I need to just do this post and break this block I’ve had.

I’m going to stop feeding my blog across to LJ. Anyone wishing to continue reading my blog is more than welcome to come and visit, or rss feed it; the address is gypsyamber dot electrickinetic dot com

A few different reasons for doing this. I have been battling with how I want my blog to ( Read more... )

8:09 AM I love these pants on Zac! A great find at a second-hand store. I must go back soon.

The second photo is indicative of how little Zac stays still these days. He spends more time on the change table on his side than any other position; he is fighting to get to the light switch, the ( Read more... )

12:11 PM Zac: you have a cold today. It started yesterday and got worse last night. You look so sad and stuffed up. You’re still pretty active, but giggles are very hard to come by and you keep squeezing your eyes shut, which makes me think that your head is hurting. My poor boy. I so wish I could ( Read more... )

I’ve learnt how to include photos! They are just from my phone, and I am not proficient at editing them in phone so they are not the best quality. They are just simple snapshots - my “polaroids”!

EDIT: Sorry - I should have put it all behind a cut!! I was forgetting my LJ Blog ettiquette!

9:22 PM Zac, tonight in the bath you refused to sit, instead you stood and splashed water madly! Clearly ( Read more... )

I have a big, big post to post…when I finish it and maybe chop it into two posts so, sometime in June perhaps it’ll be up!

It amazes me how much I am forgetting of Zac’s first few months - I have heard people say it over and over but I just didn’t get it. I still don’t get it, but it is happening. So I downloaded an app called “Momento” which is ( Read more... )

It is a strange thing to mourn someone, yet know that even if they were alive today, you still wouldn’t have them. To have my Mum back, the Mum I adored when I was growing up, the Mum that I want to talk to and ask questions of, I would need a time machine to take me back to the days pre-alcohol.

A year ago today, Rafe and I returned home from our ( Read more... )

My social mojo is missing in action. Or inaction, as the case may be. It has fallen before the physical, emotional and mental onslaught that came with the territory of having a baby. There is no one contributing factor, rather a variety of things combine to make me the earliest pumpkiniser that ever pumpkinned.

I lack the clarity of thought that ( Read more... )

My Gorgeous Boy,

We started you on solids just over a week ago. Your Daddy had been saying for a few weeks that he thought you were ready for food; you would watch intently as we ate, sometimes opening your mouth. I had started to let you suck on things, a slice of ginger, some beef fried in soy sauce, so you could start tasting things, but was ( Read more... )

Darling Boy,

You are growing so quickly and so far I love each new stage best of all! On Tuesday night you laughed, three times! You laughed once about a month ago, when your Daddy and I were telling you that you would soon have to learn how to cook pancakes and a lamb roast so we could kick back sometimes - an appropriate response to be sure. But ( Read more... )
