight hoping that Roland would sleep the whole time. A tradition of many of his firsts.

Week 33: 03/09 - 09/09

What’s on the menu Paper. The boy ate paper this week. It was a stressful time packing for a weekend in Manchester, both mum and dad running around finding bits and bobs to put into the suitcase. All the while, boy was sat on the landing quietly munching a

Week 32: 27/08 - 02/09

What's on the menu? Now we've been through most of the allergens, we can start combine his foods. At dinner time he's having his own little recipes. Like couscous mixed with some cooked vegetables and a piece of fruit for pudding. It's

Week 31: 20/08 - 26/08

What's on the menu? We're on to the allergens now. He's had oats, which has a small amount of gluten. But this week he had bread; the king of gluten. He liked it (and no reaction) so that's a pass. He had

Week 30: 13/08 - 19/08

What's on the menu Bro loves tomatoes. He will polish off a whole quarter of a (big) tomato easy. Might not sound like much but when you're stomach is the size of an orange, it a fair chunk. We're also stepping out of the

Week 29: 06/08 - 12/08

What's on the menu He's really getting the hang of eating. He still can't load the spoon but if you hand him a full spoon, you bet he'll put it in his mouth. Or spread it over his face near his mouth.

Week 28: 30/07 - 05/08

What's on the menu We've been giving Roland a solid meal each day now. Keeping it to one vegetable per two days. After we introduced him to 3 vegetables, we combined them into a meal for him. He had beetroot, courgette and broccoli. He's

Week 27: 23/07 - 29/07

Big boy wheels Now he's 6 months and sitting up I was psyched to put his wheels into sports mode. We made the switch on the pram and took it out for a test drive. It's unreal how much better the pram is like this. It&

Week 26: 16/07 - 22/07

6 months old Today (22/07/25) marks 6 months with the little man. It has gone by quickly and in another 6 months time, we'll be celebrating his first birthday (You understand how times works, right?). Someone recently asked me how fatherhood was going, my response.. It&

Week 25: 09/07 - 15/07

Sunny days It's been damn hot. Which must be tough for the boy as he will be uncomfortable but not able to understand why he's uncomfortable. We tried to keep him cool the best we could; no clothes, a fan, and little dips in the local

Week 24: 02/07 - 08/07

North Wales Socials Roland (or should I say mum) has been desperate for a social life. Thankfully, the villages round here put on free baby events. The problem, they're not all walk-able. On Monday he went for a baby massage in the neighboring village Penmeanmawr, Wednesday is a

Week 23: 25/06 - 01/07

He's only gone and bloody done it Since Roland first rolled from front to back we have been trying to teach him to roll from back to front. It's a real struggle when his preferred position is on his back. Last week we noticed him really

Week 22: 18/06 - 24/06

We did it It’s official, the whole family lives in Wales. It was a tough week of back and fourths, cleaning and sorting, loading and unloading, but now it’s done. Old house keys are handed over and we await to hear our fate from the deposit gods. Shout

Week 21: 11/06 - 17/06

Happy Father's Day Last year this time we knew a baby was coming… what we didn’t know is how much love we’ll feel for this little guy and how hard some days will be. Danny is seriously THE best dad Roland could wish for. The role
