17 Blogs...

... is far too many for one harrased mother to run. It is unreasonable to expect that for every child, pet or new hat I might acquire over the coming years anew blog will be started. And for that reason, fred's blog shall now be known as fred and rocco's blog and be found at the following address:

Rocco Coutts Ligertwood. Future Legend.




Apologies for not being the best photos in the world - but need to satiate the baying masses. (have not been behind the camera myself, so lesser photographers are to blame). Will put up a few more in the coming days.

The Ligertwood Boys


Rocco Coutts Ligertwood born 4am (London time) on 3.08.08. 8lb7oz, long dark hair, cross-eyed and squishy-faced. Labor was both eventful and pretty standard. Shorter than last time, more awesome pain-relief, but similar consequences which see me being a bit slower than I would have liked. BUT can't complain - healthy baby boy who seems very sweet at this time. Had very little sleep and trying to catch up on that. Hungry baby, milk not coming yet so very much have a baby attached to boobs at all time. Blah blah blah. Transferring photos onto Mr. Internet is something not immediately pressing but will hopefully get to do more in the next day or so.

Fred tentatively acknowledged Rocco, offering him a piece of dried fruiton their first meeting. But all hope of peaceful intergration was shattered when he watched Dave change the baby's nappy. For it was then we encountered the harrowing cries of a heart breaking. The bath he witnessed later that night saw Fred collapse on hte floor weeping at Dave's feet. Fred seems undisturbed by me holding Rocco, choosing to ignore us in favour of the bits of manky bread he stashes around the house. So not the best start, but pretty much as we expected it.

Will write up a more complete version of this past Saturday's events in good time as some things are too funny to not be aired in a public forum....

Carrot Cake. Bang!

My life has been reduced to taking pictures of what I cook.
