Day 73: The Alphabet: Day 24

X is for eXhausted!! So much for back to sleep - he's started sleeping this way the last few weeks and no matter how oftern we reposition him this is how we find him the next morning.

Day 70: The Alphabet: Day 21

U is for up in the air. Air Conor takes off,  destination - high chair for lunch! 

Day 65: The Alphabet: Day 16

P is for Peek-A-Boo

Day 61: The Alphabet: Day 12

L is for  - learning new skills. He doesn't last very long but he has finally started to sit up unaided!!! Ooh the excitement!

Day 56: The Alphabet: Day 7

G is for  - Grandpa!

Here's little scamp and one of his! I only had one grandpa, as the other died a few years before I was born. I was lucky enough not to lose my grandmothers until I was in my 20's by which time one was in her late 80's and the other had just turned 90. Conor still has all four of his grandparents and hopefully will for a long time.

Day 52: The Alphabet: Day 3

C - well C can only be for one thing - Conor! This is one of my favourite photos of him. It was taken the other day and I just love it!

Day 51: The Alphabet: Day 2

B is for  - Bathtime! A favourite time in this house. It's splash-central but only happy ones!

Day 49: Things about me - Day 7

Today it's five months since I became a mum -in fact I'm planning to publish this at 22.07 which will be exactly five months from his birth. It feels like five minutes! Tomorrow Eoin and I will be married 14 months. Yes, he arrived one day before we were 9 months married (He was 2.5 weeks early - scamp). I'm sure we'll live it down someday (maybe)!

Day 40: fun time!

It's Wednesday which means only one thing in this house - Gymboree time! Conor loves his class and I love learning lots of new songs for us to sing togather at home.  He maybe the only person in the world who thinks I'm a great singer.

Day 38: A rare weekday treat

Conor is usually in bed before Eoin arrives home now and so they really only see each other at weekends. Day 38 is Monday but since Eoin was home early (for a change) he got a chance to grab a few minutes with baba before bed time which they both enjoyed. Judging by the looks on their faces they would have preferred it to be just the two of them and not have me interupting with the camera (again!) :-)

Day 37: A new adventure

Looking a little tired but very cosy! Conor is growing out of his carry cot / pram attachment of his travel system so we decided to take down the buggy bit. Took it for it's maiden spin on Sunday and he seemed happy enough in it. Now to order the foot muff (I held off as I didn't expect him to be in it before the winter was over).

Day 36: Holding hands

Little man's tiny hands holding onto his Daddy's much bigger ones. And yet, in spite of the size difference, he has us both wrapped around his, oh so little, little finger

Day 27: Colours of the rainbow - Day 6

Indigo - Although slightly cheating this is as near to Indigo as I could get - a family shot from Conor's Christening in December

Day 26: Colours of the rainbow - Day 5

Blue (and gold)  - My darling son in his Tipp jersey. It's a good job I bought the 6-12 month size or he'ld have grown out of it before the league even started. He's really grown in the last 4 months - the first one was taken while we were still in hospital and the second one today ! There's 17 weeks in the difference to the day.

Day 21: Things I like - Day 7

My boys! Off on a big adventure to pick up the drycleaning. Conor is able to face out in his sling now, although as you can see he finds this a little confusing

Day 18: Things I like - Day 4

A peaceful, sleeping, baby. He's just the best - even when he's had a really grumpy day because his teeth are at him!

Day 12: Memories of childhood - Day 5

Being a big messer and it being ok to have food all over my face!

Day 2: Resolution 2: Have lots of family time

 The title probably says it all. Looking forward to a year of great adventures documented with lots of photos. A bed time story is a new tradition for Conor, hopefully it will start a love of reading that lasts a lifetime.

Day 1: Resolution 1 : Take more photos

Well if I'm going taking 365 unique shots I guess my first resolution has to be to take more photos. First picture had to be of my darling son. Going to retake this shot a few times during the year just to see if Conor or the hippo is growing faster!
