Baby Photos

These photos were taken by a mommy friend of mine who is starting her own photography business...K. Shiell Photography She's an amazing photographer and a wonderful person. I know she's going to do very well! Here are a few newborn photos she took of Scarlet Enjoy

Day 16 - Yummy Eeyore

You put anything near a baby's mouth and they'll suck on it. Hell, even my 2 1/2 year old puts everything in his freakin' mouth. I feel like I'm constantly saying, "Declan, take that out of your mouth!"
Anyway, here are a couple photos of Scarlet sucking on Eeyore, the toy Declan picked out for her for Christmas.
Declan tried to take it away but realized it was soaking wet with Scarlet goober so he gave it right back...LOL

Day 15 - Funny Faces

Declan and daddy have been perfecting their funny faces in the past few weeks. This is Declan's favourite at the moment. He holds it for as long as possible and then starts giggling. Not very fierce!

Day 14 - Ring Sling

Here are a couple crappy photos of my newest baby wearing apparatus. I made this one myself (still need to hem the one end) and I'm still trying to figure it how to use it. I've mastered the Wrap, Mei Tai and Ergo but for some reason this one is taking a little more time to learn how to thread properly. I think it might have to do with the weight of the fabric. I think I'll have to get my butt to a baby wearing meeting sometime soon.
I certainly didn't need to make a ring sling to add to my "not so tiny" baby wearing collection but what's a girl to do?! LOL

Day 13 - It Finally Fits!!

Scarlet received this beautiful outfit from a good friend who lives in England just weeks after she was born. I've tried it on her a few times and up until today, the skirt and tights have been too big. Well, it fits now!! LOVE the outfit! I wish we had a NEXT store in Canada. Thanks, Nic! xxoo

Day 12 - Fairy Nursery

I've been dragging my butt with finishing the nursery. Scarlet's still on our room so I haven't felt the rush to get it all done. I've finally decided that I should just bite the bullet and get it done so that when we decide to make the transition I won't have anything left to do.
The crib, glider, change table etc are all ready to go but I still need to finish decorating. I haven't been able to find a plain white bedskirt to dye to match the crib quilt I made so I think I'm going to have to sew one..........I'm not looking forward to that!
I spray painted the flowers raspberry pink, put up the vinyl lettering and more fairies. We went to Ikea today and bought a new bookcase as well as a shelf. Hopefully we'll get those up tomorrow.

Day 11 - Mr. Mom

Tonight right before bedtime, right after I had changed Declan's diaper, he insisted the Scarlet's CPK had a poopy bum and needed a diaper change too.
I played along an put a blanket on the floor for him to use as a change pad. He struggled to get her clothes off so I helped him out. He took off her poopy diaper and said, "it's dirty", and wanted to throw it in the garbage. I told him that I would take care of it (because it wasn't poopy!) and put it on the change table. He got really upset and demanded it back so he could throw it in the garbage. I gave in and let him throw it out.
Next he needed a wipe............Silly me, I forgot to give him a wipe to clean the poop off her bum! He did a wonderful and very thorough job cleaning her butt crack. It was squeaky clean by the time he finished.
Next came the diaper and then the clothes.
Declan's quite the little Mr. Mom. As soon as he perfects his diapering skills I'll move him on to changing Scarlet for me ;)
