Mom With Babe

Thursday Challenge

A Thursday photo meme, found here.The theme for this week is ‘SOFT‘.
Here’s my interpretation of it.
This picture was taken in May this year. The Kid would have been six months old. In the mornings, he’d wake up, I’d bring him back to bed with me, feed him a bottle, and he’d fall asleep and I’d [...]

He has not yet learnt about manners, and how to eat with his mouth closed, so when he eats, he focuses completely [...]

Spoiled

My dear friend SwissTwist bought some stunning little items for The Kid’s birthday.
A ‘If you think I’m cute, you should see my mommy’ onesie:

And a ‘what happens on the playground stays on the playground’ t-shirt:
Aren’t they sooooo cool? Twisty, I promise he will wear one of them on the day of his birthday party. And [...]
