early days

25 October 2012

.



Its been quite a fortnight over at our house these days! Getting to know Pehr, realising that we are now her staff, and enjoying every minute of it! She is so funny, especially her 'bodily noises!'

She can hold her own head up since birth, and likes to look around and gives us strange looks and the odd accidental smile.
I cant believe how much I love looking after her..

Today we went for a little walk around, to show Pehr the 'hood, and the autumn leaves...





normal blogging will continue eventually!
 
Thank you ALL so much for the lovely comments for my last post, I have read every one of them and its just over whelmingly kind and Pehr can read them when she grows up : )

  1. Gorgeous photos of you 2 together. Early motherhood can be a dreamlike and magical state - and sometimes a wobbly one too, but looks like you're taking to it beautifully! x

  3. Oh the two of you are SO adorable! It must be amazing to finally be able to hold your little lady in your arms after 9 months of wondering what she'll be like. I absolutely can't wait for that time.. Ha ha sometimes I wish we could just fast forward to February, but then again I feel utterly unprepared for the arrival of this little so far!

    Many congratulations! These first few weeks are such a joy. My own babe is now 5 weeks old and I miss her being a snuggly newborn already. I'm also patiently waiting for my rust wedding ring to fit again!

  22. Ah, Pehr, what a dear little thing you are. I am so touched to see how taken your parents (ahem, staff) are by you. You are going to be the most loved up, well dressed little lady out there. Tell your mummy that we look forward to seeing and reading about the many adventures you will have as a family.

    Happy days!

  34. There are those who say parents should never spoil a child, never be "her staff." Having raised 4, and sp;oiled all of them, I am reminded of the movie Hook, where the wife says, "There are a few precious years when they need us, and then we go running after them, wanting THEIR attention." Enjoy this time when she still needs you. It is fleeting.

    Congratulations my dear! :)
    Pehr is a lovely baby girl, indeed.
    Enjoy all the moments because these little ones grow up so quickly...
    Wish you lots of love and all the best in the world.

  51. Lovely photos! It's so nice to hear someone saying they're enjoying every minute of the early days with a baby.. so often people choose not to embrace it, as you obviously have, and they spend a lot of that precious time fighting against the lifestyle change that comes with having a baby!

    The photos make me miss my days in Sth London!
