River's house Roland made a new friend this week; River. River is a rare friend as he's younger than Roland and by quite a margin (16 weeks!). He was very impressed with Moses basket. Tee had a little bit of a hard time getting him all

Family Visit Roland had a tough day last Wednesday. He had another vaccine and this one was an injection. While he took the initial jab really well, his leg was very sore later in the afternoon. Lucky for him, his cousins, Auntie and Nain were there too look after him.

New toys When you need him to chill alone you will hand him a toy for entertainment. He will smash it into his mouth and then throw it away. You hand him another one and he does the same. I feel it's how he recognizes things. The toys

Hiking I've mentioned before that we were planning on taking the boy on a slightly more adventurous hike and we did that last weekend. We went to Lathkill Dale which is a limestone area of the Peak. While more rural than daisy nook, nothing too serious. The route

Welsh Cousins We went back to my parent house and introduced Baby Roland to all his cousins. While apprehensive to begin with, they each had a turn holding him. Figuring out how old he’ll be when they’re 18 (youngest will be 18 when he’s 11) gives me

Photos People tell you to savour these moments because they’ll never be this small again. But they don’t tell you how hard it is to savour the moments when you’re covered in shit. So I want to buy a new camera. It’s easier to look back

Cafe time Usually when we’re out for a walk, the little man is stuck in his pram. Even if we go in somewhere someone is stood outside with him. But this week he made it out of the pram and into the cafe. He even had a little boobycino.

Moving goal posts I think this phrase encapsulates new born babies the most. Quite often our worst days or nights have followed one of us saying something along the lines of “I think we’ve cracked it”. Spoiler alert; you’ve never cracked it. Sleep Last week I said that

Walks outside We're starting to settle into a rhythm now as a family. And one of those beats is going for a walk. As a previously active family, but still very much recovering family, getting out and about around the canal is a slice of our old life.
