My new favourite picture of Flora - at least for a little while. Girlfriend *is* pretty photogenic. :)
Yup, it's more pictures instead of words, but these pictures don't need much more explanation than what their captions provide.
Written content? Who does *that* anymore. It's all about pictures of Flora now. It's just easier to show the pictures than talk about them.*
Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.
We've been out and about - the mall, the library and more recently, a playgroup at the community centre. Soon, we'll be trying the pool on for size. Whenever I put Flora in her snowsuit, I tend to start laughing. Not in a mean way of course, although running to get the camera probably does add insult to the injury of putting on a snowsuit. She's so puffy and marshmallow-like in it. I'm not sure if she realizes I'm laughing at her yet.
We wished Auntie Kyla a happy birthday.
We hung out with Thomas.
We took some family pictures.
We made some silly faces.
Auntie Kyla gave Flora a bath.
Flora tried on Grampy's hat and played with his duck decoy.
And...Flora sat up on her own for the first time! She lasted about 20 seconds before she tipped back over, but it's a start. Note the major WTF look on her face.
*Written content will hopefully return soon. And maybe it won't even *be* about the kid.
We smiled (a little bit) for the camera:
We saw a really big Christmas tree:
And we showed everyone how much we like to rock:
We play this game together all the time.
Show us an adorable baby.
Ooh! I can do this one!
When my sister saw them on my Flickr page (she checks it every day to see if I've posted new pictures of Flora), she told me that there was a similar picture of my dad and I. I can't remember if I've seen it (I'm sure I have), but she told me that she wanted to group the two pictures together in a frame. Obviously, she is the scrapbooker of the family. I then remembered that I saw a similar picture with Sean and his dad (his dad isn't sleeping, but the premise is right), so maybe she should group all three if we can find all the pictures.
I must have stumbled on some classic baby picture pose, if we all have a picture like this. I wonder if there is a book of classic baby picture ideas that you can apply to your baby.
This is Sean feeding Flora for the first time. This picture was taken last night. We bought a breast pump on Saturday, and I think I've mostly gotten the hang of using it. I've only spilled a couple of times and gotten breastmilk in the motor once.
Flora took the bottle without issue, which really surprised me. I've heard so many horror stories about babies refusing bottles when they are breastfed and having to try a zillion different bottle/nipple combinations to get the bottle near their little mouths.
Let's hope this lasts - I plan to pump a bunch and have a stockpile on hand in the freezer. That way, I can leave the house on my own for longer than a couple of hours once in a while. I don't envision Sean taking over the night feedings any time soon - he rarely wakes up when the baby cries at night. However, if I ask him to help out at night (which I try not to do too often), he usually does without issue. I usually ask for help with the early morning feed - he changes her and brings her to me so I can feed her in bed. It's a nice family moment since all three of us are mostly asleep until it's time for Sean to get ready for work.
These pictures are from some tomfoolery Flora and I got into today. I swear, when her eyes get all googly, I think she is half-Muppet.
...just in time for bed. Maybe it was a delayed reaction to the flash.
When I didn't hear The Simpsons theme coming from the TV at 9PM, I knew something was wrong...
