ILP rolling photo quarantine 2

Waiting for yet another repairman today and feeling like I couldn't get involved with anything until he came and left, I decided to take pics of August in a stockpot. It is (cheesy) classic, silly, makes no sense...okay I never liked those photos but had to do it anyway because I have a baby and a giant stockpot. Took five minutes to set up and another five to photograph. That's our floor, not the counter top.

Pretty sure her dad is going to cringe his face off when he spots this:

omg I love you <3

I can't believe how big she's getting (plz forgive me for the cliche but it's truuuuue)

It has felt like a year and a half has gone by, but in fact, only 8 months. A few weeks ago I thought: Ugh! Never did get a cheesy mall photo done...so I did it myself, hahaha

omg I love that picture so much!

iirc pplains did cheesy mall photography (?), lets see if he gives you his stamp of approval

Thanks, fine, makes me laugh, I might need to print it.

Tera escapes total cheese by leaving off the refrigerator magnets spelling out AUGUST on the side of the pot.

HA!

"because I have a baby and a giant stockpot"

And that's really all the excuse you need. Fantastic!

Also, Tracer: gorgeous and I love that chair.

A really stressful day with the girls, freezing in the icy drizzle on the South Bank - one doing her sulky teen act, the other her helpless toddler act (when there's only 21 months between them) - but at least I took some pictures...

And here they are at Kings X today; this is the last known sighting of Monk (Ava's magnetic monkey, here wearing a handwarmer around a cardboard tube) - the word has gone out on Twitter and I'm hopeful he'll turn up.

Reunited!

: D

Banana and coffee, breakfast of champions!

monk! glad that story has a happy ending. we left sylvie's doll in oregon last summer, never to be seen again. she wasn't actually that upset, but it comes up every now and then. "is tallulah in oregon?"

yay! oh that's a lovely happy ending!

I left my teddy bear a hotel when I was little once -- I was so sad for days and Mum must have called the hotel because they sent it to us, and idk exactly what happened behind the scenes but all I know is I came home from school and there was Bear sitting on the front door step waiting for me. Like he'd caught the bus to come see me or something.

glad this didn't end up in the sad toy stories thread.

Aw, Sylvie had a doll called Tallulah.

My Tallulah gave her sister a big plush monkey on Sunday night - christened Monko - to soften the blow of losing Monk. She'd bought it with her own money and had been saving it for Ava's birthday. On Tuesday I retrieved Monk from Network Rail's offices at Kings X station (and dropped off some chocolates off for the staff at the bookshop who'd found it) . That evening Monk met Monko for the first time - Lulu tried to formally introduce them but got a serious eye-roll from Ava. "They're BROTHERS, Lulu - I *think* they've met before, don't you?"

My little sister once threw a fish-shaped coin bag into the seal tank at Sea World. (It's more of a submerged arena where observers can stand around a round wall on street level and look down at the crazy dudes.)

My sister started bawling (she was 3 or 4) while the seals started bouncing the purse around to each other like it was nose soccer. Employees had this big long net and whenever they'd stick it in on one side, the seals would all bounce over to the other side.

Finally, some dude in a rubber suit gets in there and I guess the seals knew at this point that the fun was over because they dropped the purse.

Guy hands it back over to my mother and it smelled awful. My sister likely lost it within a month of getting home.

gah fucking flickr

aw Shakey <3

catholic aunt (who got the news in Peru) was like "you named your baby Judas?!" and evidently spent some time worrying about how to tell us that was not really a good name for a baby... was waiting to tell her it lost out to our first choice, Hitler Bin Laden

haha

Super-tiny cuteness!

Oh my goodness he's incredibly small! Maybe I just don't understand what babbys normally look like. Baby mama looks awesome btw.

oh man, what a cute little mo collier.

Aw bless, so tiny. You just can't believe they were ever that small. The other day Lulu dressed her plush bunny Bob in a top...that she wore herself in hospital on day 2. She thought we were joking when we told her. "No, it's play clothes for toys!"

EEEEPPP! OMG! Just want to hug on that beautiful lil baby!!

^^^^this! Congrats!

She's so adorable!

lots of snow fun here last weekend
