Kids

Avie has turned 4 months!!  Crazy, crazy how fast time flies … although I think I say that each time!! 

Life is slowly starting to settle for me as a new mother and those challenges of having a little baby are starting to slightly ease away.

This month has been a very happy one as a full blast of giggles come pouring out of her little being. Her smile tends to melt away all worries of a hard day and her eyes can stare right into our souls!

She is such a joyous addition to our family and she has given everyone a new spark full of life!

Avalee’s second month has been an exciting one for all of us. This month we travelled with her internationally for the first time. 

This month alone she went on 4 flights, 2-speed boat rides as well as multiple horse carriage rides.

She adapted well to sleeping in different cots all over Bali, Lombok and Gili Islands. She spent a large majority of her day being a pouch baby in her ErgoBaby Carrier and whilst she sometimes cried in annoyance when we put her in the baby carrier YET AGAIN.

She did do really well sleeping in there by her daddy, whilst we got on with exploring new destinations.

It has been great to have your Daddy helping out with you. Our holiday was almost 3 weeks long so I got a bit spoilt with his help.

You are such a sweet little baby girl and we love every day with you!

How did it happen?  How did we get to 2 months old so fast? 

Your newborn “look” has vanished and in her place, we have a pretty chubby little bubba!

Those rolls on those legs are pretty pronounced and the cheeks have filled out beautifully.

We love watching you grow and learn about the world around you.

We are all in love with this little person and we are so excited to be taking her on her first overseas trip in slightly less than a week.

Sweet 2 months old baby girl can you please slow the days right down?

Ms. Avalee-Rose is growing so super fast!!  I can’t believe that this little person used to live inside my tummy. 

Our little girl is picking up weight fast, so much more so than her sisters used to at this age. Which means that nearly every day she is looking slightly different!

In a way, I’m pretty sad that my newborn baby is changing so fast.

She is my last baby and I want to hold on to that newborn stage for as long as possible, but at the same time, I’m happy that she is a good feeder and that she is gaining some healthy weight.

She totally fills our lives with loads of joy … in between the challenges and lack of sleep!! haha
