Diary of a Newborn

Ollie Green

Have you ever stopped to wonder what life is like for a newborn baby?  What they are thinking, how they are pondering the world around them?  I did when my babies were born and so when Ollie came along I decided to document his early days, weeks and months as the Diary of a Newborn, seeing the world from his perspective.

Week 8

This hasn’t been the best week so far, I’ve still been feeling pretty rough – I’ve got a horrible cough and my nose is all full of goo.  Sometimes its really hard to breathe so I get a bit upset and cry.  I thought Mummy was going to try to make me feel better and … Read more

Week 2

by

Daddy has gone back to work this week, he says he needs to earn pennies because Mummy has been busy buying me new clothes  – well I can’t exactly go around in Little Bean’s old clothes can I?  She wore lots of pink, it doesn’t really suit me! Nanna is spending the week with us … Read more
