Feet

Currently Jay and Naomi have a cold. Fortunately I seem to have got away without catching it so far! Anyhow, the little one has a proper blocked up nose - it's heartbreaking seeing her sniffing away and getting upset about it as we can't tell her what the problem is. She does however continue to grow and is starting to really look at things now; you can see her following bright objects with her eyes and the other night her dummy fell out and she was peering at it so hard I thought it was going to climb back into her mouth itself...

One of the things we wanted to keep track of is just how tiny she is just now. In the hospital there were adverts for companies who would take imprints of your baby's feet and frame them for you. Of course - to anyone from our corner of Scotland the idea of paying someone to do that is just one step too far, so the other night just before bath time we took some purple paper and white paint and did it ourselves. Here's the results:


Step 1: apply paint...

Step 2: apply paper...


Step 3: observe results...

Just got to put them in a frame or baby book of some sort now.

PS - still more presents arriving! Thank you all for being so generous. We are starting to send propoer thank you letters but it's taking a while...

  1. Awesome! It looks like you've made a lot less of a mess than when we did that with Duncan's feet... I hope Jay and Naomi feel better soon and that Sandy stays clear of catching the cold!
