Braai revelry

Image
By Lucky
My initial eagerness to capture each moment blured slightly as I've been swept from one thing to the next, but as it's my last day at work tomorrow I thought I better catch up before the onslaught of farewells on the weekend (I've got 4 planned, and am quite proud of it!)
With the idea being to put up photo's to ease my melancholy on mud island I guess I'd better get started... Badget had a braai at her house. With her great new garden furniture and a panoramic view that stretches from Lion's head, past his bum and over the harbour (the Waterfront is insignificant, we're talking the WHOLE bay) and of course the larger part of Cape Town's supply of wine we were all set to have a great time!

Enjoying a little coin action...

Badgets kitchen table just lends itself to a quiet game of coinage, where nothing gets out of hand... The braai was great, eating at 22:00 just gets the juices going - the wine flows and the peeping toms come out to play!


Aiding and abetting...

Meebs decided that if you can't beet 'em, join them! After catching some naughty boys paying particular attention to the window that was strategically located above the bathroom she decided to get involved. Not content with the window, things (people) were moved to a higher level.

Hey you!

Think twice before heading for this loo, the toilet police are watching you.

The night continued with a little limbo and its best left to that!

Teething troubles

By Lucky
You get a whole nights sleep, you have a night out with the NCT gals, not every nappy is a poo, you begin to “settle” into a routine… And then teething!  It slobber-slaps you in the face and turns everything upside down! My super-salivating baby just wants to shove everything her mouth. She’s learnt to suck her thumb and I’m delighted, because she can’t throw it out her cot. But it’s completely thrown any semblance of a schedule out of sync! She’s not feeding properly and is waking up at night again. Her naps are all over the show. She’s clearly uncomfortable and that breaks my heart! And this is, apparently, just the beginning of the teething process!!! Send help / grandparents! We’ve got teething toys stashed throughout the house, including the freezer. So far the Matchstick Monkey Dinosaur has been a hit (just don’t try steaming the container, it will melt!)  What are your top teething tips? Lucky x Ps. That’s my milk drunk Bug

Mad naps

By Lucky
After vomming/ salivating on three outfits by 06:50 this morning, I tried to cajole Bug into her early morning nap. This is the nap between her first waking up and 8am feed. And she really needs it!  As we were watching the Olympics in our bedroom, I suggested she nap on our bed, snuggled next to me. While I watch the kayak/ canoes.  But no, she had other plans. Apparently they were for me to get up. And for her to fall asleep on my shoulder in a really awkward fashion. I had to perfect the counterbalance cuddle. All while putting the laundry on, making breakfast (not quite eating it), sterilising bottles and pump accoutrements, making the coffee and re-packing her changing bag.  But she slept, and I guess I’ll take that!

Marking milestones

By Lucky
When Bug was born, well a month or so after, I bought some cards to mark her milestones. Who knew that I should have bought them when I was preggo? So we missed a few photos… But now I find myself attempting to dressing her up for her milestones, only for her to accessorise them with accoutrements such as vomit! Then I jump around, cajoling her into smiling, while hopefully the camera is in focus and I actually press the snap button.  Those photos are all well and good. But I want some real-life photos and babies aren’t renown for their on-cue performances! So how do you actually get that photo of her first tooth?!?  That’s one of the current milestones we’re trying to mark. And she’s not particularly given to opening her mouth wide, unless it’s to cry loudly! I may not be parent of the year, but I’m not about to start taking photos of her mouth while she cries! So, it’ll just have to wait until she smiles for a prolonged period, while I conveniently have the camera to hand! C...
