Classic B.
#ICanSeeHowThePoseGotTheNameNow
I could kind of see how it did before, but having a baby has made it very clear.
#SheHasBeenDoingThisForAWhileButMyPlanOfCopyingHerHasBeenNeglectedForAWhile
I have a list of shoot ideas, but actually this idea is not as old as I thought – I added it on 22nd October.

Well, I know that during her awake times I am feeding her, changing her and other things, but still it leaves a lot of play time.
#IPutHerForwardFacingInHerCarrierForTheFirstTime
The day before Tiago had taken her out facing him.
#SheIsOldEnoughNowAndIFiguredItMightBeBetterForLettingHerSeeThings
Just another one of those things that seems scary to do, but once you do it it seems easy. I’ll just have to see if I can higher her up anymore.
#FirstITookHerOutInTheMorningAndALotOfPeopleSaidGoodMorningToUsWhichWasReallyNice
At one point I think I was having a competition with myself to see how many I could get to say good morning to me or back to me.
#SheJustSeemedToCheerSomePeopleUpAndWeStoppedToTalkToAYoungGirlAndHerFamilyWhoHadPointedAtHer
With her being on me it’s a lot easier to move out of the way of people too if paths are too narrow.
#IWalkedForABitTooLongAndBFellAsleep
So when I got home and wanted her to have a nap, she took longer to fall asleep than usual.
#NextITookHerOutInTheAfternoonButWeDidNotMakeItSoFar #ThereWereALotOfSchoolKidsAroundWhichFreaksMeOutALittleBitSoNextTimeWeNeedToBeEarlier
It just gets a bit busy when all the kids are walking home from school and they seem to hang around more than I thought they would. I think they all get let out at different times too so when one lot seems to clear, a new lot soon appears.
#IHadPutSomeLittleBootsOnHerFeet #ButAfterGettingHomeTheSecondTimeICouldNotFindOneOfThem
Classic me. I thought it must have just fallen off when I lifted her out of her carrier, but I couldn’t see it.
#IWaitedForTiagoToFinishAWorkCallSoHeCouldWatchB #ThenIRetracedOurStepsAndFoundItNotSoFarAwayOnAPath
I was so proud of myself for finding it. I was worried as I had walked across a big patch of grass, which would have made it easier to find, but it had probably dropped just before I went onto it.
#SoINeedToBeCarefulAboutTheAmountOfTimeAndKeepAnEyeOnHerBoots
Shorter walks. Check boots. Got it.
#TheWeatherWasReallyNiceYesterdayButPuttingHerInTheCarrierMightNotBeAGreatPlanForEveryday
I need to get a rain cover for it…
#SheHasBeenWakingUpALotAtNightLatelyWhichIsMakingTAndIABitGrumpy
When she woke up for the last time at 6.30am it felt like it was 3am and I was like erghhhh.
#LastWeekSheWasStillBreastfeedingTwoOrThreeTimesADay
Great.
#ButNowSheReallyDoesNotWantToBreastfeedWhichIsABitOfAShame
I am a bit saddened by it.
#IThinkItProbablyHasALotToDoWithHerTeething
Yeah, it can’t be too comfortable at the moment. She has been teething for about a month, which doesn’t help.
#ThoughSometimesIAmTryingToGetHerToLatchOnAndSheJustTipsHerHeadBackAndLooksLonginglyAtAnEmptyBottleThatIForgotToMove
It’s probably nicer to teethe on.
#MyMumSaysThatSheWantedToBreastfeedMySistersAndIForLongerButWeStoppedBeingInterestedAround4Months
Maybe she’s more like me than she looks… (She looks more like Tiago.)
#TodayIMightJustTryFormulaFeedingHerForEveryFeedAndSeeIfThatHelpsWithHerSleep #IAlsoMightGiveHerSomeBabyRiceTodayButIFeelLikeISayThatEveryday
Between writing the hashtags and writing this blog post I did give her some. It went well. If I remember I’ll probably talk about it in my next blog post.
#IAmCurrentlySpendingALotOfMyFreeTimePlanningForAHashtagWorkshop #IAmNervousAboutItButIHopeThatItGoesWellAndThatPeopleEnjoyIt
Luckily I did a university lecture last week, so I am feeling a little less awkward about it. I really hope that people enjoy it.
I was going to post a link to the workshop, but by the time I post this it will have already happened. Wishing myself luck from the past and future…
