Aneurin you truly love and cherish your sister. Here you are sharing your beloved dog with her and even a biscuit. (despite me trying to explain, babies drink milk…) This image isn’t perfect but it reminds me of this moment, the first day ‘back to work’ of 2014. Your behaviour has been terrible this morning, ever since your daddy left for work you have been throwing, moaning and huffing. This picture captures a moment of bliss, and it was lovely until soon after I took it you smacked your sister in the face. You were annoyed that I was trying to tell you to be gentle. I wish you understood what being gentle was, it would help enormously. All that said, the good outweighs the bad and I am proud that you are learning to share. This is the start of your journey as a big brother.
Little Evelina, I am afraid you were born into a blogging family. It is the start of your journey and already I am placing you on the living room floor on random bits of fabric to ‘document’ your life. I know it’s silly. Blimey, I can see it for sure in this photo, but if I didn’t take these photos I would fear I had missed something. Have no fear, your brother is here to protect you, even if at this moment that means kissing you with a ‘”mwah” and banging his head aginst yours. (potentially a Glasgow kiss…) You spent your first month sleeping,eating, cooing, smiling and being cuddled by your daddy. It was a good month.
*These are my images for week 1 of the Living Arrows project on I heart Snapping.

love the pics! i also like your fabric its a very cool design
January 6, 2014 at 5:00 pm
Thanks, it’s from Ikea.
January 6, 2014 at 5:36 pm
oh never thought of getting fabric from there for photos but may look next time I go there!
January 6, 2014 at 12:14 pm
I love the pictures. A bonus of blogging is that you do tend to take more photos, all the more lovely images to look back on and remember when you have a miserable teenager!
January 6, 2014 at 5:00 pm
Not looking forward to those teenager years, I was a terror. I’m already getting teary looking at the newborn photos, god help me then!
January 6, 2014 at 12:55 pm
Beautiful words and pictures.
January 6, 2014 at 4:59 pm
Thank you
January 6, 2014 at 1:12 pm
What a lovely post. It is great having somewhere to capture all of the little moments (even the bad ones!)
January 6, 2014 at 4:59 pm
I shall try my hardest to let go and record the bad as well as the good!
January 6, 2014 at 1:18 pm
Gorgeous names and gorgeous babies too! I am always scared to miss a memory – my daughter is so used to having a camera in her face!
January 6, 2014 at 4:59 pm
Thank you, I am forever pronouncing them to people, but it’s my own fault My only fear is to miss the joy of the moments, it’s really hard to strike a balance between recording and overdoing it.
January 6, 2014 at 1:27 pm
just gorgeous. also, love your babas names. lost myself in your blog for a while there, love discovering new blogs to read x
January 6, 2014 at 4:58 pm
Thanks for the comment, I have been having a good browse of yours this afternoon.
January 6, 2014 at 1:32 pm
this is so sweet!
January 6, 2014 at 4:57 pm
Thank you.
January 6, 2014 at 2:03 pm
Lovely photos and a great way to keep a record for the kids. Watch out when they’re older though – they may not want to be on your blog!
January 6, 2014 at 4:57 pm
Thanks, yes indeed I shall just capture it while I can. I’m certain they won’t be so impressed when they are at high school
January 6, 2014 at 2:34 pm
How beautiful that you are capturing and recording such a gorgeous sibling journey.
January 6, 2014 at 4:56 pm
Thank you, I only hope I can keep it going.
January 6, 2014 at 2:51 pm
I think these every day captures sometimes tell more of a story than set up photos. These are beautiful in your own way, because they remind you of certain moments in your life. Gorgeous little ones x
January 6, 2014 at 4:56 pm
Thank you, I tried my hardest to let them be more natural to tell life how it is rather than how we want it to be.
January 6, 2014 at 2:59 pm
Aww that is so sweet of him too share!! Gorgeous photos of them both x
January 6, 2014 at 4:55 pm
Thank you!
