Made this for Digi Dare #322
Lifted from a paper layout by Ali Edwards
My son was born in Dec., so this is also his month to month progress
The journaling reads -
Jan - Private parts chewed out but the mom crying and convinced that she only wants to feed her baby 'the natural' way
Feb - Its about burps and farts in those early months and hating a new five letter word - COLIC!
March - Waking up a 3am in the morning after sleepless nights and absolutely loving to play with an energetic two month old just kicking his legs for the first time
April - Its about waking at 2am (willingly!) to soothe your child, and then staying awake the whole night, WAITING for him to wake up...the first night he slleeps through
May - Its about taking care of his appearance more than yours...oh for that perfect shot!
June -His laughs making you happy and his cries making you sad....life pretty much revolves around him
July - Its about agreeing to baby led wean when you know that every spare minute will be spent cleaning the baby...the floor....the baby....the floor....and yep! at times, the ceiling too!
August - Trying for two hours to make the lil chap sleep and damn! missing him as soon as you hear the first soft snore
September - Its about being moved and bringing on the waterworks when you are feeding him on a normal day (you think!) and he picks up a bite from the plate to feed you back!
October - Its about learning new hobbies like photography and scrapbooking, in your sleep deprived state, in order to capture the everyday, in little time capsules
November - Its about standing sobbing outside the daycare, waiting for him to settle and then still sobbing when he settles and now forgets to wave Mumma goodbye
Dec - Its about uncontrolled overwhelming emotions, the ones you didnt know you had
