Babies And Beaches: And then there were two...

What a whirlwind it's been. Basically from the day of the birth we've had visitors: grandparents, aunties, and good friends. Though it's been incredibly nice to have so many helping hands around to hand off baby when I needed a break, it's also been a lot of negotiation of many different schedules. And as soon as it started, now it's all over and Gabi and I are alone at last.

Already we're getting on a bit of a schedule (or so I like to tell myself.) Spending pretty much every waking moment with my little bundle is both wonderful and challenging and I'm sure we're both going to learn a lot about each other in the days ahead until our next visitor arrives in the beginning of Feb (Here's to you D Baxter :-)

I do have some help in a wonderfully sweet lady who comes over for a couple of hours four days a week to help out and keep me sane. So nice to have this time to myself to just get away, take a yoga class, go surfing, etc.

I'm sure I'll have some new stories about our alone time in the future. Until then here's a collection of pics with some of our visitors:

Ok this is an older picture but I had to include it as I think every once in a while you need a crazy baby face pic. Gabi really did like the tree, I promise :-)

The girls

Lore came from Texas and Auntie B from Ireland. Gotta hand it to the Czechies, the girls do travel!

Gabi started rolling over a few weeks ago. Ok, she's only done it three times but I still think she's gifted. Unfortunately I only got the second half of this one on film.
