very long time.....indoor winter activities



Fiona's newest favorite winter activity is walking....up and down the stairs,  her sister takes her....She has two teeth and says 'mamma' and waves as she says, 'ba, ba'.  It is VERY hard for us all to believe that one year ago she was not with us yet in the flesh.  Her birthday is coming up on Feb 27th.  Her sleeping habits have improved of late, much to her parents' relief. Though that does not go for every night; she woke on the hour pretty much every hour last night, for instance.  but we take baby steps, so to speak. 

I just took this one this morning at breakfast, with both girls in their jammies, just after Cecelia requested that baby be put on her lap, and just before baby fell out of her lap.  Didn't capture that moment.  Cecelia is very sweet with her little sister. Today in the car when Fiona was crying, Cecelia reassured her, "Almost home, baby, no worry." 
One of their little games.  Motherhood is just starting to get easier, with the girls more able to play with each other, or at least occupy each others' interest, for longer stretches of time.  I promise to post more often!
