Week 3

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Having a new baby in the house is a big adjustment for everyone. Having a new baby and a 3 year old is an even bigger adjustment. Almost daily I have to remind my daughter that the baby is not a toy and that she has to be gentle when trying to cuddle and kiss him. She does love him very much but doesn’t realize that her 34 pounds is a bit too heavy for his bouncer chair! Thank goodness there is a seatbelt in that thing because one day she’s going to bounce him right out of it!

I can almost see him flinging up in the air with me making the diving save to catch him before he hits the floor! All the more reason to always use the seatbelt provided!!!

52 weeks

This year I’ve decided to document my everyday life in pictures. I’ve committed myself to taking at least one picture per week to post and talk about. I just can’t commit to doing a picture per day with two children to care for!

I’m already behind on the posts so here it goes!

Week 1
This was my husband’s first week back to work after the baby was born. He was off for 3 weeks from Dec 15 to Jan 5. He just happened to be sick for 2.5 of those weeks which, of course, made me and my daughter become ill too. We both got colds and were exhausted all the time.

We managed through it and are much better now!

Week 2
This week the children allowed me to do a photo shoot with them. I thought it would be a good opportunity to use my remote and get me in some of the pictures too. It was way too cold to go outside so I spent the day in comfy pants! Those are the days I’m glad I don’t work full time!

A new addition!

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog.  I’ve been pretty busy with my newborn son who was born on December 18, 2008.  He weighed 9 lbs, 3 oz and was 20.5 inches long!  He is beautiful, and of course, my new favourite subject!

I did his newborn shoot when he was 2 weeks old.  I realized that day that it’s better to do newborn shoots within the first week because that is when they sleep the most.  My little guy kept waking up every time I moved him.  Fortunately it all worked out in the end!
