Category Archives: Project 365: A picture a day for a year

The first year of Louisette’s life has been VERY exciting, and as I tried to think of new and interesting photos for each day I took a lot of photos of significant moments. Suddenly her babyhood is over and I want to make sure I remember every second. A photo a day wasn’t enough, butContinue reading “Firsts”

I like this shot because it’s so simple and so complicated. It was most definitely planned, and planned to be public – I blogged and tweeted throughout the labour, and every blogger knows “pics or it didn’t happen”. I didn’t really like the idea of having a shirtless photo (most people give birth naked justContinue reading “Top Twenty-Five Photos of my Louisette 365 Project”

PS The rather brilliant Australian fantasy author Rowena Cory Daniells let me start my ebook  blog tour at her place, where I talk about how the book that I wasn’t meant to write came to be. ———————————————————————————————————————— When Louisette was four days old, I put her in a red dress and took the photo below. IContinue reading “Monthly Photos: Lady in Red”

We have two cats: Indah, who is grey, grumpy, and close to fifteen years old; and Ana, who is fluffy, friendly, and not overly gifted in the brain department. From the time I was pregnant, Ana began mucking up – she stayed out on the town for several nights at a time; she visibly lostContinue reading “Top Cat Pics”

This is it: the final month of daily pictures. You can see the rest here (just keep scrolling down). I have been sorting them into special albums – funny, cats, sheer cuteness – for weeks now and soon you will see some truly excellent collections. Stay tuned! You can also see the official 365 photos (onlyContinue reading “A full year in daily pictures!!”

I’m pretty delighted to have just one more month of daily Louisette photos to go (and then I get to SORT them into my favourites – I can’t wait!) To see the rest, click here and scroll down. In the last month she suddenly got a lot better with her hands (clapping, Indian war cry,Continue reading “The Penultimate Month”

Yep, just two more months of daily photos to go. . . Louisette has learned that falling off the couch face-first is something she doesn’t want to do. She has not learned that falling off the couch backwards is something equally unpleasant. But she’s pretty good at the wriggling-style descent these days, and can sometimesContinue reading “Girls Gone Metric: She’s Ten Months Old”

Louisette has now spent more time in the world than in the womb. It seems impossible that she’s only been around the same length of time as I was pregnant – it seems that my life has been full of her grins and giggles and drool forever. This month was full of adventures – FloriadeContinue reading “Nine months old”

This was the month Louisette had her skin tag removed (hence a couple of plaintive hospital photos), and the month it became impossible to hold her still in a standing position – she immediately starts walking (usually giggling maniacally as she does so). Other months can be seen via here.  

She crawls, and she has her first tooth. The whole world of movement and (soon) chewable food is opening up. She’s like a teenager who just earned her driving license. AND she has another cousin (a girl). All the other months have links from here.                    Continue reading “Louisette is seven months old”
