A Little Of Life Lately.

We don't do busy round here at the moment.  We do relaxing inside, away from the unbearable sticky heat of the sun.  We do mornings full of giggles and quiet afternoon naps.  It's a blessing really, one I should be more thankful for, even though I'm half-desperate for the lull to end.  I love the peaceful days but I'm also rather fond of the busy ones, especially when they involve fun outings and not sweating as soon as I walk out of the door.

One thing I am especially happy about is the butt-load of reading I've been doing.  S got me a Kindle for my birthday and, while I do consider myself a bit of a book purist, (I mean, there's nothing like reading an actual book, is there?) I cannot fault e-reading.  The sheer number of books available at my fingertips is seriously staggering and there are so many freebies to browse I don't have to worry about my bank balance.  I've easily read more in the last month than I have in the past six and that makes me happy.

I have about 60,000 pictures just like this on my phone.  V has officially mastered the art of the reverse-Myspace-selfie.  She loves to play with the camera and I love looking through all the weird, blurry, chubby pictures she takes of herself and the ceiling.  I'll admit sometimes it weirds me out that V will grow up surrounded by technology.  But I do adore her photographs.  Snap on, little one!

I've also relaxed a little lately when it comes to V and food.  Okay, so we all know that when a bub is learning how to eat, mess will ensue.  I was prepared for mess, just not the level of mess V creates!  Food will go everywhere and this little miss doesn't like being washed.  I was holding back a bit with giving her messy foods because she hated being cleaned up so much but now I give her all sorts and dunk her in the bath afterwards.  Hates being washed, loves the bath.  Go figure!  It means this messy monster is trying so much more in terms of food variety and I've got peace of mind knowing she's enjoying herself during her meal and after it too!

A little of our lives lately.  Some reading, some pictures, a whole bunch of food.  Grubby hands and smiling faces.  It feels pretty good to be where we are right now.

Love, K.
