365 days of Gabriel and Charlotte - my velcro baby

i currently have a velcro baby that is attached to me all day, everyday. she doesn't want anyone but me and sitting next to me is not good enough. she needs to be in my arms or on my laps.  who needs to go to the gym when you have a velcro baby? i've got pretty good biceps without doing any weights. separation anxiety is meant to peak around 9 months and this girl is only 7 months. i know this phase shall pass too and i sure hope it will pass soon. while my biceps are looking great,  my back and my knees are not feeling great.

365 days of Gabriel and Charlotte - Easter egg hunt with our daycare friends

one of the mums at daycare organised a picnic at the park today. as it is so close to Easter, we decided to organised an Easter egg hunt for the kids too. everyone brought some Easter eggs and their own basket. it was Gabriel's first Easter egg hunt and he had so much fun. now i remember when Gabriel's obsession for kinder surprise chocolate egg started. it was easter last year.

 

365 days of Gabriel and Charlotte - first of many chest infections

just like her brother, Charlotte has her first chest infection just as she turned seven months. it all started with a runny nose last Friday and then a cough and it turned into a chest infection. i wasn't going to take her to the doctor knowing full well she'll be given antibiotics but i also didn't wanna take my chances. the last time i did, Gabriel's chest infection turned into bronchiolitis and we had to hire a nebuliser for him. here's hoping the antibiotics will help clear her crackly chest and Gabriel doesn't catch it and get sick too. 

365 days of Gabriel and Charlotte - first taste of daycare

Charlotte had her first little (45 minutes) taste of daycare today. i took Gabriel to the local YMCA for his first kindergym and there was a creche there where i can leave Charlotte during the duration of the class. surprisingly she did quite well. the minder told me she only started to get upset about five minutes before i picked her up. they said she was happily playing on the floor with the toys and they even managed to squeeze a few smiles out of her. i wonder if she'll be happy to spend an hour there again next Tuesday?
