"We teach students, not subjects" - Bryan Dewsbury

A baby sits with her back to the camera, with a purple knitted blanket next to her, and looking at a laptop out of focus.

Mini-me is a rough critic 😂 I hope she'll be happy with the revised version of the first draft after @katharinehubbard.bsky.social and I meet up this week!

Yaaaay!! 👠👠🌈

A baby is facing away from the camera and looking at the Christmas tree which is out of focus.

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄whatever your day is like, I hope you find joy ❤️

A baby sat on Santa with an elf by his side. In the background is a Christmas tree with lots of lights

Little elf enjoyed seeing Daddy elf at work 🌲

(She did cry when she first met Santa, but she got over it pretty quickly and had her milk in the end!)

Congratulations 🎉 Sorry to see you go but I'm sure you'll be great at Durham!

Little one went swimming for the first time - tried to roll when on a float board and realised that's not a good idea when it was too late 🤦‍♀️ (we avoided any trauma but she was surprised to say the least!)

My baby rolled over from tummy to back for the first time today... She's finally figured out how to get out of tummy time 😂

We were joined with the cutest teddy bear the woods did ever see 🧸

To the volunteer's mum at the #HullWomensAid #charityshop who knitted this adorable lilac dog - this is my baby's favourite thing right now. She smiles and talks to it all the time 💜

Hello! Maybe you could start a Starter Pack for other #foundationyear #highereducation people to join? ☺️

I need to be brave and cut my baby's nails... She currently scratches at my face for comfort while going down for her nap.

It's mad to think my baby is 4 months old?!
