Tiny Dancer: A Year in Pictures

19 December 2006 13 Comments

Wow! What's that?

Mummy: This photo looks just like one of me when I was a baby, ask me, and I’ll show you.

Yes! Got the bed to myself at last.

Mummy: The competitive streak is in you, even if it is only winning some bed space.

I'm not reading if you keep staring!

Mummy: You’re around 4 months old here, I chose this picture because the expression on your face is so grown up.

Look at that smile

Mummy: A sneaky little smile lets me know that you were happy to be here.

That was funny Daddy

Mummy: Daddy gets the biggest smiles when you’re playing your silly games.

Mum, this isn't going to stain is it?

Mummy: We did lots of activities, I don’t know if you enjoyed them, but we enjoyed doing them with you.

Cheeky Chumpy (wumpy doo daa)

Mummy: You loved when I was taking photos of you, you’re around 6 or 7 months here.

Pretty Girl

Mummy:
This outfit was pretty girly for you, we favoured combats usually. (I’m wondering what you will be wearing if and when you ever read this)

Erin on her Belly

Mummy: Having fun on your belly, this was one of the first times you rolled over, but you didn’t really like being on your front much.

I love you!

Mummy: I think you looked perfect in this photo :)

So what do they taste like?

Mummy: We did a lot of colouring together but I used to get quite frustrated that all you wanted to do was eat the crayons rather than colour nice pictures!

Smiles before bed

Mummy: You’re growing up so fast, but at bedtime you still look like our little baby.

Tub and a Ball

Mummy: Playing in the water, moments after this you tipped the whole tub over yourself!

So Erin, if blogging isn’t too historic (and I remembered to renew my domain name!) you are reading this, I’m not sure how old you are but I hoped you enjoyed reading a little bit about some of our thoughts and feelings during your first year. I don’t think I included anything embarassing and if I did – I’m sorry.

Why Tiny Dancer? In hospital, the night before having you, for some reason it was the only song that was keeping me (and you) calm :) (Tiny Dancer by Elton John)

With Love Mummy & Daddy (Daddy doesn’t ‘do’ blogging, but this was his idea!)
