Baby B'Gosh

The good news is I have a new philosophy.

It involves taking pictures of the Goose (and her clothes) even when the the lighting isn't perfect, there isn't time to get the white backdrop out (particularly when it seems to have been mislaid), she won't stay still for 2 seconds and the background of the pictures isn't super (or even slightly) tidy.

 

Basically, I just need to take the pictures and worry about all the other stuff only when there's time.

Which there never is.

So what I'm saying is, I'll try and update more often if you excuse the drop off in picture quality.  At least until summer when I might occasionally see some daylight and we can go outside.

 

On that note, today's outfit is her Baby B'Gosh dress which I love because of the collar which I think makes her look very sweet and also a little like a triceratops somehow.

Also Baby B'Gosh is very expensive and smart, except when you buy it for £1.50 from an NCT sale.  Then it's not so bad.

 

Also, now she can stand up to have her picture taken which is very exciting (depending on context).

Magic Mushrooms II

This is another favourite autumnal 6-9 month outfit which is sadly on the way out, because someone's legs are getting just too long.

It's also much harder to get certain people to sit still to have their picture taken now they can move around so quickly and easily, which includes being able to get off the sofa without falling on her head.  They also seem to also think they should be allowed to press all the buttons on the camera and chew the strap.

Anway, this outfit came from good old George at Asda because I couldn't resist the stripey leggings. I'd rather like a pair of those myself, but I'm not sure how good a look it would be. Anyway, as the eponymous magic mushrooms have been less than visible so far, here they all in all their mushroom-y glory (if that kind of glory does in fact exist [it doesn't])

Christmas Goose

Just a quick update on how the Goose is getting on with the Christmas tree.

Magic Mushrooms

I've given up waiting for her to be better, it's apparntly not going to happen until she's 18 or something and in the meantime, she's rapidly growing out of some of my favourite 6-9 months clothes.

Like these lovely Marks and Spencer's dungerees with mushrooms, flowers and mice on them and which were a present from her Great Auntie Janet (in that I bought them with the giftcard she sent her).

She's worn these lots of times, although very few were captured on camera and now she's getting so long they're turning into shorts I though we better get them photographed shaprpish, poorly or not.

  You can see her nose is still a bit red and her eyes are a bit puffy, but she's still playing happily, trying to eat the power cord to the computer and standing up whilst holding on the fire guard.

Anyway, you can't really see the detail on the dungerees while she's all crumpled up (roll on the day when she can stand for these pictures) but in the meantime, here are a few of the details for your viewing enjoyment.

Yes, she may have had to sit on the floor in her vest while I borrowed her dungrees for these pictures but at least I put the fan heater on.

Standing, Clicking and STILL Not Updating Properly

We're almost better (and ready to break out the 9-12 month clothes) so we'll work on pictures this weekend.  In the meantime, another video.  Look who's learnt to stand up!

Please note, fleecy jumper from Next (via Taunton's NCT Sale) and crazy Jedward style hair.  Also note 3 old ladies thought she was a boy in Tesco due to her being dressed in blue, flowers and pink hood aside!

Not Exactly an Update

No new pictures due to repeated and cyclical  ill health.  Continuing to be alive is pretty much all I can be be bothered with right now but to keep Auntie Anna on side, I have 6 minutes of video excitement to share.

Please to note, Homes Under the Hammer soundtrack and sheep pyjamas from Auntie Heidi.

Normal service shall resume following the banishment of germs from this household.

Halloween Chic

I know it's all but Bonfire Night now, but we've all been a bit poorly round here (again) so the taking and editing of suitable Halloween pictures has been somewhat delayed.  I've managed it (although I suspect it may be the only thing I do) today though so now I need another lie down.


You'll have to let me off if I don't have many words today, let alone any interesting/witty/insightful/relevant ones so I'll just let you look at the pictures.

Just to say, our total outlay on slightly frivolous Halloween costumes has been a total of £2.50 as the witchy dress was already reduced in Tesco by 5pm on the 31st and the pumpkin top came from Sainsbury's this time last year.
