Gratuitously Cute Christmas-Themed Pic

Being the besotted first-time parents that we are, my wife and I dressed the wee one up in a little Christmas outfit, took a blast of photos of her, and then used one of them to make a Christmas card. (Whether we will keep this level of activity up for any further offspring is a subject of debate among my siblings. My elder sister, herself a mother of three, drew my attention to a poem by Ogden Nash: First Child…Second Child.)

Anyway, this is from that photoshoot, when Aoife decided that sucking her thumb was more rewarding than having her photo taken.
