Happy Birthday Fiona!

birthday01

Yesterday we celebrated Fiona’s birthday. I can’t believe my tiny little baby is already a year old. Time sure flies now that I’m a mom. Wasn’t this just yesterday?

We had a good day. We had considered going out and doing something, like we did for Meredith’s first, but the weather [...]

Happy Holidays!

blog01

It has been a busy couple of weeks for us. We moved on the 18th, and then Christmas the next weekend. I haven’t found myself with much time for blogging. We’ve been enjoying being in our new house though. Oddly, it doesn’t feel all that different to me. Our friends we spend the most [...]

Wordless Wednesday: First step

Fiona took her first step the other day, on her nine-month birthday! I tried to get a picture of her standing/stepping, but she just wanted to crawl back to me and see the camera so you’ll have to use your imagination. I’ll have to take a video with the iPhone at some point, since [...]

Sisters

I love watching my girls play and grow together. Meredith delights in finding new ways to get Fiona laughing, and of course Fiona adores Meredith and loves to laugh with her. Sometimes Meredith is frustrated by how much Fiona wants to follow her around and see what she’s doing, but often [...]

Watch out world!

Fiona

Fiona has been getting up on her hands and knees and rocking since she was about five months old. She’s been creeping along on her belly and rolling around to get places since about that time. Last night, she figured out the crawling thing.

Nothing is safe anymore! [...]

This and That

Fiona is already over three months old. Unbelievable! She’s growing so fast and definitely not my tiny, squishy newborn any more. Now she’s my tiny, squishy baby. She’s very chatty, much more so than I remember Meredith being, though it’s hard to remember so long ago. She’s starting to be able [...]

First Haircut

Before

Before

Meredith has been needing her bangs cut for a while. I’ve been hesitant to do anything about them. For one, because I didn’t want to do it myself, but I don’t think she’d sit still while a stranger came at her face with scissors. Also, for a while at least, I think it [...]

18 Months!

It’s been a while since I last posted. We’ve had guests, and then been sick, and honestly, I just really haven’t felt like sitting down and writing much. I’ve been reading all my favorite blogs in my RSS reader, but rarely commenting. Partly too I read so many other blogs that are doing exciting [...]

Life with a one year old

Some tidbits from the past few weeks and more:

Meredith has been enjoying helping to dress herself for a while now.  I kind of wish I’d taken more notice on when it started, not that it matters but I like to write things like that down in her baby book.  Probably before she turned [...]

Walking, but not quite

Meredith is going through a bit of an odd stage. She doesn’t want to crawl. At all. For any reason. She also prefers not to be carried unless she’s tired. But she loves to walk. The thing is, she doesn’t seem quite confident in herself yet. She can walk on her own, she has [...]
