How time is flying, I was looking through some photos of when Ellie was born and she was sooo tiny! Now she’s such a big girl, she’s filled out her clothes nicely and is ready to be on the move! She loves to stand and sit with our help and has great head control. I watch her when she’s having her tummy time and she really looks like she wants to crawl so bad. I love watching her develop and can’t wait for her to crawl - though once she is I am sure I will be wishing for her to stay still!!

We had a shocker of a night last night, possibly because she came down with a gunky eye yesterday. Today it’s looking heaps better and she’s having a nice long nap.

The medicine we got her, Brauer Colic Relief, seems to be doing a good job. She does get a little windy sometimes but she hasn’t had another crying episode like she had at the worst of it.

I can’t really remember what life was like before Ellie, it’s like she’s been a part of everything forever. I knew I would love her and think she was beautiful but nothing can really prepare you for how much you really do love a baby, I don’t think I have ever seen anything as beautiful as my daughter. I’m sure all parents feel like this, but my girl’s the prettiest

I sometimes wonder if you can love a second child as much as your first. I am sure you can, but when I look at Ellie I am so filled with love, joy and pride I can’t really imagine how you can feel all that again. Do people feel guilty when they have a second baby? Guilty that they’re not going to have as much time with the first as you have been having? Guilty that the second won’t get the same attention the first one did?  That’s what I worry about when it comes to having a second. Especially since we hope to have them close together. I don’t want Ellie or her brother or sister to miss out on attention or love.

Anyway, I should be doing something else while she’s still asleep.
