Solids update

June 8, 2013 by heatherss 4 Comments

I read somewhere on someone’s blog comments that a pediatrician was quoted as saying “Food before One is Just for Fun.” Well, it may be fun for Nicky, but it certainly isn’t for me. And since he is turning one on the 13th of June, we need to step things up. Here is a blow by blow report of how … [Read more...]

Prayers for Nicky

May 28, 2013 by heatherss 5 Comments

For a while now I've wanted to publicly give thanks for this very special life that God has entrusted us with. I know I'm not the best mother but I'm doing what I can and it was rather nice to do this on Mother's Day. We had some friends in lieu of family around and we prayed for Nicky. We gave … [Read more...]

Dirty Days

May 9, 2013 by heatherss 13 Comments

Some days when we aren't going anywhere, mom lets me loose. That means I can crawl around everywhere as much as I want, and get as dirty as I want too. Our house is a dog house. We love Coffee and Milo terribly, and don't know what we'd do without them, but they sure can drop hair all over the … [Read more...]

Do we need a baby crash helmet?

May 5, 2013 by heatherss 6 Comments

In the last series of "Shameless" I noticed that baby Heimi had a weird kind of black and white padded hat on his head, and I wondered what the heck the thing was for. I mean, was the baby bouncing off the walls? Bouncing around subject to the neglect rampant for all children in the family? Now … [Read more...]

I am the master of the re-direct

April 19, 2013 by heatherss 7 Comments

My little bubs is becoming quite the adventurer these days, grabbing hold of anything he can get his paws on. While he is having lots of fun satisfying his curiosity, it can be rather nerve wrecking for us as, at times, as he puts himself or the object of his affection, in danger. It is at these … [Read more...]

On the move at ten months

April 14, 2013 by heatherss 4 Comments

Well, Nicky continues to grow and grow (and get heavier and heavier to carry). One of the most noticeable differences his past month is that he has been sleeping less. It has been frustrating for me, because nap time is when I work. Previously he would sleep for 2-3 hours, and lately that has … [Read more...]

Living in the moment

February 13, 2013 by heatherss 2 Comments

I am enjoying and appreciating seeing life from a baby's point of view. There is wonder in every little thing. There is joy in exploring any object. Everything must be explored with all the senses, and if this is not possible, much dismay ensues. Ok, I’m not enjoying the tantrums when he drops his … [Read more...]

Sippy cup meltdown

January 23, 2013 by heatherss 2 Comments

  I've mentioned before that Nicky has a thing for water bottles. Well, I had yet to see his reaction to a sippy cup until now. I have never seen the little guy assert his will so strongly! But let me start at the beginning. Recently when I've popped out for a bit I've told my maid … [Read more...]

Playing with solids

January 20, 2013 by heatherss 2 Comments

Now we are back home and things have settled down, I have been making an effort to get Nicky eating some solids. I may still yet use baby led weaning, but for now purees are working for me (the carrot slither disintegrated in his hand). I decided to go with Brenda's suggestion of one food once a … [Read more...]

Travelling with Nicky

January 8, 2013 by heatherss 4 Comments

We are back from a fabulous time with family and friends in the Eastern Cape. It was just so nice to spend time with loved ones.   I think Nicky enjoyed the change of scenery too. He got to meet his aunts, uncles and cousins. My sister came with her hubby and two kids. They loved our pool … [Read more...]
