This Week Baby I Promise….

August 22, 2011 By jbmumofone 2 Comments

Spent a lovely Sunday afternoon yesterday at a christening with lots of lovely mummies, thanks Dom :).  As ever, felt great to have a collective rant, especially over cake.  General consensus is that parenting is tricky.  Some things come naturally, others will take a while, and some you may be doomed to be forever rubbish at.So, have decided that I will aim to do one thing better for W each week.  Monday morning seems a good time to start so......This week baby I promise....to dress you more often in proper clothes rather than keeping you in baby-grows because it is ...

Eeeney-Weaney-Miney-Mo: Stage 1

Eeeney-Weaney-Miney-Mo: Stage 1

Weaning.  Without doubt my favourite phase with Baby W so far.  He just looked so delighted with himself on starting solid food. W seemed to be ready to wean from about 4 months old.  He would stare longingly at my food and had begun to start waking in the night, something he, mercifully, had not done often from about 8 weeks.  So he was ready.  But was I?  Seems strange looking back but I remember being absolutely terrified. There appeared to be 2 main weaning strategies.  Either beginning with puréed food or baby led weaning (BLW).  BLW basically means allowing your child to feed ...

Belly-busting countdown…..30 days left

August 18, 2011 By jbmumofone Leave a Comment

Its Thursday.  Weigh-in day.  Having spent the last week crunching, bouncing, wiggling and planking until I could plank no more woke up feeling pretty positive.  Ok.  Pre weigh-in ritual begins.  Clothes off, check.  No food or drink consumed since waking, check.  Been to the loo...well you never know, check.  Mr B at the ready and off we go. "Is your eye lined up with the 0?" "Yes." "You sure?  You're definitely lined up? You're sure?  Ok, ok, here we go." "Errr....................3!  You've lost 3lbs" HURRAH!!!!!! Naked victory dance ensues. "Are their 12lbs in a stone or ...

Highchair Hopes

Highchair Hopes

After Baby W stared hungrily on at mealtimes from just 4 months old we began weaning fairly early on.  By 6 months he was ready for finger food and he just loves feeding himself.  At this stage we found his Bumbo seat with attachable tray ideal.  I could plonk a home made rusk in front of him and he was happy playing with this for a good half hour, enabling me to get stuck into the washing up.  Also really handy when visiting the grandfolks. Once he got a fair bit bigger, and much much stronger a problem arose.  He learnt how to detach the tray himself and said tray, ...

Belly-busting countdown…36 days left.

August 15, 2011 By jbmumofone Leave a Comment

Holy moley have just realised have only 36 days left until our first beach holiday post Baby W's arrival.....and I'm still fat.  Fat and flabby.  At least around the tummy area.  Somehow have managed to lose enough weight from almost all other areas, boobs obviously not included, that appear almost as they did pre-pregnancy but NOT my tummy.  I have a 'MUMMY TUMMY'.  How is that really a kinder way of saying 'FLABBY BELLY'? All my own fault.  From about four months gone a meal just wasn't a meal without a pudding and should I manage to eat just two Cadbury Twirls ...

So what the blog is this all about then?

August 12, 2011 By jbmumofone Leave a Comment

The honest answer would be that I am not really sure.  A friend of mine recently introduced me to the world of blogging and thought this may be fun.  Being a bit of an A-type personality though decided that I need to have a purpose along with my general ramblings.Being a relatively new mum to an 8 month old son and returning to work part time I have found the last few months a bit of a roller-coaster.  The highs have been unbelievable, the lows heartbreaking and the in-betweens mostly hilarious and generally messy.  One thing that has been a huge help from the very ...

Aaaaaah…..the stacking cups!

August 12, 2011 By jbmumofone 2 Comments

As a more experienced Mummy recently pointed out on seeing the above pic of Baby W, "Aaaaaah, the stacking cups.  Single most useful toy ever invented."  How right she was.  I picked up a set one week ago from the Early Learning Centre for just 6 GBP and have been worth every penny.  Without these today alone the washing machine would not have been emptied, lunch would have been burnt to a cinder and the delivery man from Amazon may have actually kicked in the front door.  No mummy should be without them!MOO Score for Stacking CupsEase of use: ★★★★★Value for ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
