My Best Excuse Ever

My Best Excuse Ever

Image by André Hofmeister
Yesterday morning, I looked at quite a lot of good photos all over the internet. After that, I decided to go out and take pictures that day myself. I even tweeted about it to give me some more motivation to actually do it.

The next few hours were filled with holding my daughter in my arms and just admiring her. Yes, that's me on our sofa, still in my pyjamas, at 3 pm. It is amazing how much having a newborn baby slows me down in everything I do and how much I like it that way. I am on parental leave for another week and will see how it all works out when I am back at work.

I took some one handed pictures of Lotta while I was just sitting on the sofa, and since she conveniently hid her face in some of them, I can upload it here to show you that I was indeed taking pictures (just not getting out). But we all managed to do that together later in the afternoon.
