Yes

I haven't had the heart to sell my swing YET. And Charlotte can still nap in it comfortably at 6 months old and 8.3kg or so. What the hell, right? I love this swing !!

Growing up

Man, time is just flying by. See Charlotte? She started pulling herself up to stand just as she turned 6 months old! And yes, she can already crawl very well and also get into a sitting position all on her own and she can sit independently already!

To think just months ago, she was a newborn lying on the bed .. Now, the little Aunty can't be left on the bed unattended at all. See her little rascal face !!

Emily and Calista received their hairbands in the mail today. Emily LOVES hers. She's already asked me whether she can wear hers to ballet class tomorrow.

All I want for Christmas ..

Is my two front teeth .. Goes that really cute Christmas song.

Lauren's other front tooth finally came out yesterday. She still looks adorable!

Down with the flu

My 3 youngest girls are all down with the flu. Thankfully, just a running nose - no fever. Charlotte isn't cranky baby. The first night she was rather uncomfortable with her running nose but after that she didn't really bother. She is really a sweetheart.

Got her a new hairband with this ginormous flower .. She doesn't yank stuff off her head so she wears it quite nicely on her head. Poor baby. The things she is forced to wear. Lol!

The common cold

Is the bane of every parent I know. Especially those of us with young kids - babies and toddlers. It started with Emily. She had a running nose first. Then Calista caught it. Then Charlotte. Last night, with her running nose, Charlotte could hardly fall asleep. And when she did, finally, it didn't take her long to get up. Oh, she would fuss w wee bit then she would think it's play time. And she would be crawling and clambering up and down till she felt sleepy and would knock out again. This happened all through the night. By morning, I was a zombie. A walking zombie.

Here is a picture to show you and remind me what she looks like sleeping peacefully. I hope that happens tonight. I brought them all to the pediatrician this afternoon. And the running nose medication CAUSES DROWSINESS! awesome !!

I had given her the afternoon dose then promptly rushed to watch the last installment of the Harry Potter series and she was out like a light the whole movie in my arms. It was an awesome movie. I was dead tired but I still managed to enjoy the movie immensely !!

Shopping overload

See, this is what happens when you shop and shop online.

I accidentally bought the SAME dress in 2 different colours. Same design. Same size. Sigh. Just bought on 2 separate occasions. All just before Charlotte was born. Thankfully, the colors are still different. It could've been worse .. Same colour and same design.

She looks cute in both :p

Whizzing by

Yeah, time that is. Can't believe she's gonna be 6 months old tomorrow! The time has flown by. She is such an easy going baby! I have a breeze w her. Of course it doesn't mean she does not bawl or cry. She does. But seldom. She's not fussy and grumpy.

She's not 6 yet and she can sit by herself unassisted. And the amazing thing is she can get herself into a sitting position all on her own. She has been able to crawl quite proficiently for some time now so she figured on quite early to sit from there. I caught her pulling herself up to STAND the other night. Man, my baby wants to grow up !!! *sob*
