Money Can't Buy Happiness, But It Can Buy Fish Which Is Pretty Much The Same Thing

 

[KatieBunky]

Thank you everyone
So it turns out, this baby thing kinda controls your life! Either that or I'm really bad at replying... I feel like she's growing up already, she slept through the whole night last night for the first time.

I kinda hoped you'd see this, Delapool!

Esmae's a great little thing, the cats aren't impressed, the fish are indifferent

Just the bits involving sleep, going anywhere and ... did I mention sleep? Grand news on sleeping through the night.

Although fond memories of going to the fish shop with them. Now bribery to the cafe or library is involved lol.

too bad I can't smell her through the monitor.
newborns smell so awesome...
it's that pheromone stuff makes us luv the little buggers...LOL




beautiful girl

 

[KatieBunky]

I can't even put her down so I can pee without her fussing, she just loves being cuddled. The other day I don't think I ate until 3pm because she just wouldn't let me, trying to reason with a 4 week old doesn't work though...
I'm looking forward to seeing what she chooses as her first fish :3

She does smell amazing & I cover her in baby powder after her baths so she's just om nom nom!

A little update...

Esmae is now 6 months & 1 week old! She now has vegetable purees & baby rice, she's growing up so quickly! She grabs everything & puts anything in her mouth, her favourite game is pulling hair & giggling when you say ow!

Much love to you all,

Katie

Thank you everyone! Her first tooth popped through yesterday too She's really slowed me down when it comes to fishkeeping though! I've just set up a 6ft×2ft×2ft & it's coming along really nicely, hopefully I can get some decent pictures of it when it's finished. Here it is about a month ago half decorated, it's full now with currently 9 fish from my old tank
