{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!

I'm glad you included words and another pic this friday! Beautiful photos. Hard to believe taken with iphone!Love you way of thinking. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletegreat photos! i thought maybe you had gotten your new camera . . .
ReplyDeleteI 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!
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. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you are so in tune with your little girl. She is precious.
I wish that Lacey still fitted in the sling. I would carry her that way. I just love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend beautiful. x
Baby wearing is the bomb. I still pop Tiny into the sling and go for a walk. She adores it (so do I!).
ReplyDeletelove baby wearing! that time of the day is beautiful, love the colour of the sky. enjoy your weekend MB. x
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend Ann and family Bear.

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!
ReplyDeleteI know this walk well.
ReplyDeleteRosie Cheeks!
