Adam O Caoimh

I couldn’t let today go by without posting some of our little boy on his first birthday! birthday son! Mom and Dad love you to bits. Hopefully you won’t be too embarrassed by this post in years to come!

He’s grown up so fast in front of our eyes and developing into a proper little boy it’s amazing. I’d hardly recognise the tiny little baby he was just a year ago.

Baby likes Wispa

Monday, October 8th, 2007 by Donncha

My little , , likes the new bars. Well, he enjoyed throwing this one around and almost got it into his mouth before I stopped him!

‘Course, I gobbled it down shortly afterwards and it was every bit as good as I remembered!

Bars were on sale in and the UK up until 2003 when they were discontinued but a recent “Bring Back ” campaign convinced to start making them again! Hooray!

My Happy Baby

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007 by Donncha

Little passed another major milestone in his life yesterday. Last night he slept in his own room for the first time!

He slept soundly until about 3am, woke and made a bit of fuss until he fell asleep again until about 6am when he was enough to kick about his cot for a while until we got up and fed him.

Just over a week ago he started on solid . That was fun!

Adam and his baby soother

Saturday, May 26th, 2007 by Donncha

is 5 weeks old today! Last Wednesday we saw his first , or perhaps it was trapped wind because he was just after feeding but it was a beautiful sight to behold. He has smiled since too, and was especially cheerful this morning!

loves his though. He sucks on it like Maggie out of the Simpsons does. Non-stop and with feeling!
If a or dummy isn’t nearby and it’s available, a hair dryer works wonders for relaxing him. The sound soothes him and he can go from screaming the house down to docile and a gurgling in seconds when the hair dryer is switched on. It’s magic.

Technique: This is a high key portrait created using two layers.
1. Original image is the bottom layer.
2. Duplicate that layer.
3. Convert top layer to b/w using channel mixer.
4. Apply Gaussian blur to the top layer. I used a 75 pixel wide blur.
5. Change mode of top layer to screen.
6. Add white layer mask to top layer and reveal eyes from original image by painting over them with a black brush. Use an opacity of 10%.
7. Merge layers and save. Layers should be separate when resizing so you can unsharp mask the bottom layer.

Hope that is of use!
