{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.SouleMama

This week I'm bending the rules a bit. I've included two photos, and words.

These were taken earlier today with my iPhone. My view looking up, and down.

Every evening at about 5pm, BB gets a little bit grumpy. I've found the best was to settle her is to pop her in a sling and head out for a stroll. She looks wide-eyed at the world until slowly but surely those peepers begin to close. I cherish these walks, I love looking down and watching her sleep and listening to her sounds. My favourite one at the moment is three quick breaths in (sniffs?) followed immediately by a loud, grunty sigh. 

I want to remember baby-wearing for ever. I can't believe one day she'll be to big for this. I'm making the most of every second while I can still have her bundled close and still.

PS. Unfortunately no, I didn't knit the blanket in the post below. I bought it at a little Op Shop, it was made by the nana's of the local church. I love it, I've lugged it around the world with me!

  2. great photos! i thought maybe you had gotten your new camera . . .
    I wore both of my girls (in fact I've never owned a stroller!) and there is no greater time. i still carry them whenever they'll let me!

  3. Beauty up and beauty down - what great photos. My mom used to say that after 3 sighs I'd let out a big one and she knew I'd be out after the big one. :)

    I love that you are so in tune with your little girl. She is precious.

  5. Baby wearing is the bomb. I still pop Tiny into the sling and go for a walk. She adores it (so do I!).

  7. Love baby wearing, I still carry 5 year old Luke around on my hips of course, they grow out of slings so quickly. But mama/child skin contact should contine for as long as you both want it regardless of kidlet's age.
    Happy Weekend Ann and family Bear.

  8. I don't think I even turned lulu around till she was 6 months old. I wanted her all to myself! Its wonderful that you acknowledge that these precious moments are exactly that!
