  Posted on Wednesday May 27th, 2009 at 17:37 in children, liam, first times

  In another first this week, we managed to give Liam a much needed haircut. It was a bit of a struggle at first. Liam kept turning his head to look at the clippers, but eventually he settled down. He looks so different now....

• Daddy, who makes us?

  Posted on Wednesday May 27th, 2009 at 15:00 in children, Personal, ellie

  On Monday morning Ellie asked me a question. You know that question, the one that every parent dreads: Daddy, who makes us? “Who makes us?” I replied, hastily thinking of an answer. What do you say to a little girl who is nearly 4 about w...

  Yesterday, Liam crawled for the first time. He has finally worked out how to get mobile. So, now we are going to have to have eyes in the back of our heads. He’s going to be into everything....

  Liam is starting to find his way around the house in his baby-walker. This means that we are going to have to babyproof the house. This evening I caught him figuring out how to open the washing machine. Liam is going to be into everything. ThereR...

  Last week we all went on a short break to Center Parcs in the Whinfell Forest near Penrith. We’d never been to a Center Parcs before so we were a little in the dark about what to expect. A few of our friends had been before and had given us exc...

• Ellie’s Comments

  Posted on Sunday February 8th, 2009 at 09:33 in children, humour, ellie

  Ellie is at that age where some of the things that she says can have Gemma and I in pleats of laughter. Sometimes the laughter isn’t appropriate, but it is just so hard to keep it under control. For example, the other day, Ellie was playing wit...

• Building A Snowman

  Posted on Tuesday February 3rd, 2009 at 16:40 in children, Personal, photos, snow, ellie

  Yesterday was the first real chance that Ellie and I have ever had to build a snowman. With the British weather being the way it is, we’ve never really had the chance before. Usually the snow has disappeared by the time we get to make one. Here...

• First Tooth for Liam

  Posted on Sunday January 18th, 2009 at 17:12 in children, liam, first times

  Liam has got his first tooth poking through his little gums. It’s been coming for the last couple of days, but today it has finally broken through. Hopefully, in the next few days Liam will co-operate, and I’ll be able to get a photo of i...

• Ellie Gives The Game Away

  Posted on Monday December 22nd, 2008 at 07:27 in family, children, events, presents, christmas, ellie, gemma

  If you’ve got young children, as we have, I would like to give you a word of warning. When it comes to Christmas time and you are buying a present for your wife, don’t let the kids see…. On Saturday, the present that I had ordered a...

• First Tastes

  Posted on Friday October 24th, 2008 at 09:28 in children, liam, first times, weaning

  Here’s Liam having his first taste of something other than milk: We thought that we’d try Liam initially on baby rice, but he wasn’t too keen on that. And who can blame him? It’s absolutely tasteless. Anyway, we’ve moved...

• Well Done Ellie

  Posted on Thursday October 23rd, 2008 at 02:15 in children, events, toilet training, ellie, first times

  This is just a quick post to say a great big “Well Done” to Ellie. Last night was the first night that she has slept through the night without the need for her to wear training pants to bed. She woke this morning and there was no sign of ...

  Or Nursesry as Ellie has been calling it Monday was a milestone in the Jones household. It was the day when Ellie had her first taste of nursery. Ellie had been excited in the run up to this day, telling everyone that she was going to “big sc...

• Liam - Aged 3 Months

  Posted on Wednesday October 1st, 2008 at 13:57 in children, liam, crawling, weaning, health visitor

  Its hard to believe that it is 3 months since Liam was born! Gemma had him weighed last week, and he is doing really well. He now tips the scales at 14lb (a whole stone!). I’m sure it won’t be too long before we’re thinking about we...

• Children Pick Up On Everything

  Posted on Monday September 8th, 2008 at 08:27 in children, ellie, gemma

  While we were on holiday last week Ellie left Gemma and I shocked. We were sitting down waiting to have some lunch, Ellie was finishing off a lollipop. She started messing around with it, and after a few moments Gemma and I suddenly stopped and looke...
