Nobody tells you that ‘The Terrible Twos’ don’t actually start at 2, they start months before that. The extra tantrums, the defiance, the clinginess but mostly the frustration. We’re all exhausted.

It's been a little while since I last shared anything on here, so here comes a bit of a ramble...grab a cuppa, sit back and enjoy!

So it’s official, Freddie is up and moving about. A month ago, he was still cruising, now he’s almost running. This past week has been a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions. My mood has been all over the place, it’s all been a bit much.

It’s crazy how quickly toddlers develop and learn new things. One minute they’re doing one thing, the next they’re practically running a marathon.

After a semi relaxing week off, this one has been quite different. I've had so many ups and downs, it's been a week of change.

We had a week where both of us were off at the same time so needless to say it’s been a very full on 7 days. We have enjoyed some days out here and there, but mostly just been spending a lot of time as the three of us.

This past week has been fairly quiet, we've all been unwell with a summer cold - sneezing, sinus pain, headaches & a cough. Lovely.

For a while I have wanted to do a weekly blog post but always struggled to find the motivation to do so, here's hoping this is the first of many...I have seen a fair few other blog posts doing a similar thing so here we go.

1 year has flown by, it's so strange to imagine life any differently now though. So much has changed for us all and honestly, I don't know where time has gone, but I know I wouldn't change anything.

All I have always been told is "you can't start weaning before 6 months" with a mix of "he'll let you know when he's ready". It's confusing, like everything else baby related!
