My kids are growing, time is so quick!

I can't believe that within the span of 2 years, I've got 2 kids already. Elise just turned 10 months old during the last day of April. Alexandre is now exactly 27 months old.

Alexandre was made in Bali, Indonesia during our second meet up of my husband when we were just new in the relationship.

Elise was made in Spain during our first trip as a family of 3.

We learned we were pregnant with Alexandre when we were in El Nido, Palawan. With Elise, we learned it here in France after a week of my birthday.

Both pregnancies were both Cesarean delivery. With Alexandre, the labor took more than 12 hours. I suffered a lot. With Elise, it was about 7 hours. I recovered quickly with Elise but not with Alexandre.

Alexandre was 10 months old when we learned we were pregnant with Elise. It was difficult for me and I felt bad for Alexandre. He was a very clingy baby and breastfeed a lot. I was in pain for my boobs as teeth started to grow already. We started to give him milk in a bottle.

I let Alexandre know that there is another baby coming. I let him kiss my tummy. At 13 months, he needed to sleep away from me and sleep in the same bed with his father. He was getting heavy and I had difficulty taking care of him while I had my big tummy. I had trouble getting sleep already and suffered a lot in my second pregnancy.

I really miss him so much being cuddly and clingy with me. I miss him when he was so small.

To be honest, I'm still surprised now that he is taller. He is actually more than half of my height already. Well, I'm a petite mama, about 4'11" so it is expected that my kids will be taller than me. My husband is 6 feet tall.

Elise has 4 teeth already, 2 up and 2 down. So, yeah, I am in pain already and I always scream when she bites it.

We are starting to give her milk in a bottle. It's funny that she is trying to hold the bottle and drink. I see them both enjoying their milk.

When Elise was little, Alexandre was more clingy to his father. He stopped being clingy to me feeling like I rejected him or he got jealous.

When I was recovering, I make sure to give bath to Alexandre because that is the only time I can bond and get close to him. To let him know that I still care for him. I always talk to him my feelings and how I miss him. I even said sorry to him many times that I cried.

Before, he learned to kiss me on my cheeks. Then, he stopped kissing me and moved away from me. I was hurt. I cried.

We have guests right now, so 4 of us are sleeping in the same room. He starts being clingy with me and kissing me. He is happy to see me in the same bed.

Yes, I still miss him so badly. I tell him that I am so proud he is a big boy now. I am proud that he tries to take care of Elise. He tells me when Elise starts to cry. He truly cares for his sister.

I can't wait when Elise learns to walk. That means I need to chase 2 toddlers in the next few months. Hahaha!

Hhh