January 6, 2014 at 3:34 pm
gorgeous photos! and it made me laugh a little, as I’m 36 weeks pregnant now and wondering how my little boy will be with the new baby, hopefully as good at sharing as yours
January 6, 2014 at 4:55 pm
I swear to you, as soon as you open your mouth to say how wonderful they are the universe chastises you be warned!
January 6, 2014 at 4:37 pm
Such sweet photos. I am totally loving this Living arrows project and seeing everyones gorgeous photos x
January 6, 2014 at 4:55 pm
Thanks, me too. Looking forward to the year ahead.
January 6, 2014 at 5:14 pm
so lovely! I’m so glad you are joining in, I’m really looking forward to seeing your pics each week! xx
January 6, 2014 at 5:29 pm
Oh how wonderful – such a fabulous photo of the two of them together. Can’t wait to see more
January 6, 2014 at 6:01 pm
Such a cute photo of them together and I do love the wood stack fabric! x
January 6, 2014 at 6:08 pm
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE
January 6, 2014 at 6:15 pm
What a lovely idea. I often look back and not only wish I had taken more photos, but taken the time to write down what was happening around them to. It is true what they say – it really does go so quick, and it’s so easy to forget even the most precious moments.
PS. Glasgow kiss – lmbo xx
January 6, 2014 at 6:50 pm
This will be such a wonderful thing for your kids to look back on when they’re older – not just for the images of them but the items that surround them, insulating the scope of their budding lives. I can hear it now, “Oh look, I remember that wood-pattern cloth…”
January 6, 2014 at 7:04 pm
I might have to join in with Living Arrows. Learning to share is such a hurdle but it is so rewarding when they get it – Aaron still sometimes wavers though xx
January 6, 2014 at 7:22 pm
Beautiful pictures. I love that fabric too.
January 6, 2014 at 7:39 pm
Gorgeous gorgeous children and I don’t think they ever get the idea of being gentle lol
January 6, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Great photos. I wish blogging was around when my son was little.
January 6, 2014 at 8:33 pm
Your photos are gorgeous x x
January 6, 2014 at 8:45 pm
Love these photos and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your children’s names. You have fab taste!
January 6, 2014 at 8:53 pm
Beautiful – and a lovely project xxx
January 6, 2014 at 9:47 pm
Love it! Gorgeous kids and gorgeous names I love having blogs to look back on as T is growing up, and hope one day he will enjoy reading it! xx
January 6, 2014 at 10:14 pm
Ooh, lovely pictures!
January 6, 2014 at 11:53 pm
Gorgeous kids and gorgeous pics – what a beautiful project this will be x
January 7, 2014 at 11:38 am
so wonderful, look at that scrummy baby and beautiful big brother xx
January 7, 2014 at 11:57 am
This is such a lovely post. I think my favourite line though was about being in a blogging family. My boys they feel the pain. My two year old is such a poser now, and when my 6 year old gets a new toy he asks if he can take a video to show the people. 2014 is the year to live it up. I have brilliant expectations. I look forward to watching your journey as a family of 4 x
January 7, 2014 at 8:48 pm
Beautiful words and photos, and yes bloggers children go through a lot. Thanks for joining in Living Arrows and lovely to find your blog. x
January 12, 2014 at 9:07 pm
Thanks for dropping by!
January 7, 2014 at 9:29 pm
Haha, I loved the bit about ‘being born into a blogging family’. My daughter is a true blog baby, it’s like they’re famous before they’re even born.
Lovely photos of your gorgeous twosome together. Would it be bad if I shamelessly plugged a new monthly photo project I’m doing with a few other bloggers, it’s called Siblings? Oops, seems like I already did!
Thanks so much for linking up to Living Arrows, looking forward to seeing your future photos. x
January 12, 2014 at 9:07 pm
Hi Lucy, thanks for dropping by, I’m loving the siblings project. I will try and link up next month!
