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
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...]
A new start: One step at a time
[subscribe2]Welcome to my new blog space! My old space was constantly getting hacked, so this is my new spot. So, why “One step at a time” ? Well, I think in life it helps to take things one step at a time. It is overwhelming to do things all at once. You might have noticed that this title … [Read more...]
The Family Bed
I know I haven’t been blogging much lately. It has been pretty hectic this side. We had a robbery about a week ago. Two TVs, some jewelry and my IPad were stolen. I am really missing my IPad as I use d to be able to sit with Nicky and write a post, but sitting at a computer … [Read more...]
Living in the moment

Sarah Holland, in case you don't know, is a fertility expert - she started out with reflexology and then went into EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). She has managed to get … [Read more...]
Trying baby led weaning
Just thought I’d share some pictures of Nicky trying finger food. Most of it landed on the floor, but that is part of the fun. … [Read more...]
Sippy cup meltdown
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
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
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...]
