"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2013"

Juno: Our little chatterbox. She spends most of her day talking to me but her vocabulary only exists of "dad".

Juno: She uses her feet as another pair of hands. At the moment she just wants to be grounded.

Blog hiatus... 32,33,34,35,36/52

It has pained (agitated) me every week that I have not had time or have not felt like sitting down to post my weekly photo.

Basically hubby and I have had a hospital relay. Nothing serious... he had to get his surfers ear drilled out and I was lucky enough to have all four wisdom teeth plucked from my jaw. Oh the pain... I won't bore you with my whinging but the dentist did say I had pigs for teeth and apologised for my severe bruising and swelling. Oh dear the swelling. I looked like Fat Albert.

So if I wasn't playing nurse I was laying on the lounge feeling sorry for myself. I only managed to get the camera out once.. lucky my trusty phone was in reach to capture some of Juno's cuteness. 

I promise my tardiness will improve.

By the way; being sick is so much harder when you are a mum. If it wasn't for my amazing mum the past few weeks would have been so much worse.

Juno: Salad sandwich deconstructed. We have started eating lunch outside so the dogs can help with the clean up.

Juno: He is the fun parent... dammit.

Juno: Walking the dogs. The beach brings me so much calmness, it heals me, it brings me back, it centres me... I hope she enjoys it as much as we do.

Juno: This is the new face. It is accompanied with some quick snuffly breathing. It is so cute.

This photo could be my favourite so far. It makes me laugh every time I look at it.

"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2013"

Juno: She is an outdoor adventure girl in the making. She will happily sit on her rug watching us garden or the dogs play. 

The dogs often get in my way when i'm taking photos. I could not resist this puppy framing.

Juno: She wants everything we have. She also thinks that every part of my body will produce milk if she sucks on it. I'm just one big milk bottle.

Juno: Adventure time with mum and dad. First time on my back and loved every second of it. 

This photo was taken by Karl and on an iPhone.... cheating.

This project has been so rewarding. Thanks to Jodi and all the other Project 52ers for giving me inspiration and a good reason to get snapping.
