A Contented House with Twins

A Contented House with Twins unites the UK's leading baby expert, Gina Ford, and the highly regarded television presenter Alice Beer, a mother of twin girls. Discovering you are expecting twins is both an exciting and a thoroughly terrifying prospect. Within weeks of the arrival of her beautiful daughters, Alice found that she was 'screaming out for a routine' and craving the knowledge of mothers who had been through it with two. This book is the result of those cries. Alice's front-line experience of coping with twins is combined with Gina's highly successful parenting advice and, for the first time, her groundbreaking routines, specially adapted for twins. Together, they tackle the practical and emotional aspects of parenting two babies, including: - what you can expect in a multiple pregnancy - how to feed two at once - what to do when they each want a different story or both want a hug - how to cope with everyday practicalities: shopping, bathtime, and much more. Alice's humorous insights and Gina's essential advice, tips, support and successful routines will guarantee that parents enjoy their twins and get their lives back.

so with all the fuss over photoshop's new "content aware fill" feature I'd really been thinking about picking up a copy. But after doing a little reasearch online I learned that the program I currently use, GIMP, already has that same feature!

I shot this yesterday and liked the photo but hated the ugly splotch of sun hitting Rachel's lip. Cloning and healing wasn't giving me the results I wanted so I tried out GIMP's version of content aware fill. Selected the area with the lasso tool and bam, the ugly bit was completely gone! No extra layers or constant reselecting of areas to clone. I probably need to go back and get rid of all the light spots on her chest as well but this will do for now.

The best part is GIMP is free! I started using it a while back since my old desktop ran on Linux and this program was included during the install. But it runs just fine on my MAC and windowz platforms as well.

We have a happy little girl. She has her moments, of course, but in general we're extremely lucky to have a calm, contented little baby.

We've been loosely following the teachings of the one and only (and much derided) Gina Ford. We've found her Contented Little Baby book to be very useful even if we haven't followed it to the letter. Ruby has a routine and it's working wonderfully well.
