8+2. Big ol' picture post

Before Edie was born I really wanted to do something like this, a photo every day to watch development in extra slow progress, in a way, savouring every moment when they go much too fast in the first year.

I haven't managed to get a photo every single day, but looking at the dates on my camera I've been able to work out how old Edie would've been when a picture was taken. And late is never too late so here's how she's growing so far...

Day 1 and just minutes old, she looks so alert and wise and not at all troubled by the birth!

Day 2, looking more like a sleepy newborn. Here she is in her moses basket in the days before she took over our bed

Day 3 and on our bed

Day 5, waiting for the midwife to come and do the evil heel prick test

Day 7, looking like she has a giant leg under her pyjamas!

Day 10, back in the moses basket but only whilst changing the milky big bed!

Day 11, out of the bath and on to the boob


Day 13, eyes begin to open lots more

Day 15

Day 16

Day 17, still smaller than Kiki cat

Day 43, not looking impressed at the gap between pictures!

Day 44 with cousin Violet (5 months)

Day 47

Day 48

Day 49, stayin' up late

Day 50, early night

Day 51, crashed out with daddy

Day 52, why so serious?

Day 53

Day 60 - today, 2 minutes ago


I do intend to keep this up, I really really do!!
