Three months and counting.

Three months old today.  Hard to believe.  Such a cliche but time really does fly (and yes, I am having fun).  We went to our first mother and baby cinema show - now that would have been my idea of Hell 12 months ago.  We watched Wall Street, and while Chloe pretended to know what was going on I don't think she could really follow it.  Still, she was very well behaved and I got to watch the whole movie relatively undisturbed.  

I was pretty impressed John & Jess were there with 1 week old Isabelle, hopefully she'll be as well behaved for them as Chloe is for us.  Sometimes I really do think Alex and I have horseshoes up our asses cause we've led pretty damn lucky lives, things are good.  We must have been fucking saints in our previous life if you believe in Karma!

A lot can change in 10 days....

We got home yesterday from our 10day trip to Canada - Chloe's first ever holiday.  I think we both had a fair amount of trepidation about the flights but Chloe was a star.  She pretty much slept through all the flights (we didn't even have to drug her....not that we ever considered that of course....)

Chloe was THE centre of attention, we've got some serious baby-lovers in the family, her Auntie Kate being one of the worst offenders.  Many pictures were taken, lots of cooing was done and the occasional furry gilet was worn.  Some highlights include:

Being rucked for a lovely, if surprisingly hot, walk along the rocks near Peggy's Cove.

Learning to suck her thumb.  She sure jams that thing all the way in.

She's also started sleeping through the night.  It just happened all of a sudden, the first few nights in NS were pretty wakeful then she just slept til at least 6am every night thereafter.  Brilliant. She'll soothe herself to sleep with her thumb now so we don't have to rock her to sleep for 45 minutes every night.  That's a bit of a relief.

I really need to keep more up to date with this blog, trying to summarise 10 busy days is a little bit tricky.  I'l just say that we had a lovely time in a crowded house full of family, great food, lots of laughs, a very cute baby, a yappy dog and leave some pics to say the rest.
