Millie: 'Tea for One' after a week of sickness. A dose of Hand, Foot and Mouth for this little possum and her Daddy.

I hope your week has been a healthier one than ours.

'A portrait of Millie, once a week, every week, in 2014'

I'm determined to present 52 portraits this year. I don't want to miss a week (or many weeks) like I did last year. I took this project on as a challenge and I'm determined to see it through.....so I'm playing catch up this week.

19/52 - A Mother's Day portrait. Not the best photo, but it was a 'best of the bad bunch' kind of scenario.
20/52 - My little crafty companion (an un-portrait of sorts). I love how her little hand is holding the paper in this portrait.
21/52 - At the park with a sense of uncertainty.  Maybe next time she might enjoy the slide and swings.

Millie: My little baking assistant, stirring, whisking, pouring, scooping, tasting. Loving these moments! Making a batch of Blueberry Muffins for the freezer.

Millie: Late last Sunday afternoon while I was preparing meals and snacks for the week ahead, you and Daddy went to explore the beautiful gardens of the old church grounds at Mt Mee. If you and Daddy go out, just the two of you, this is where you always go. You love the flowers and the freedom and he loves the drive.

Millie: a very rare photo of the two of us enjoying our first joint cooking adventure. Banana pikelets! I can see many more of these adventures happening in our future.

Millie: Over the past few weeks she's taken a liking to all things 'pink'. Pink beads, pink clothes, pink shoes, pink plates, pink cups. If it's pink it's bound to make her gasp.

Millie: She loves being outside but the persistent rain this week kept us inside for the most part. One afternoon we snuck out between showers for a bit of 'chalk' time. It was just what we needed.

Millie: We were given a bag of hand-me-downs from a friend and this little number has become a firm favourite. If you spot it, you want it on.

Millie: Your independence is growing by the day. You often take your dirty clothes to the washing basket, your spoon feeding skills are getting better and better and you've even tried blowing your own nose a few times. Baby girl, or not so baby girl, you're growing up so fast.

Millie: Looking for ducks. We were having one of those days where your energy levels far outweighed mine. So we ended the day with a walk in the park, running free, with the wind in our hair.

Millie: Nana and I took you to the beach for the very first time this week. You were suitably impressed and we can't wait to take you back. You were in your element, with the wind in your hair, the sand at your feet and water stretched out in front of you as far as your eye could see.

Millie: clearing up fallen limes. You're always eager to help (some days more than others) and your enthusiasm for simple tasks reminds me to take pleasure in the little things.

Millie: We had planned to go to the beach (the first time for you) but we had to postpone as the weather was overcast and drizzly. Instead, we drew on the blackboard, made our own paint and glued pretty pictures onto cardboard to make collages. We also started putting together your very own 'art wall'. You seemed suitably impressed by this and after each artwork you completed you would hold it up to the wall in anticipation of it being included. You are too sweet my girl x

Millie: On top of the world. The perfect way to start a new year {a trip up to the lookout at Mt Mee with your Dada}.

 

I hope the new year has embraced you with open arms.
