My contribution for this weeks The Gallery over at Sticky Fingers is this portrait I took of my husband and son yesterday. My poor husband has recently been discharged from 2 weeks in hospital where he underwent an emergency operation for an abcess in his bowel. He’s recovering well but it’s been hard for him…
Month: April 2010
Clean washing
Who would have thought a 6-week old could make so much mess? In a typical day Edward seems to go through at least one clothes change, 8 muslins, 3 bibs and a mattress fitted sheet. We also learnt today that certain brands of bib melt in the tumble drier. Oops. Life has calmed down enough…
Good news
Yay, my husband was finally discharged from hospital this afternoon. After 31 trips to visit him (often with poor little Edward in tow) I think we are all relieved he has been allowed to recuperate at home.
Catching up
I meant to photograph Edward every day but funnily enough sleep deprivation, dirty nappies and lack of time have prevented me. I’ve brought together some of my favourite photographs into mosaics which I will aim to continue uploading every week/month for as long as possible: Week 1 Week 2Week 3 Week 4 Week 5
Taggies
Taggies are cute comforters for babies, often made from two different fabrics and edged with ribbons. Edward received a lovely taggie from Claire and at 5 weeks he is very into holding, grabbing and pulling, so this was a perfect gift. (This isn’t a great photo of him in action – but doesn’t he look…
Pincushion swap
Today I received an exciting parcel from Megan at Maximum Rabbit Designs who was my partner in Claire’s Pincushion Swap. Megan likes buttons, felt and all things vintage as much as I do 🙂 The parcel was beautifully contained in a round box, decorated with button stamps and plenty of space for a photograph –…
Day 33
Edward has been busy learning new tricks. These include spitting gripe water back at mummy, stretching, smiling, grabbing, coughing and scratching (unintentionally I hope!). I’m amazed how quickly he is changing and sad that my husband is missing out on these little things.Our neighbour rang up this morning to say our cat had returned. He…
Day 32
Today we had our first picnic with some friends who had come over to visit daddy in hospital. The weather has been amazing since we’ve been on the Isle of Wight and it has been lovely to get out and about everyday. This was followed by our first visit to a farm when we stopped…
Day 30
Here’s a picture of Edward looking cute in his first bib. I’m not quite sure why it has taken me four weeks to use a bib, I suppose muslins are just too easy to pick up and mop up spills. Yesterday was also the first time we wore socks and the first time we tried…
