Out on a whim...: January 2009

Pretty in Pink

We love Mack in pink...why shouldn't boys wear it? He has started a love affair with his feet too...

Developments

Mack has recently discovered hos hands. He is also picking things up and moving them towards his mouth. Auntie Claerwen - what a great idea sending this retro toy - he loves it! xxx

Out and about

We met up with Steve and Hayley who take a great photo!

Mum and Dad

It is very difficult to get a good picture of Thom and I together. The Newtons have a genetic tendency to close their eyes in photos and as you can see it is difficult to get us both in focus at the same time. I had been woken up every two hours the night before so was looking pretty rough around the eyes but had just had my hair done which is why it looks unusually coiffured (spelling?). I like Thom's new hat

Fan Club

Mack has a growing legion of fans and one of his biggest is Neil. He loves to watch Neil pull funny faces and make crazy noises, and to be honest, so do I!

Several women have picked up Mack and suddenly become all broody. Here is 'stop at one' Ellie thinking about how lovely it would be to breastfeed again.

Christmas 2008

Mack's first Christmas wasn't freezing or white but it was pretty chilly. Unfortunately 80% of the family (including Thom) went down with various bugs during the break so it wasn't as jolly as it could have been. Poor Thom had been looking forward to his time off work and as soon as he stopped work he got ill and he is only just beginning to feel normal again - in time for work...Not fair!

Christmas morning and a stocking from Neil stuffed with groovy goodies - some fab clothes and a Beddy Beddy (stuffed toy filled with lavender and wheat that you can heat up).
