Over the past two years I have been joining the 52 project, documenting the life of my little lady through weekly portraits. At the end of the year I ended up with 52 pictures and some funny facts about her life (you can check the past weekly photos here), and all of it was printed into a mini book that we also used as a present for our families (you check the one for 2013 here). I love those so much and once in a while my not-so-little-anymore likes to go through the books and likes to ask about all the stories behind each picture. Since my handsome boy joined our family last August, I had the intention of carrying out as the previous years, by taking a weekly picture of both my kids. And then I realised life gets a little bit more complicated with two little people around. I still tend to take tons of photos of them each week with my phone, but the quantity doesn’t always mean quality and also sharing part has proven to be much more difficult than expected. So this year I will just be showing monthly portraits of my littles and, whenever possible, I will be trying to add a portrait of them together; it will be fun to see how their relationship and the way they interact with each other will change in a year. Let’s start with January.

It’s week 38 and so glad I’m still managing to keep this project (the only project!) going. 

 Olivia: She doesn’t care about the mess in her room, but love tidying up her little kitchen. 

Vale: getting bigger and bigger everyday. And loving to seat on his bouncer when he’s awake.

It’s week 37 and it has been a tiring, yet exciting week…a new school for my eldest and a new morning routine for my youngest. And an early morning alarm clock we are still trying to adjust to!

Joining with Jodi from Practicing Simplicity.

It’s week 36 and it feels like summer is definitely over. It’s time to regain some sort of normality around here after the crazy month we had, settle back into a fall routine and catch up with all the projects that were put on hold!

Week 36 // Olivia: Loving this new playground we just discovered

Week 36 // Vale: Starting to stay awake a bit longer now

And that is what these two have been up to over the past month….

Week 35 // Olivia: Posing for mama with her favourite toy. She’s getting cuter every day.

Week 35 // Vale: He’s back home and bored already.

Week 34 // Olivia: Napping while waiting for mama at the hospital. 

Week 34 // Vale: He had the cutest little crib at the hospital.

Week 33 // Olivia: She’s a natural crafter. She lean to use the scissors a few weeks back and started cutting everything she could get hold of (after asking for our permission!)

Week 33 // Vale: He almost doesn’t fit in his cocoon anymore…this boy is growing too fast! 

Week 32 // Olivia: Enjoying wandering around her granddad’s garden. She loved picking fresh fruit and veg and eating them straight away.

Week 32 // Vale: First trip to the paediatrician. His umbilical cord fell off too soon and we panicked.
