Bloody amazing watching them grow almost before your eyes. This week my wee man - 3 years 3 months - has just flourished.

Every time we get a week off together as a family he visibly shoots on, which always makes me massively melancholy about working and what I miss whilst I'm working.

Took him up a hill today with him mostly on my shoulders, me almost crying because a) I can't lift him that far and it was sore, but b) I can't lift him that far and it will be sore when I can't do it or he doesn't want me to do it for him.

My wee boy must've come through to my room during the night without waking me. He woke me in the early hours by telling me "Daddy, I want a carrot". I told him to go to sleep and he then announced "Daddy, I want a biscuit". Wee fatty that he is.

I've said this before on this very thread, but once a colleague told me that one time you'll pick your child up to give them a cuddle, and although you won't realise it at the time, it'll be the last time you'll ever do it.

I get something in my eye whenever I think about that.

Wee one had her first lot of immunisations today. Her cry when she was being injected was comfortably one of the worst things I've ever heard in my life. Real lump in my throat watery eyed moment. I always thought I'd be quite tough in those situations but by f**k I was taken aback. I know it wasn't doing her any harm but considering she's such a content wee soul it was pretty shocking for me to see her in such a state.

I'm now a soppy dad it would appear!

Bump!

Swarley Jnr No2, aka Alexander Ryan, arrived at 01:22 on 4th December. Weighing in at 3.72kgs he was a bit lighter than his older sister. :thumsup2

The Wife started to feel a bit of cramping at 6pm on Wednesday, continued through the night but too infrequent to be classed as proper contractions (her words not mine).

I got woken up at midnight to be told that we had to go to the hospital NOW. Contractions in full swing now and coming fast. I wake up Swarley Jnr No1 and drop her off at a nearby friend's house. Race home to pick up wife and head to hospital. I think we arrived there about 12:30, they called the OB at about 1 and Baby had arrived by 1:22. No pissing about here!

Now the fun begins, it's been three years since we've had to swaddle etc. I cannot remember what to do!


Just over 2 years ago. Frack!

I remember that, the look I got was why are you just standing there? Stop them!

Wee one is loaded with the cold and it is absolutely heart breaking to see her cough, choke and splutter whilst being able to do the square root of f**k all about it. 

I've spent many hours in a steam filled bathroom. Not much else you can do.

When my daughter got her jags she was tremendous, never made a sound but as soon as she was jagged she stared absolute daggers at the nurse. I'm pretty sure she'd have booted her in the pie if she could've.
So proud!

It was a sad day all round when I first realised I needed to stop carrying the wean around on my shoulders. Was one of his favourite things.

Thankfully I can still flip him upside-down with one hand and tickle him with the other. He'll be 11 next year, so hopefully he grows out of it before he realises his old man has muscles like knots on a midge's penis.

I love it when Ben raises his arms up when he wants up,our daughter has kittens when I throw him up and catch him.She must have been told about my goalkeeping skills.

Can't imagine there being a day I don't pick them up. Could be some embarrassing 18th birthday parties.

My eldest will be 18 next week and is about 5'10 so I can't fling her in the air as I did when she was 2 or 3.  Still my wee lassie, though.
