We’ve just come home from a wedding dinner… Nice setting and decorations…

It was Chloe’s first wedding dinner – and she was generally a good girl – sleeping most of the time there, so that mummy and daddy could eat the food! Unfortunately, she cried crazily at dessert time and we had to leave early! Oh well – dessert too late in the evening is not good for the hips, so nevermind!!!

Michael Jackson The King Of Pop dies at the age of 50 after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest in Los Angeles – That’s what I read this morning… What a complete shocker! I know he had a history of health issues, and 4 of his concerts last month were postponed – showing conerns to the fans, but I never expected this!

I love his songs – especially his younger days – The Jackson 5….

Michael Jackson was meant to start his ‘comeback’ concerts in the UK on 13th July – and I was hoping to goto one of his concerts…

Michael Jackson death is going to be a worldwide griefing affair.

RIP The King Of Pop

Yesterday afternoon was “Me time”… Thanks to Huppy – he looked after Chloe whilst I had a little retail therapy, and he even cooked me a fab dinner – his steak!

Whilst doing some shopping – I came across some make-your-own mobile phone accessories and I just had to get one!!! Mine was starting to get a little tatty – so why not eh!!!

DnAnC…. Unfortunately, there weren’t any small ‘n’ letters.. but hey, nevermind! So in the future, I’ll have to re-do my mobile phone accessory to DnA ABC! (DnA = Daisy n Allan, ABC = Andre, B, Chloe) – As for B, not sure yet – Benedict for a boy, if girl not sure yet – that’s assuming we have 3 children!!!???

This morning, we took our baby swimming – well sort of swimming!

*Totally random, that Maggie should comment about Chloe swimming after looking at the “superwoman flying pose”!!

Anyways – back to the topic of swimming! Yeah, we took Chloe to this place which specialises in baby swimming… We wanted to see whether she would enjoy it and this place was more of a “controlled” environment, as opposed to having many variables (?!?!) – such as variable water temp, other kids scaring Chloe by jumping into the water, screaming etc..! – so we went for a trial…

Upon arriving there, we checked the place out and then laid Chloe on a surface. One of the ladies in this place stretched Chloe’s arms and legs – i.e. a warming up session! After this, we completely undressed Chloe (she could have worn a swimsuit – but we don’t actually have one!). But don’t worry – we had checked prior to booking! They normally recommend the child being naked – not sure why tho, cos we didn’t ask! So our baby swam au-naturale!

They put this inflatable rubber ring around her neck (Poor child was probably thinking ‘what is mum and dad doing to me now?!?!’) and put her in this bath-tub like thing, filled with warm water, balls, toys… Chloe started to tear-up as the lady tried to put her in the tub – so we had to switch hands asap – so that I put her in the tub… I put her in the tub and within seconds, she was kicking away! She loved it – or DnA seemed to think so anyways! She was twisting, turning, kicking front and back, using her hands to paddle… So cute!

Can’t wait until she’s 6 months to take her swimming, I think she’s gonna lurve it! – (I’ve read that children under 6 months shouldn’t swim in chlorine cos it’s bad for their skin)… So until then, she’ll just have to enjoy her bubble baths at home! Oh yeah – she completely zonked out after the whole event!

Recently, Chloe has been able to roll onto her front… She loves it! and keeps doing so. The problem is that she can’t roll back onto her back! After awhile, she would cry to indicate to us that she wants to revert back to the original position – which is on her back… And we give her a helpping hand. This would not normally be a problem because we are there and when she sleeps, she would lie on her side…. Until…. The previous night, on the baby monitor – we could hear Chloe making some panic noises… We went into her room to find her in a “superwoman” flying pose, chest down, face down! I can only assume that she was far too tired to lift her head, or tilt her head to the side to expose her nose/mouth and subsequently had problems breathing! Oh my! Last night, the same happened – so we have been waking up to check up on her!!!

Another random thing Chloe is “in to” is trying to stuff her whole hand into her mouth or suck her fingers/thumb!! Thank goodness, she can’t put it all in yet – cos she would surely choke! Currently, she’s got a habit of putting things in her mouth and giving it a good “ice-cream type of lick”! Looks funny cos she looks like a baby dog licking away!!! Bit gross though cos the artefact, material ends up well soggy… But it’s good for her to learn textures etc – so we’re not too bothered!!

Below Chloe is trying to demonstrate the “superwoman flying poses” but with her face up (non-life-threatening in this case!) – without trying to get too tired… and how many fingers you can fit in your mouth act…!

I’m so happy – we have another addition to our family…. Chloe has someone to play with!!!

My sister gave birth to a baby girl Anais (pronunced Anay) – Anais means Grace in French and God has shown favour in Hebrew) this morning, after a long labour mission!!! Anais weighs a healthy 8lb 4oz or 3.75kg!!! Wish I could be there now!

CONGRATS!!!
