'A portrait of my son, once a week, every week, in 2014'
George, this week you discovered stairs, you delighted in climbing them over and over again and showed little interest in learning how come back down again safely.
This photo is symbolic of sorts because this week you were also baptised. I have a few photos of you in your two layers of gowns - one that my dad wore and one that your dad and your dad's mum and siblings all wore. It was a very special day and you were surrounded by family and friends. Family and friends and special godparents who will teach you about faith and religion and right and wrong and what it means to be a good person.
I took a series of bath time photos to capture the joy of bath time and for me to look back on to see how you grow in that big tub.
Here you are sitting in the tub, little ducky in hand, playing and content. My angelic little rascal.
Linking up with Jodi's lovely 52 Project.

WEEKLY STILLS
Lots of pics from a fun week in Karratha and weekend in Perth. Blogged from the Subi park with the fountain with the baby snoozing in the pram next to me. I'm sitting in the sun on the same park bench that I sat on when he was 6 weeks old. He was 8 months old yesterday and is now the big baby with a younger baby cousin to wreak havoc with. The big baby and I are loving our time down here for a week before setting off to see lovely family in England and friends tie the knot in Croatia!
Pics as follows:
1. A little bit stuck
2. Banana for the baby
3. Burnt banana bread for the daddy
4. Cool and creepy crochet creatures
5. Baby birds eye view at the library after rhyme time
6. Reaching for the crunchy paper in the study aka the crazy box room
7. Brooch backings
8. Rainbow bee eater taking off
9. Making a break for it from Thursday pottery
10. Multitasking
11. Meeting my beautiful little nephew for the first time
12. Chocolate, strawberries, icecream and a colourful rug
