Dear Olive,
I’ve thought about starting this blog for a long time. I know there are better writers out there, better photographers, mums with more interesting lives. But I must still think I have something to contribute in blogland ... or perhaps it's mostly for me, a project. I guess it’s for you too. A record of your life. I wish my Mum kept a diary or something for me to read back on now. I would give anything to know how she was feeling. I was her first born child too. What a profoundly life changing event having a child is, something difficult to describe or measure.
On the 24th of October 2009 you changed everything for me.
People often comment on your frown, as if it’s a bad thing. But I love it, it was the first look you ever gave me.

You made me cry! That is the sweetest thing ever.
Gorgeous! I, too, wish someone had kept a journal for me to read, so I'm doing something similar for my little one (albeit in pen and paper because I'm a pretty inconsistent blogger).
Oh and;
October 24 is a superb birthday to have!
So special isn't it? My first born is now 7!
I've just read your entire blog. Must do the dishes.
funny how we started around just the same time - i think your blog is such a wonderful tribute and better than any diary! x
And what a beautiful record you are making.
