We’re coming to the end of a week spent in Devon and Cornwall. It has been quite an experiencing holidaying with an 11 week old! However, we managed to have a great time and visited Lanhydrock, a monkey sanctuary and the Eden Project, not to mention the picturesque seaside villages of Looe and Polperro. Here…

Dummy or not?
A couple of weeks ago I went to Mothercare to purchase a dummy clip. I know that people are divided on the issue of whether to give a child a dummy but we find it useful to help settle Edward at night. We are only planning on using it until Edward is 3 months old….
The Gallery: a portrait
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…
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…
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…
