I think I enjoy eating, but with little Róisín, no matter what she says, it’s a whole other level of pleasure…

She’s shooting black and white film, and in the age of digital images, her photos do capture a mood that I miss. Below are: 1. Áine in the Dingle shop 2. Ailish 3. Claire making coffee 4. My nephew Ryan with my mother in the background. I think she’s showing talent!

Here’s a video of Wren’s Day in Dingle, yesterday…

It’s amazing how babies know what tastes good to them from such an early age. Róisín likes banana, apple, pear, avocado, broccoli, and of course the cereals we’ve been feeding her. This was a surprise though – she hates carrot!

Then, Róisín arrived with her mother, and things got messy quickly.

I think the following series tells the story:

It must be said that Róisín didn’t have any interest in eating it, but never underestimate how much fun it is to stick your fingers in cream!

This video shows Róisín taking her first bit of solid food – Biodynamic cereal made by Holle. Perhaps for non-parents, it will be of little interest, but for me this first taste reminded me once again of the immense value and joy of food. We take it so for granted, yet something as simple as a bit of ground grain can be an exciting and overwhelming experience…

I do promise this will not turn into a baby blog (although I can’t promise Róisín won’t make the odd appearance!)

baby2The time of birth was Saturday, May 9th at 8:52pm. 

We’re going to name her Róisín Elena – the Elena for Sant’Elena, the island in Venice where my partner was born. 

The new baby weighed 3.3kg, and was quite tall. She barely fit into her newborn clothes.

It was a long labour, but all was well in the end. We’re both delighted!

I can go to bed happy.

I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who have wished us well over the pregnancy including our families, our friends, our customers, the people following over on Twitter and the readers of this blog!

There’s new little ice cream eater in this world!

And if her mother and father are anything to go by, she’ll have some appetite!

Below is a short video.
