Update 3 - First Week On Our Own - 14/02/2006

Oh my!!!!! - the first week on our own. Mum has now gone home (much to her relief) and Charlotte and I now need to learn to work together with no intervention.

Daddy's Birthday Breakfast 11/02/06

Day 1 was OK - not too many dramas (maybe we can do this!). Mind you she did sleep for most of the day which probably helped. So far Day 2 is shaping up to be OK - we have made it too 10am without too many dramas so feeling quite positive. I have now managed to juggle showering while watching a baby and have found the baby sling very helpful when putting out the washing and vacuuming.

All I can say is thank god for the pacifier - didn't think I would need it but now very grateful to have it. It works a treat. It is like an instant off switch for the crying (not that she does too much of it - thank god again - I am saying that a lot - have I just become suddenly religous?)

Cutest Baby Face

We have just completed a passport application form for Charlotte - she is taking her first international flight in May to Fiji - James will be there for a work conference and we are tagging along. Will be interesting to see how she goes on a 4 hour flight at 4 months old

.....speaking of old she is now 1 month old - can't believe how quick that time has gone. She is growing so quickly - we have now moved to the next size nappies and have gone from the 0000 size into the 000 size. She is now 4.25 kgs and 53 cm long - she is turning into a little rolly girl - I love it.

I booked Charlotte into her first school this week - I know it sounds crazy but you have to or you will not get a place - she is booked into pre-school (3 years old) for 2009......sounds like a life time away but I am sure it will come around really quickly. I am already dreading having to leave her there. I am sure it will be harder on me then her.

Well I better sign off for today - crying baby and all that - going to try and sneak in a walk while it is not raining - and hopefully it will also put her to sleep.
