217/365 The Giggler

Thumbnail image for 217/365 The Giggler

The smiling baby is giggling. I could listen to it all day. I might squeal sometimes when I hear it. And even the fact that I have been unsuccessful in getting said giggle on video or one of her bigger smiles on camera doesn’t take anything away from the awesomeness of the giggling. I read [...]

191/365 Day 8 – A Bad Habit

I’m running low on bad habits. I used to drink too much and smoke way too much. Good times. I’m one of those people who fancies they’ll pick up smoking again when they’re about 70. Yes. I am THAT addicted. Which is exactly why I can’t sneak even one cigarette. Pity. But I digress. I’m [...]

187/365 Day Four – Green

Green. This was a case of being paralysed by choice. Taken in the garden at my grandfather’s nursing home. Hide and seek is awesome, even if the toddler keeps giving away her position by giggling uncontrollably. I finally made it up there today to introduce Piper to her great grandfather. She was very impressed and [...]

184/365 Day 1 – Self Portrait

The next 30 days of the 365 project are part of White Peach Photography’s June photo challenge which I happened across thanks to Fat Mum Slim. I don’t do smiling self portraits. I’m just not capable. In fact, the only good smiling photos of me are the ones where I don’t realise I’m being photographed. [...]

183/365 The Matching Pair

You know you have good friends when they send you something as unbelievably freaking cute as this. Thank you Stacey who knew how taken I would be with matching adorableness. Upon opening this present, Riley told me exactly what we would do next, as only excited toddlers can: ‘I will put it on and Piper [...]

182/365 Find the Dinosaur

Also known as the most awesome game ever. In which you hide the dinosaur somewhere underneath your unsuspecting sister who is currently incapable of much movement and then pull up one arm, then another, then the legs, then maybe roll her over ‘just a little bit’ to find said dinosaur. Now, that’s entertaining. Possibly the [...]

181/365 Non-Independent Play

During the week I wouldn’t notice how much independent play Riley has. Because I’m constantly busy, she chooses to be involved or not. But it has been increasingly obvious on the weekend, when there is less busyness, that she really struggles with independent play. At times it seems impossible for her to even spend 5 [...]

180/365 Naps are Evil

I paid for this day sleep with a two hour delay in the toddler’s bedtime tonight. Which is odd given that she only napped for an hour. Which just goes to show you that as wonderful as naps seem at the time, they really are evil things. I might have bribed her with marshmallows to [...]

179/365 Play Time

Thanks to colicky baby turning into the happiest baby on the planet yesterday, we actually got some play time in. Apparently every time I catch the ball I ‘saved the day’, that’s the kind of recognition that I like for playing. I might have had to confiscate the same ball a few minutes later because [...]

178/365 Little Ray of Sunshine

I was up fairly late last night (or early morning) with a poor, distressed screaming baby. Not that you would know it from this photo, taken this morning. When colicky baby is gone and easiest baby on the planet is here. Trying to work it out makes my head hurt. Not that I’m complaining. That [...]
