My Noisy Little Girl

Today was supposed to be the launch of my weekly, Friday feature, "My Noisy Boy" picture. I have a variety of crafters, photographers and more waiting in the wings to show you their interpretation of noisy boys, which I thought would be rather fun. However it seemed more fitting today to pay homage to my poor, poorly little girl who has contracted the Chicken Pox (as expected) and is currently head to foot in rather awful looking spots. Today has been the worst day for her so far and I am hoping that this is a sign that things will start to improve tomorrow (trying to be the optimist). On another positive note - we have been cooped up in the house for 3 weeks now and once this has passed we can hopefully join the real world again (how are you all out there?). My girlie is still trying her best to smile her way through it all. When she is comfortable she is learning to blow us kisses and balancing on her feet in anticipation of walking soon. She is 10 months now which is hard to believe and has been such a joyful addition to our noisy family. After spending 80% of my midwife appointments in fear and tears of starting over with another baby - having a second child has been the happiest decision we could've ever made. Life isn't dull and some days are overwhelming, but one big cheeky smile from the little woman or a listen in to her and the Noisy Boy sharing a laugh helps me to remember that all will be good. Well that and the litre of wine waiting for me after they are in bed!


Thank you so much Sarah from Smiling Rain Photography and Vintage Props for the wonderful pictures you took of the whole family (what a fun photo shoot that was - for a camera shy individual like myself I had no idea taking family portraits would be such a laugh). I will be posting these throughout the weeks and do pls check out her work at http://www.smilingrainphotography.com.
