She's a calm and content baby, mostly. Feeding time is a bit of a frustration at the moment, not sure if it's a blocked nose or indigestion that worries her, but she cries and refuses to feed, both the breast and the bottle... After much perseverance and sweet-talking I eventually get her to latch, and then she drinks fine... Bit baffled by this.
Mia just loves her baby sister, it's the sweetest thing to see, makes my heart just burst.
I felt quite sad packing away all Ella's newborn clothes, it really just goes by so quickly. But I'm looking forward to the next phase of baby girl's growth and development!
I'm not enjoying winter, hate feeling cold and having to dress in so many layers. Baby is dressed nice and cosy all the time, but when I undress her for nappy changes, I love to massage her little legs and toes, seeing way too little of them and her leggies have gotten so chubby since birth, too cute! ♥
I dressed Ella in a babygro that had been Mia's - and looked for a photo to show Mia how she looked, and just couldn't believe the resemblance between the two sisters, especially the Mohawk hair! I took a pic with the same teddy bear, and gosh, I think Ella's hair is even more sticky-up than Mia's was! Love it! ;-)
They are gorgeous! It is amazing how they look like the same baby.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried drops in the nose just before a feeding? I was too afraid to use it, but apparently you can use a bulb syringe to clear the nose and then they will feed a bit.
My little one had a thing about being held close and he would not feed unless he was glued to me.
Thanks, I'm going to do nose drops and use the NoseFrida to clear her nose, she doesn't sound snotty, but maybe there's a bit of an infection nonetheless.
DeleteAw, cute @ honeybear wanting to be held very close, that's special!

I have been wracking my brains for a little nickname for your gorgeous Ella. You have MiaMooi and the best that I could come up with is EllaBella, (Ella the Beautiful) Your girls are just so special and they are very lucky to have each other. My Jess is always saying that she wishes she had a sister. Love and hugs for you all. xx
ReplyDeleteAh Shazzie, so cute you should mention this, we've been saying "Ella-Bella-Bytjie"! :-)))
DeleteAnother idea somebody had was Ella-Engel.
Thanks for popping in!

Gorgeous girls. They look so alike. Are they wearing the same jumper?
ReplyDeleteI remember having to get half undressed in this weather to breastfeed, good grief, it was cold.
Yes, same suit! :-)))
DeleteYip, really freezing getting undressed and popping a boob out in this weather, our electricity bill is gonna be horrific, keeping our room's oil heater on 24/7.

Jess, dis horrible wat sleep deprivation doen... ek kon sweer ek het gister 'n comment gelos op jou blog, maar sien dit nou nie meer nie.... eeeeeeeek! Of ek is besig om koekoes te gaan, of daar is fout met Blogger... dalk het ek net die submission nie reg gedoen van die tablet af nie, who knows! Ek kom altyd na die tyd terug om te sien wat jy terug geskryf het op my comment... okay, ek probeer gou weer :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy 2 maandjies, Ella! Jy het twee pragtige dogtertjies, Jess, en hulle lyk definitief soos twee sussies - so baie na mekaar en net so pragtig soos hul mamma.
Daai baba-babbel van Ella is te oulik, love dit!
xx
Ag neeee Debs, jammer man, dis nie jy wat sleep-deprived mal raak nie, Blogger het definitief 'n issue met die comments, paar mense het al gese dat hul 'n reply los en dan verdwyn dit of post glad nie. Ai tog, frustrerend.
DeleteDankie vriendin, so verlief op my twee girlies!
xx
What cutie pies!!! :-) Definitely see the sisterly resemblance there ... they look very alike!
ReplyDeleteHaving had 2 winter babies I know exactly how cold it is for mummy to pop a boob out every few hours ...
Sisterly loving is very heartwarming :-)
Thanks Nusha!
DeleteEvery day I rejoice that we're one day closer to summer time again! ;-)
The sisterly love is super special. ♥
xx
Happy belated 2 months beautiful Ella! I adore the sisterly love, such a special bond they have. Growing up with a sister by your side must be awesome. Special, precious girls!
ReplyDeleteI'm also loving this sisterly bond that's already forming, I do hope it'll just get stronger and stronger and stay this special for always!
