Charlottes 7 month update!

Now that Charlotte is 7 months, she is closer to being a toddler than a baby anymore. I dont no wether im happy or sad about it. Shes growing up into a lovely little girl but on the other hand im trying to enjoy each moment because she is our last baby.

Milestones!

• She can roll over.
• She is almost crawling.
• She says mama, dada, baba, nana and hiya.
• We are trying baby led weaning and she loves broccoli.
• She is in size 5 nappies.
• She wears 9.12 month clothes.
• She still has exzema.
• She is a complete mamas girl.

Waiting on her hospital appointment!

Her eczema had gotten pretty bad and ended up getting infected. The doctor changed her cream and prescribed her an antibiotic. We are now waiting on a hospital appointment to get some tests done to figure out whats causing the eczema to flair up. I hated seeing her with her face so red and sore so il be glad when we can get her better.

On the move!

She is so close to crawling now. She is getting her kness under her so we are just waiting in the next few weeks for her to get up and get going. Sofia didnt really crawl she just walked but we think Charlotte will be our little crawler.

Charlotte's 5 month update!

This month i have noticed a massive change in Charlotte, she is getting her own little personality and becoming so alert.

We got her photoshoot pictures back and she looks so adorable in them. One thing thats so different from Sofia as a baby is Charlotte looks so much more like Matt.
Shes a very quiet little girl but she can be quite fiesty when she wants something, so im thinking she isnt going to be a pushover when she gets older.

Milestones:

• She can now say dada 😊
• Shes in 6-9 month clothes.
• She loves yoghurts and ice cream the most.
• She can almost sit up on her own and roll over. 
• She has 5 7oz bottles a day.
• She is so smiley all the time.

Eczema:

Charlotte has pretty bad eczema now, it got to the point where we could only bath her in water. We tried so many things and finally the doctor gave us an emoliant and its amazing. Her skin is so much better now and not all red and patchy. I hope its not going to be an on going thing and t clears up soon.

Charlottes 4 month update!

Charlotte is now a third of the way through her first year of life! I dont no where 4 months have gone it seems to be going by so much faster than it did with Sofia.

Milk allergy!
About a week ago Charlotte had a rash with alot of dry skin show up on her head and face. I kept using e45 cream thinking it was just eczema. We took her into the chemist and i spoke to the pharmasist who thought it was that too so we got the aveeno cream which is amazing. She had also been off her feeds and was hardly drinking alot so i brought her into the doctors, he told us she had an allergic reaction to the new formula. So we switched her to cow and gate and within hours she was drinking loads and her rash came down alot.  

Milestones:

• In all her 6-9 month clothes.
• She has 7 or 8 spoonfulls a day.
• She has 5, 6oz bottles of cow and gates 1st formula a day.
• Shes awake more during the day now.
• She sleeps from around half 11 till half 7.
• She always says mama, she is a complete mamas girl.
• She wants to up looking around all the time.
• She is in size 3+ nappies.

Starting a vlogging channel?

For the last 3 or 4 years i have watched family vloggers on youtube and loved seeing their everyday life. It has become sort of a dream of mine to start my own vlogging channel with Matt and the girls. Im just so nervous to start i think its awkward just speaking to the camera or filming when people are around, but i know it will get easier over time.

 Im not expecting a huge following or for people to really watch the videos all the time but even if in a few years i can look back and see how our family has changed and watch all the memories it will be worth it. I worry about putting my kids on the internet but im glad Matt has been involved with youtube for years so he knows how to edit and when not to film.

Im such a procrastinator so i just need to do it now. I want it to be something i stick at and make a commitment to do it every week. Hopefully now the girls are feeling better we can get our first video up.

Stay tuned.......

Charlottes 3 month update!

 Charlotte is now 3 months old and is 14 weeks. This month has been such a big month for changes she is not like a tiny baby anymore.

She is still our quiet, content little girl. We always call her our little smiler, she is always smiling and laughing, she is just so happy all the time.

She got her first tastes of baby food the last couple of days and absolutely loved it. We gave her the milupa sunshine orange. She has always had trouble pooing so the extra bit of food has actually helped her alot. Ive started to give it to her around 1pm and given her a few spoon fulls just to get her used to it.

She is non stop smiling now and has started to chuckle she has the cutest laugh. It makes it more rewarding to see them smiling back at you especially when you are totally exhausted.

Milestones:

• She is in mostly 6-9 month clothes.
• She weighed 16lb 7oz at her 3 month check up.
• She is in the 98th percentile for her height.
• She has 5 bottles a day of 6 ounces.
• She is in size 4 nappies.
• She had her first tastes of baby food 22-02-2016.
• She loves to play in her jumperoo.
• She sleeps from around 12am till half 8 every night.
• She had her christening on the 6th of February 2016.
