Day Sixty: 60/366

Day Sixty: Wow, sixty days into 2012 already?! Here is one of Adele rolling around on the floor while I played around with the camera. I had a lot of photos to choose from, but most didn't come out very well: trying to get the hang of balancing out the ISO and shutter speed...

Day Fifty-Nine: 59/366

Day Fifty-Nine: So, after a few weeks not making a proper effort to take photos for my 366 project, I'm back. I'm aiming to take most of my photos on the manual setting - like this one!

Day Fifty-Eight: 58/366

Day Fifty-Eight: It was very muggy here today - and I can always tell when it's muggy because Adele's hair gets like this. I love love love her curls!

Day Fifty-Seven: 57/366

Day Fifty-Seven: I went to a sling meet today and ate way too much cob loaf dip (nom nom nom). Not a big turn out, but I still love going to talk babywearing and other 'hippy' stuff with like-minded mums.

Day Fifty-Six: 56/366

Day Fifty-Six: Flowers for a beautiful woman going through a hard time.

Day Fifty-Five: 55/366

Day Fifty-Five: Again, no photos taken for my project, but I did have this photo on my phone. Adele is wearing one my op shop finds.

Day Fifty-Four: 54/366

Day Fifty-Four: *sigh* What can I say. I love this beautiful girl more and more every day.

Day Fifty-Three: 53/366

Day Fifty-Three: I've been going for lots of walks with the kids recently - trying to lose weight and all that. This morning I went for a long walk to one of the nicer playgrounds in our area. Oliver got out and had a play while Adele watched and I had a quick snack.

Day Fifty-Two: 52/366

Day Fifty-Two: I went to my first ever ABA meeting this morning - it was great! Afterwards I was going to meet my mum for lunch, but these shoes caught my eye! They were on sale and I've been after new shoes for a while. I really like them, and they're comfortable and easy to get on and off (must have for a mum!). It was nice to buy something for myself for a change.

Day Fifty-One: 51/366

Day Fifty-One: After cleaning Adele up after breakfast I stood her on the table to clean her legs (yup, food gets everywhere!). Later on I realised there was a footprint left behind, so took a quick photo.

Day Fifty: 50/366

Day Fifty: We found out earlier this week (on facebook actually) that my brother Daniel is engaged. We had a small party/barbecue today to celebrate and I was given cake duty... I made a double layer mud cake, covered in ganache - it was so yummy... however I could have done with a lot more practice with the can of frosting I used to do the writing. Still, it's the thought that counts right :)

Day Forty-Nine: 49/366

Day Forty-Nine: I've been so slack taking photos recently - this is the only one I had for today: a blurry shot of Oliver with a scratch under one eye. Absolutely no idea what he did.

Day Forty-Eight: 48/366

Day Forty-Eight: Just a nice one of Oliver and Adele rolling around together on the floor.

Day Forty-Seven: 47/366

Day Forty-Seven: It was a hot one today, so my friend Alice and I took the kids to the Gorge. The Gorge has certainly gotten a workout this summer from us! We had a walk around first (note to self, those hills are steep especially when pushing two kids in the pram), then stopped at the kiosk and Oliver had an icy pole. He was most impressed and devoured the whole thing before it had time to melt! Then we had a nice swim. I'm really enjoying summer this year.

Day Forty-Six: 46/366

Day Forty-Six: I forgot to take a photo today... so here's an old favourite of mine. Travis and I many, many years ago. I think we were probably both about 20.

Day Forty-Five: 45/366

Day Forty-Five: After the kids go to bed, this is what I do... cycle, cycle, cycle. I'm going to shift this weight finally, and be the healthy mama I want to be.

Day Forty-Four: 44/366

Day Forty-Four: My baby boy Oliver is three today! He's growing up much too fast. He had his party yesterday, so today was actually fairly quiet. He had a play with his friend Josie in the morning, and in the afternoon Travis came home early and they watched Cars 2 together. We started off the day with more presents though - here Oliver is in the middle of all the present-opening madness. Spoilt much!

Day Forty-Three: 43/366

Day Forty-Three: It was Oliver's birthday party today at Punchbowl. It was family, a few friends and a few of Oliver's little friends. He got spoilt rotten with presents, fed the ducks, ate robot cake... all in all it was a fun day. His actual birthday is tomorrow - I can't believe my baby boy is three already!

Day Forty-Two: 42/366

Day Forty-Two: Oliver's birthday party is tomorrow, so I have been in preparation mode. He picked a robot cake out of the cake book we have - here is the cake cut out and ready to be iced in the morning. Let's hope it turns out okay!

Day Forty-One: 41/366

Day Forty-One: Just a quick pic from my phone of the kids rolling around on the floor. I love how they're really starting to play with one another - it is beautiful to watch, such a privilege.

Day Forty - 40/366

Day Forty: As you can probably tell, I've not been feeling overly inspired recently. Here is another uninspired photo taken from my phone of my glass of water...

Day Thirty-Nine - 39/366

Day Thirty-Nine: We got out of the house today (thank goodness) and went to our local sling meet. I tried on this pretty ring sling with Adele - so lovely and comfortable. I definitely need practice putting it on though.

Day Thirty-Eight - 38/366

Day Thirty-Eight: I actually forgot to take a photo for this day, but then looking back through I realised I took photos of some nappies I am selling... So, um, here's a pic of one of my nappies!

Day Thirty-Seven - 37/366

Day Thirty-Seven: Adele is getting so close to crawling. So many times during the day I think "she's going to just take off", but so far nothing. Not that she doesn't get around mind you - she can roll and go backwards and turn in a circle - enough to get into mischief.

Day Thirty-Six - 36/366

Day Thirty-Six: We spent a night away this weekend. I had a baby shower to go to, and we had a few people to visit that we hadn't seen in over a year. It was a big couple of days for the kids - so much so that even Oliver (who never sleeps in the car) actually fell asleep in the car.

Day Thirty-Five - 35/366

Day Thirty-Five: Last night I went to bed around 11.30pm. I was just drifting off to sleep when Adele woke. This isn't unusual - she usually has a quick feed and then we both go back to sleep. Not last night though - last night she woke up properly and just would not go back to sleep. I tried everything. At 4am, exhausted and completely wrecked I woke Travis and he took her for a drive in the hopes it would get her off to sleep. It did, so we all got some sleep then. Four hours is better than nothing. I am very thankful for concealer this morning.

Day Thirty-Four - 34/366

Day Thirty-Four: I've been a bit slack taking photos recently, but here is one I snapped of Adele today. She's such a cutie-pie, I just want to smoosh her!

Day Thirty-Three - 33/366

Day Thirty-Three: A pic of the little miss grumpy pants in the carrier. I love my carrier(s) - they're my fall back when nothing else is working.

Day Thirty-Two - 32/366

Day Thirty-Two: I hadn't taken a photo for today by the evening, but as I went outside I noticed these very dark clouds. It looks like my washing might be getting a second rinse!

Day Thirty-One - 31/366

Day Thirty-One: Today I finally started playing with our camera on the manual setting. After lots of and lots of photos - changing the iso, exposure times and playing with the manual focus... I started taking some okay photos near the end. Here is one (slightly overexposed) photo of my baby girl.
