Ready for a fight

Today, Ellie had her one month appointment at the paediatrician, but as she was sitting in the car seat waiting for the doctor to come in, she looked like she was ready to start a fight!

Great to be a Florida Gator

Week 3 Photo Roundup

This week, Ellie has been getting more confident with her movement, her head control is getting better, her hair is getting longer and she’s starting to get some breast-fed-fat-rolls.

Hands-free Dad

Ellie has wanted to be a bit closer to us, so instead of just holding her and immobilising myself all day long, I took out her carrier, the Baby K’Tan, and went hands-free. It’s fantastic: she’s close, which we both like and I can get stuff done. Win-win.

Ellie’s passport photos

Thanks to Uncle Andy and Aunty Sam, I think we’ve now found the perfect outfit for Ellie’s passport photos. The trouble now is trying to figure out how to get her to wear two outfits at once…
