Happy ½ Birthday!

Month Four: Adventure Awaits!

Margot’s fourth month was all about excitement! At just four months old she experienced her first holiday, and we flew to the gorgeous Dominican Republic. It was a bit of a risk, going on an 8-hour flight with a four month old and a nearly 4 year old, but Margot and her brother Albie were absolutely amazing! Of course, Margot wanted me to join her on the adventure, so we spent most of the flight walking around with her in the sling. She was so happy and excited for the fun ahead! Albie and Margot had a blast with all the entertainment, especially the pool. This will be a core memory for all of us.

Month Five: Living with Allergies

Things got a bit different in the fifth month. Margot’s allergies started to cause some worries, and we were concerned about potential reactions to dairy, kiwi, and peanuts. We consulted with experts like a dietician and our GP to try and figure out a plan. They recommended starting Margot’s weaning process early, around 4.5 months, to introduce her to different foods under controlled conditions prior to her allergy appointment in the coming month. We hope this will help reduce the risk of future allergies. Margot’s favourite foods right now are avocado, dairy-free yoghurt, and fruit – Yum Yum!

Month Six: Halfway To One!

Can you believe it? Half a year has already passed! These months have flown by, and I’m still in awe. How can my little girl be 6 months old already? This month has been pretty relaxed. We’ve been enjoying the weaning process, and Margot has already tried over 40 foods! This month has also made me realise how amazing Albie is as Margot’s big brother. Her face lights up every time he enters her sight, and he still gets the most giggles and the biggest smiles from her. His love for her is so comforting. I can’t wait to see this bond getting stronger and stronger as Margot grows up and follows in his footprint’s.
