I have never really taken part in any blog challenges, but when I saw Mamatography I thought I would break that trend and have a go. The idea is to take a photo each day and share them once a week.
Well, I haven't started on a very good foot as I have forgotten to take a photo on several occasions and lost the post I was trying to write yesterday amid soothing a grumpy baby! But here it is, just a day late and with photos for at least half the days this year...
Sunday 1st January
WHOOPS! How could I forget the very first day? Let's blame 'baby brain'.
Monday 2nd January
Daddy had to work over New Year but had today off, so we bundled up against the cold and decided to go for a walk.
Unfortunately the wind was ridiculously strong and Oscar got a blast in the face as we got hime out the car. Oh my, my boy can scream! It took us half an hour to calm him down again and so our walk got cancelled. Nevermind, hey?
Tuesday 3rd January
WHOOPS! I can't even remember what I did on the 3rd, but I know I have no photos from that day. I think getting into this habit is going to take longer than I thought. But I shall get there...
Wednesday 4th January
On Wednesday Aunty Debbie came to help me fill in my tax return. We had been meaning to do this for months but it kept getting cancelled, first because I was so tired by the end of my pregnancy, then because I was beyond exhausted during Oscar's colicky stage.
I decided that the best way to thank my sister for her help was to make sure Oscar was as adorable as ever, so the elephant dungarees came out! Good job too, as I had thought they were still too big for him but thanks to yet another sudden growth they are almost too small.
Thursday 5th January
WHOOPS! Can you see a pattern yet?
Friday 6th January
Daddy had the weekend off so we decided to travel to see family once he got home from work on Friday. By the time we reached our home for the weekend we were all rather tired, so we got out the Tummy Tub and let Oscar chill out in front of the fire for a little while.
Saturday 7th January
We had a hectic Saturday and Oscar was rather puzzled by it all, so he really enjoyed resting in his swing and listening to Paps singing to him. He loves anyone singing, but as neither Tim nor myself pay an instrument this was the first time he had heard a guitar being played and it completely mesmerized him.
I also have to include this photo taken before bed Saturday night because I just love it. Many of our photos of Oscar are blurry and out of focus as he is always on the move. And I love the blurriness of photos like these as they remind me just how active he is. And why delete a smile like that just because it isn't perfectly clear?
Sunday 8th January
Sunday was by far the quietest day of the weekend, despite having to travel home again. Between all the running around to see people I did manage to find a few moments to enjoy a hot drink in peace and I don't think I have ever relished in the sheer joy of doing so before. What a treat!
Monday 9th January
When we got home on Sunday we found a delivery note to say that some of our post had been too large to fit through the letter box. So we headed off to the post office Monday afternoon and picked up the first part of a correspondence course I have just started. Oscar was kind enough to carry it back from the car for me.
Tuesday 10th January
On Tuesday Oscar had his latest lot of jabs, so he had a pyjama day while mummy and daddy made a start on switching the living room and dining room around as our current dining room is bigger, warmer, quieter and closer to the kitchen than the living room, making it a much better place to spend our days now we have Oscar.
This was take as Oscar chilled on the floor, watching as daddy unhooked the tv unit ready for the move.
Wednesday 11th January
WHOOPS! You'd have thought I would manage to take a photo on the day of the photo share, wouldn't you? Well it wasn't so much that I forgot, rather a case of Oscar being really unsettled after his jabs and not letting anyone put him down for more than 10 minutes at a time for the entire day and night. Which is why the post is a day late and yesterday's photo got forgotten in preference of trying to soothe him.
So, until next Wednesday, when I hope to have more photos to share with you all.
