A Year in Pictures: Week 2

I have a feeling it's going to get tough trying to find things to photograph later in the year, but I did OK for week 2...

Saturday 8 January


Daisy and her friends went to Lily's first birthday party today, and we attempted to get a photo of them all together. Daisy was overdue a nap and was quite cranky, but we still managed to get a couple of shots before she stopped co-operating. From left to right we have: William, nearly 5 weeks old; Robert, 3 days older than William but 5 weeks premature when he was born; Dougie, nearly 4 months; Daisy, 4.5 months; and Lily, 1 year and 1 day.


Sunday 9 January


A friend gave us this bouncer and Daisy loves it! She doesn't actually bounce yet, as her feet only just touch the floor, but this is officially her new favourite thing.


Monday 10 January


Daisy doesn't just drop off to sleep during the day. She usually needs to be in the car, so I tend to schedule my trips to the shops etc around nap times. But I refuse to take her out in the car purely so she'll go to sleep, so if I don't need to go out, this is what we do instead - put her next to the hob with the extractor fan on full power.


Tuesday 11 January


All legal and above board! Daisy's passport arrived in the post today, which I thought was mighty quick as I only submitted the application last Wednesday. I was getting a little worried that it might not come back in time for our trip to Florida on 5 Feb, especially when the woman at the Post Office said it could take around 3 weeks to come back, which I thought was cutting it a bit fine. But in the end there was nothing to worry about. 24 days and counting till we see Annabelle & Corgan (and Keri & Keith of course)!


Wednesday 12 January


Someone's found her thumb :-). I wasn't keen on the idea of her sucking her thumb but as she won't take a dummy (I was even less keen on this too), at least she can self-soothe now.


Thursday 13 January


Non-maternity jeans! Granted, they're men's, but they are quite big - round the waist as well as the length and at the knees - and they'll have to do until I can fit into my regular jeans. I refuse to go out and buy another pair when I have 9 or 10 perfectly good pairs waiting to be worn.


Friday 14 January


Nanna sent Daisy a present. Because, you know, she doesn't have enough clothes :).
