Hannah & Tom: One Year of Isla, Oasis Lullabies and Edinburgh Adventures
What the giver told us
I want to make a book for my sister Hannah and my brother-in-law Tom to celebrate their first year as a family with my niece, baby Isla, who was born in March. They live in Edinburgh. Hannah is a primary-school teacher and Tom is a bike mechanic. I want to include all the funny and sweet moments from this crazy first year. Definitely mention the brutal night feeds where Tom tries to soothe Isla by singing Oasis songs really badly. We need a page about Isla's first swim, and another showing Monty, their very protective border collie, standing guard next to the pram. Also include their exhausting but lovely Sunday walks up Arthur's Seat with Tom carrying Isla in the baby carrier, and finally, Isla taking her very first wobbly steps on the sand at Portobello beach!
Dedication
To Hannah and Tom, surviving and thriving in your first year of parenthood! Isla is so lucky to have you both. All my love, Sarah.
