zoe

We had another baby; another beautiful little sister for Martha, called Zoe, and being a parent means I want to talk about it, and being a geek means I want to talk about it online.

Zoe wasn’t eating her lunch, so I told her that if she didn’t finish it, then the dinner witch would come and eat her. This here is the result: Zoe crying and eating at the same time.

More tummy time

Zoe has huge eyes, so she looks started pretty much all the time.

I think Zoe may be it for a while.

Zoe’s first bath… not an enjoyable one.


2008-01-07 12:18:58   still not sure

not sure I like the look of this, either


2008-01-07 12:16:01   unsure

Not too sure if I like the look of this

Pappa… again!


2008-01-06 15:28:35   done

Here we are, home, the next day, all safe and tired… so very tired.


2008-01-06 11:27:56   bruiseless

Earlier pictures of Zoe weren’t all that pretty, her face was bruised a little by the super-fast labour.
Here she is, all pretty again.


2008-01-06 11:26:58   optimism

Looks like Zoe will be as optimistic as her sister.


2008-01-05 21:53:54   awesome

This was the picture we sent around to everyone about an hour and a half after the birth.
I think Nancy said it best: … Aibhín, you look fucking awesome


2008-01-05 21:07:00   postamble

This is Zoe, just half an hour after being born, being kept warm in my arms.


2008-01-05 20:36:20   pop! goes the weasel

This is my beautiful new daughter.
For those who are interested in this kind of thing: she’s big for a girl, bigger even than her big sister, coming in at 4.03 Kg (that’s 8 lb 14 oz); she has blue eyes and red hair, ten fingers and ten toes and is bright and alert, but no […]


2008-01-05 17:36:59   preamble

Not really a picture of Zoe, I guess, but this picture was taken at half-past five on Zoe’s birthday, so Aibhín is in labour in this photo.
In labour, and in a coffee shop having hot chocolate and a muffin with Pog.
