Hopefully, with no more to come may I add!!!

Been rather crazy yesterday! Started the day really well - took Chloe to Sunday School and she seemed to love it (it should have been her nap time - but she was well hyper!) Came home and fed her lunch then decided to change her nappy….

Our nappy changing station has many gaps - and our little Chloe loves to put her feet/legs and hands/arms in these gaps.. Well, she got her legs stuck and then she panicked.. the more she panicked the more stuck her legs were and she was crazily trying to get her legs out, screaming her head off whilst trying to do so…

We eventually got her legs out and there was a bruise on her LHS side ankle… her RHS foot/leg seemed ok cos when we pressed on it - there was no reaction.. However, everytime we pressed or tried to make her stand up, she would cry when her left foot/leg had any pressure on it….

After about 1-2 hours, she would still cry when she put pressure on her left foot/leg.. so we decided to take her to A&E… Low and behold - after an x-ray - it showed a small fracture on her inner LHS lower leg…. The Dr explained that it could have happened because whilst she sprained her ankle trying to get out of the gap, it could have caused the otherside to fracture - as babies bones are very fragile. Thank God that the fracture then re-positioned itself in the correct place, cos if not, there would be a painful manipulation done!

In the end, Chloe had to have a cast done but with soft crepe bandage holding it in place.. 1 week later, it’s off to the paediatric bone specialist and put a hard cast on her leg… Currently, she’s ok with the cast and is slowly getting used to the new appearance of her leg and the weight!.. Yesterday, everytime she saw her leg, she would cry!!

The only difficult thing is now trying to get her comfortable, as she can’t bend her leg, so sitting on a flat surface seems difficult for her… Also, she’s at the age where she loves to stand and crawl.. and with this heavy cast- she’s getting frustrated! We can’t get this cast wet - so with her perspiring alot - ummm…. baths/toilet issues etc are gonna be a challenge - looks like plastic bags are gonna be one of her bestest friends for awhile!….

We’re off to Phuket again in March - so that’s gonna be fun with Chloe!!

Today, Chloe is 1 years old… How time has flown… I can still remember the whole event leading up to her birth and then her birth (a bit of a crazy time really!) Can’t really believe that baby two is on its way and I’ll be going through it again!!

However, our journey with Chloe so far, has been a blessing - and I wouldn’t want to change a thing! To be honest, time has flown by so quickly, that I can’t even remember the exact details unless I go through my blog and pictures again! She looks SOOOO different compared to when she was born! The only thing that’s similiar is the fact that her hair still won’t grow!! She’s started to stand up whilst being aided recently, she’s crawling much better now! But in general, she’s still a lazy little girl.. She’d rather sit on her bottom or whine to be carried!!

Made a birthday cake for her (not that we’re gonna be giving it to her, as we haven’t introduced egg yet!)… Still got more cakes to bake for her party on the weekend - so I’m gonna be pretty busy these next few days.. So until then…. Au revoir!

Chloe has never worn shoes, socks yes, but shoes no!… Well, she wore the fabric shoe/sock type a few times, but that’s not included because they are like socks!

Why hasn’t she worn shoes? Don’t really know why! Maybe because she couldn’t walk, hence, we never really thought about it!

All of a sudden, Mama suggested that we buy Chloe some shoes, as she was approaching her first birthday and this may encourage her to walk?!?! Well, Mama, Chloe and I went to a few shops and eventually came across some shoes… The first ones we picked were white in colour (as we thought, this would be easier to match her clothing), then we picked up a few others (mainly pink)..

Chloe was in the pram at this point and we proceeded to try the white pair of shoes….
*SCREAMS* Chloe went crazy as I tried to put the white shoes on her feet… she would kick, scream, tears came from her eyes and she wanted to run away (like the horror with the white bunny!)… But there was nowhere for her to go as she was strapped in!!!

Oh man! What happened there?! Could the white shoes have reminded her of the bunny experience?!?! Anyways, we had no luck in tying on the shoes, but we ended up buying 2 pinkish pairs so that she could ‘play’ with them at home and get used to them!

Well, so far, she has flicked them away when I put the shoes near her, she will run away from them, she will cry… She is petrified…

Today, Allan and I managed to get them on her feet - but she wouldn’t look at her feet and wouldn’t move them… She would just cry and want to be hugged! Don’t really know what’s going on - but if my girl doesn’t like shoes in the future, she’ll save so much money!! hehe
Let’s see how this shoe saga ends up!

Yay - today is open pressie’s day!!! Chloe especially loved the ‘ripping the wrapping’ game and ‘wearing her gifts’!! hehe

Went out with the family to Orchard, then spent the evening with frens at Andy’s.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas

Today, went out with the kids and my family…. But before that - we came across some of Gavo’s old bling bling, so thot we’d borrow it for a bit of a photoshoot!!! So check my cutie Chloe!!!

Shopping in town, I saw this absolutely fab little wintery Christmas hut (the types you would find in a snowy place) selling doughnuts, toffee apples, fudges and other festive foods and snacks… It was really cold and it was realyl great to eat something warm… I lurve the wintery feeling - better if it was snowing! And I lurve Christmas….
