Last day of leisure

Blurry image of Humuhumu in her red-and-white polka dot short-sleeve onesie and blue trackie bottoms, sitting on our bed and laughing.

Today was my last day with Humuhumu while I’m on maternity leave before she starts nursery full-time. I tried not to moon around too much. I succeeded some of the time.

It was a beautiful day, so this morning some friends came over to walk along the canal and then stayed for a cup of tea and a chat.

I gave Humuhumu her lunch and savoured her smiles and grabs at the spoon. Our nearest friends came over and picked us up to go to the Lickey Hills for a walk. We strolled around and enjoyed the sunshine, and then the mums got an ice cream. Each of the babies got to have tastes, but as I was having a chocolate ice lolly, Humuhumu wasn't allowed too much. She loved it and I don’t think it was just because the cold felt good on her sore gums (she’s teething).

The bloke came home a bit early to give her supper while I made ours. I gave Humuhumu her last bottle and then she went to bed to get her rest before the big day tomorrow.

consensus oop t'Norf is approx:

BAAAAAAAAAAABY

BABY BABY BABY

MOST ADORABLE BABY EVER TO BABY

so there you have it ;)

[noldo]

the rest of the Norf enthusiastically seconds this opinion! HI BABY HI

which sounds a bit like a bad pickup line but I assure you it isn't

[nanila]

Heee. She smiled and flapped her arms enthusiastically in response when I read this out to her!

[nanila]

:D :D :D She is such a happy baby, and has gotten even more giggly and smiley since starting nursery.

They are very cute pictures, especially the first one. I hope all goes well for both of you tomorrow.

[nanila]

Thank you! So far so good. Three full days have been achieved and she seems to have enjoyed them thoroughly.

Loic likes to eat his slings and bibs and other loose fabrics.

Hope your first day back in the work place goes well.

[nanila]

Yes, Alani likes to munch on her bib, especially if the next mouthful of food is too slow in arriving. :P

It did, thank you!

1. They're all so adorable!
2. When I first saw the third pic, I thought, "Teething!"
3. I really hope all goes well tomorrow. She is unlikely to do what I did during my first first few minutes of my first day of daycare (teach someone how to tie their shoes) but it wouldn't surprise me if it was similarly smooth on her end. I do think it'll be okay and will keep my fingers crossed. =)

She was a little unhappy the first morning but I don't think it had anything to do with being at nursery. It was most likely the teething. The subsequent 2.5 days went swimmingly. She loves it there.

Awww, she is the happiest Humuhumu!

[nanila]

Indeed! And she's loving nursery, too. Super-happy baby!

I would like to add my support to the notion that even as babies go, yours is ridiculously cute.

[nanila]

Thank you! I think she's learnt quite a bit at nursery, even though she's only been there full time for three days. She's even more giggly and smiley.

[crystalpyramid]

Yay!
