Fat Lip

First ever "proper" injury.. great until she saw the blood :o)



It doesn't look so bad on this picture bit it was so swollen after she did it. Fell on her face with an almighty THUD! There was a lot of blood but lucky it could have been worse.

Good timing Eden, just before your photo shoot next week :o)

20 months

And now, we have a 20 moth old. Actually, about 2 weeks ago we had a 20 month old but nevermind!

So with the odd day of warm weather we have loved our favourite place, the park. Eden has a new found excitement for anything with wings.





Favourite activities include: Dancing, preferably Rhianna, Chris Brown, Lady GaGa, but most things will do. Eating Ice Pops or "bopbops" and mums make up.





New words include: "MINE" "NOOOO" "RICE" "FISH" "BAPPLE (apple)"


Can't wait to see what month 21 will bring!

Internet: Caution!

Well it's been a while but all I can say is you won't believe what happened...

Well I decided (cos I was bored) to do a little web search of my blog out of curiosity just to see what may appear and I am so glad I did. Turned out I found someone on Polyvore had set up a fake account and decided to create her perfect "family" This family consisted of a husband, 2 daughters and a son. The youngest daughter being MY daughter.... no joke.

What do you mean? I hear you ask.. well she had taken pictures of Eden from this blog and added them to her Polyvore account passing her off as her own daughter "Amelia" WTF?? This included updates on "Amelia's" personality, likes etc.. Can you imagine my reaction when I saw this. I felt sick, I can't tell you.. The worst thing I found was her profile picture, a Photoshopped image of all her children, herself and her husband with the words "Devett" family in the centre.

I am still in shock.

As you can imagine, I reported this immediately and thankfully the website where quick to remove the profile and all said links, however this experience has left me with a real sour taste in my mouth. I feel like Eden has been violated and in a way I feel like I have not done enough to protect my daughter. I know there are a lot of crazies out there and it has made me totally aware of how dangerous the web can be. I have considered giving up the blog.

Then I have got to thinking about the reason I am doing it. As a diary. So that i can show this to my daughter when she is older and she can see al the fun stuff we did - how she changed and grew and how our bond keeps getting stronger.

So I will continue to blog, with caution, I will keep on updating, and I will not be put off by one troubled individual, who I actually feel sorry for.
