Duke is on solids and we love making purees- I just bought these unreal cubes which you put the puree in, freeze, then can microwave and feed straight from them as they are microwave and dishwasher safe!

Check out the bib too....such a wicked idea! They are interchangeable so you just wash the fabric part, then clip on another clean one as you get 3 x interchangable fabric bibs!

A scary moment.

Dummies. A whole another debate. Our personal view on them is what ever gets you through and its all good either way and some kids love them while others dont like them. When its 3am and you hear a cry and you can run in put one in and its back to sleep within seconds I love them.

Duke LOVES too suck and he will suck anything and everything (neck, fingers, remotes) and has done so since he was in the womb ( the nurse could tell as it came up on the monitor during my contractions) so a dummy has been a fixture in his life when he goes to sleep....wack one in his mouth and he is alseep within seconds!!

He would spit it out when asleep and when he woke he would fish around for it and pop it back in. Why deny that from him? it that all changed today....

My dad the super nanny was looking after him today and when he usually wakes we leave him in the cot for a play till he wakes fully...he usually has a chat to himself. Funny.

Dad heard him stir and left him and then he heard an unusual cry out, he ran in and Duke has wedged his dummy in ,the wrong side around in his mouth and it was stuck. dad had to force it out of his mouth and gave him a huge fright.my god how scary for him.

So warning...little men have the dexterity at 5 1/ 2 months to turn the dummy around and force it into their mouths without knowing what they are doing....the dummy has now been banned from his bed when he is awake and used in only dia circumstances!

Love soph + duke

my husband and the dogs worst nightmare!!!

Couldn't resist posting these....I could only imagine Duke off to his aunty's house to live he if had a go at doing this....

all bibs should be black..

hi guys sorry haven't written for a while...been working some solid hours and got run down from probably doing too much and not looking after myself.

had the flu this weekend and I tell you its so hard being a mum when your sick- you can't get out of bed too get too bub as every bone aches in your body and you have the sweats and runny nose...argh so heavy! All you want too do is have a kiss and a cuddle but you can't as you don't want too pass the germs on and too have a sick baby on your hands. Fingers crossed he doesn't get it.

Thank god for my beautiful husband who did the late night bottles and attended to Duke when I couldn't and a big thankyou to my dad who helped out on sat when Cj had to work. You need your family when you get sick that's for sure!

So Dukes 1st dad days was filled with snotty tissues and home cooked breaky by my husband while I was in bed...babe I owe you another dads day! He did get a cool pressie from Duke- a tattoo voucher!!

Duke had banana with apple puree today and loved it....another tip mix potatoe puree with pumpkin it takes a little of the orange out- it stains less!

And only buy dark coloured bibs not with anything that can distract little eyes and fingers while eating.....SO ANNOYING!! In fact I have pulled out my old black T-shirts and Duke wears them inside out when he eats as he is soo messy....hmmmm think thats from me!!??

ps. congrats to a beautiful friend of mine who has just found out she's gonna be a mumma!!

Love Soph + Duke
