Mamatography Photo Project : Week 2

Pin It

Luschka from Diary of a First Child is hosting a fabulous 366 photo-a-day challenge where I get to document our day-to-day life, as well as Jesse's development.

I am simply loving this challenge, and am so excited to share our week with you again.

Jesse and I had a relaxed morning and decided to take a walk up the hill into town to visit my dad at his workshop. Here is Jesse having great fun playing with a bunch of tools on the workshop floor... those socks did come clean amazingly enough! :)

On Friday I had a hand sewing project that was driving me nuts, I couldn't get my blanket stitch to look neat and so I spent the morning at my grandmothers house being tutored on how to do it correctly. Jesse spent the morning trashing her small cottage. On our way home we walked through town and I bought Jess a new pair of shoes - his first real pair (compared to soft slippers). Here he is trying them on, he thought they were very smart and proceeded to walk around in circles for us showing them off.

I made such a delicious raw chocolate pudding which is 100% healthy and sugar free, and absolutely delicious. Here's how to make it, blend : 3 bananas, 3 fresh dates, 4 tbsp coconut cream or milk, 2 tsp raw maca root powder and 3 tsp raw cacao powder... Yum!

Jesse has always had beautiful hair, right up from the day he was born it has been long and thick. However, over his first few months he experienced breakage from rubbing his head whilst lying on his back, sitting in his car chair etc. I have tried before to even it out, without chopping too much off. This Sunday I again gave him a trim hoping to even it out a bit more. Here is a photo of his beautiful curls.

I dropped my camera :( While I try to claim from insurance I am using my fathers camera and fear my photos are a bit blurry as I try to work out how to use it. Monday was a beautiful hot day. We decided to have a swim late in the afternoon. Jesse loves to swim and is very confident in the water, perhaps too confident. I will need to send him to lessons soon I think. Here he is climbing up the water feature, my mom is just beside him although you cant see her in the photo.

On Tuesday we went to my aunts for tea so that Jess could spend the morning with my cousins before they had to go back to school. They are a bit older and dote on him, sharing all their old toys and patiently throwing balls for him. But, because of our visit Jess missed his morning nap, he unfortunately fell asleep in the car and then woke up when we got home. The car trip was only 10 minutes long, and he refused to go back to sleep. He spent the rest of the day a little spaced out, although not miserable. At one point he had been very quiet for quite some time and when I checked on him he was standing at the door in my parents bedroom watching the chickens outside. He did this for more than 30 minutes. I snuck up on him and took this photo:

Today was stinking hot, but Jess insisted on playing outside. He spent most of the day playing on the shaded verandah with the dogs while I sat in front of a fan. Later in the afternoon we got into the pool. One of Jess's favourite things to do is sweep, I desperately need to find him a child's size broom. Here he is sweeping outside, and yes, this child hardly ever wears clothes.
