I asked Drikus Le Roux to do a photo shoot for me. The idea was to get some photos of our family to create some memories with my grandfather and grandmother. It is my 70th birthday gift to him. I’m going to have prints done and put them in an album for them. When my [...]
We’ve been toying with the idea of moving when our lease expires. It expires at the end of August this year. We would like to live in a house, without neighbours literally on our doorstep. We would like to have a garage and a yard with some grass for Babyice to play on. You would [...]
Babyice has a problem where he spits up. Very often. I chatted to the pediatrician’s assistant about it on Skype and she spoke to the doctor. After answering a few questions, they suggested we try and limit Babyice’s formula intake to 750ml per day and feed him more solids. I thought this was going to [...]
I’ve got some photos of Babyice and his “girlfriend” Z The first three pictures are of their very first playdate. Not very interested in each other. The ones that follow are from the most recent playdate – much more interested in each other! I’m sure they are going to be great friends! Z is sooooo [...]
I thought I’d post a few pictures of Babyice’s room (click on an image to englarge): We’ve also started bathing Babyice in the “big bath” since he was splashing a lot and getting too big for his plastic baby bath. It proved quite tricky, but after we bought him a Kango bath seat with the [...]
A lot has happened since I’ve last posted. I was awarded Woman of the Week by She’s The Geek. A great honour! Feel free to go and leave a comment on the interview! I’ve also been published on Parent24! If you’re an avid blog reader, you’ll recognize the post. I really didn’t know if they’d [...]
So we’ve started Babyice on solids, on the pediatrician’s advice. I don’t know whether or not it’s going well. He doesn’t seem to like it at all. Here are some photos we took when we fed him for the first time: I don’t even know if it’s going well or not. Third day in and [...]
Yesterday we went for Babyice’s 4 months check up at the pediatrician. Again I went with a list of questions and we got more than we bargained for! The doctor is completely happy with his development. He weighs 7.245kg already! He is blooming heavy to lug around all day. Apparently him not wanting to play [...]
I had such a disappointing experience with Huggies Gold nappies the other day I thought I should post about what products I find best from using them. For Babyice’s bottles we use telemant colic drops to help with winds. We’ve been lucky as he wasn’t a colic baby and didn’t have many problems with winds. [...]
