Time Flies

Ethan was 14 months old last Saturday. 

As has been pointed out to me my blog has been somewhat neglected. How to fit just over a year into one post? Wow.. what an adventure. 

My precious bobble head is growing up. Looking back at my last post and the pic of him at 6 weeks, he has changed so much. It's wonderful and sad all at the same time. I want to hold that precious little 8lb baby again and yet I am delighted to see my little munchkin dashing around the flat giggling and getting into as much mischief as he can.

He's walking now, took his first steps the day after his first birthday. He's got 8 teeth, all the front ones, weighs 19lbs and is stinkingly cute.

He started nursery in December, currently going 3 days a week it's been a good socializing time for him and they also get up to much more fun, messy play than Mummy does. We've had some of his first artwork home as well.

Mothers Day was March 10th in the UK

March 15th was Red Nose Day, our most popular national charity fund raising event.

Still breastfeeding, will keep that up till he is two most likely as the World Health Organization recommends. Still in his cloth nappies, they've been wonderful and I don't regret them for a minute. He spent one week in disposables recently due to a rather nasty bout of nappy rash and I spent every day checking his nappy every 30 seconds cause they stunk. 

I am definitely becoming a happy hippie Mum and have fallen in love with the Unconditional Parenting methodologies taught by Dr Laura Markham and Alfie Kohn. 

My personal health and fitness has been slow going but I think I am finally making some strides in the right direction. Given that Ethan has suddenly discovered my belly button and insists on poking it I have a little more inspiration to get it as flat as possible :) I've been doing a Tai Chi Program called Tai Cheng. I've been a follower and fan or Dr Cheng for a long time now and I'm loving this program. Had an urge to learn Tai Chi for a long time and this is fitting the bill nicely. 

I'll leave you with Ethan's first dancing attempts
