I am a lurker on this forum. it is useful for help. I never think I can advise better than the people on here, maybe when Mini Me is Bigger I can ...

I have had a year with Mini Me and Me (just us plus friends and family)

and it is here, I hope you guys don't think it rude to think I would lurk and expect your praise I just thought it would be good at this time of year to show how great it is having Mini you's and how they grow and such forth.
It is candin, please excuse me.

That is really sweet! Hiwever the photo changes are so quick you can't sometimes take in what's on them? Maybe do a slower even a tiny bit version? Great anyways, not a criticism.

Oblivion by Grimes.

And our year has been hard, I just looked at a lot of the the threads and saw how many people were sad. It is hard to remember the beauty of life when things are rubbish with Money and Dads and doing everything on your own.

Thank you by the way.

Hey DinkFckArseGirls

That is a very good point, but I did worry it would be super long (there is about 2 thousand pictures ...)

Would you suggest taking some out?

(I hope you had a lovely holiday! x)

Hello. Thank you for the above comments. They are well nice (and helpful)

we did cuddle. When you are on your own with a baby and they wake up at 4 am or 5am and they don't go back to sleep (and then you go to work at 8am) there is lots of times for cuddles, baths and doing everything you can to make it be fun. Lest you go mad right!?! Note towel in hair a lot...) Being a lone parent can be hard, but it is also the best (I say that now, there is danger of me posting asking for help!)

I hope you all have a lovely holiday period.

:)

Im a bit behind when it comes to technology did you just run about 2000 photos as a very fast slideshow is that how it works?

(I noticed the towel but noticed how cute your daughter was more!!)

My phone won't let me watch it so I'll have to have a look later. I just wanted to say that I think it's a gorgeous idea! Your little girl will have these memories forever now . And I love her name too Smile

@Southwest It is not a slideshow, I downloaded a free software called Time Laspe Assember (for Mac) :)

Aww I loved it - v fast though, I wanted to have a proper nose and I liked your kitchen. The towel in the hair is true to life!

Lovely. Happy Christmas to you and your beautiful daughter. She looks so loved by you.

Wow, everyone is saying super nice things.

Thank you.

@TeaAndTinselMakeChristmasShine yes, I do very much love her, but I am human and there are points where I wish she wouldn't throw herself on the floor and kick me (a recent development)

@MatureUniStudent Kitchen is deceptive. it is narrow, forget to close a cupboard door and head usually gets hurt


I hope you all have a super new year .

xx
