Hello, it’s 21st November. I’m going to quickly try to write this blog post while T and B are having a nap…
#HurrahWeFinallyManagedToDoAnotherFamilyPortraitShoot
I did plan to do it last weekend, but it never happened.
I got a bit stressed today thinking it would not happen again, but we did it, and Tiago said it was nice to just take pictures and not think about much else.
#ThisPhotoCouldHaveBeenTakenInLiverpoolAsItIsJustUsAgainstAPlainWall
Classic.
(Though in Liverpool often the pictures were quite blue due to the UV covering we had on the windows – now they seem quite red.)
#TiagoInstinctivelySatWithBOnTheExerciseBallSoIThoughtIWouldJustInsertMyselfIntoThePicture
They were lying on the bed originally, but the light was fading so I thought we should stand against the wall in my ‘studio’. This seemed nicer though.
#IFoundTheBallWhileUnpackingAndThoughtIWouldInflateIt #IPumpedItUpInTheHallwayThoughAndItWasTooBigToGetThroughTheDoorway #SoIHadToLetSomeAirOutAndAmYetToFullyInflateItAgain
An exciting story.
#BHasQuiteEasilyTransitionedTo3NapsADayInsteadOf4ThisWeek
Well her naps have been all over the place. The app I use to keep track of things thinks she is still on 5 naps a day, but I was confused the other day as I do not remember dropping it to 4. I guess it just happened though when I moved her to the 1 hour 30, 1.45 x 2, 2 x 2 (wake window) schedule.
Now it is more 2 hours, then 3 x 2.5ish.
#ThoughSheIsNotSleepingThroughTheNightAtTheMoment #WhichMayBeDueToTheTransitionOrTeethingOrFeedingOrAnythingAndEverythingIGuess
It’s hard to tell why…
#YesterdayIThoughtThatBWasImitatingGivingMeAKissOnTheCheek
I say imitating as she was not actually giving me a kiss – more just putting her face against mine with her mouth open.
#ButIThinkSheWasActuallyJustTryingToTeethOnMe
Lovely.
#WeHaveSomeBabyRiceToGiveHerWhichIPlannedToStartHerWithThisWeekend #TiagoWasWatchingATVShowAboutKidsAndFussyEatingTheOtherDay #WeWantHerToHavePositiveExperiencesAroundFoodSoIThinkWeWillStartWeaningWhenWeAreLessStressed
I said we were going to start at 6 months, but I think it would not hurt to try a bit earlier. However, I think we need to be completely relaxed when we do otherwise I think it will not be such a great experience for B. Perhaps next weekend?
#MovingIntoSomeoneElsesHouseHasBeenABitOfAShock
I feel like I should not talk about certain things, so I’ll leave it at that.
(4th December – Things are fine now.)
#BWantedToDrinkFromMyWaterBottleTheOtherDaySoSheHasACupWithWaterInItNow
I usually drink from a water bottle instead of a glass as I get worried that it will get knocked over, so B was trying to grab it with her mouth wide open. I went to give her some, but I thought that maybe it wasn’t that safe. So now she has a sippy cup.
#IThinkSheWasHopingThatItWouldBeFullOfMilkThoughSoSheSeemsDisappointed
I think she is actually just teething on it more than anything else.
#WithBHavingOneLessNapADayMyTimeForMyselfHasBeenReduced #IShouldStartTakingHerForWalksDuringHerAwakeTimeAndJustTalkToHerAboutWhatWeSeeOutside
I imagine us sitting on a bench with her staring up at the trees. Maybe then some people might talk to us? I sound desperate to talk to people… My sister is sending her a pram suit, so once we get that then maybe I can try her on the local swings too.
#ThenICanUseHerNapTimesToDoChoresAndABitOfWork
Fingers crossed.
#ItSeemsToRainDuringMostOfHerWalksAtTheMomentButIStillGoOutAnyways
I guess now isn’t the time to be sitting on benches and discovering playgrounds, but we can try. There are always some nicer days…
#TheOtherDayIReallyNeededANapButISpentBsNapTimeLookingForPlayAndStayGroups
I just lay in bed intending to have a nap, but felt like I needed to find a group. At the moment I like the idea of classes or a group, but I like the idea of going somewhere and just talking and chilling a bit.
#TheyAllSeemToBeClosedUntilNextYear
Great.
#BOnlyHadAShortNapSoIFeltMoreTiredAndABitDeflated
I was hoping she would sleep for an hour, but she had half an hour.
#IDoFeelABitMorePositiveInSomeWaysThough
I think I just realise how lucky we are, so I shouldn’t be so darn negative all the time. It’s boring to whine so much.
#IJustNeedToGetBackToDoingToDoListsAndTryToPlanMyDaysBetter
I used to write to do lists, but I haven’t lately. Now that I have a desk to work at and I’ve found a notepad and pen I guess it is easier to start again.
#MySpaceToWorkInIsNotPerfectAsTheCeilingIsNotThatHighAndItSlopesInPlaces #ButItWillDoAndIJustNeedToMoveThingsAroundMore
It is more than I thought I would have really, so that is good. My one concern about moving was where would I make work.
#HopefullyIWillSeeACoupleOfFriendsIndividuallyForWalksThisWeek
That would be nice. I’ve only seen family since moving, which is lovely of course, but it’ll be great to see other people too.
#AndIAmYetToMakeDanceVideosHereSoHopefullyIWillTomorrow
Fingers crossed. Hopefully I will be inserting a video below of new ones…
(4th December – I’ve managed to make 5 videos over 2 sessions so far. That’s better than nothing!
Here’s one…
