Well a few days on (sorry for the hiatus) and we are still at the almost walking phase. It is trying on our nerves as we watch Fiona come close to whacking herself on all sorts of things from new and perilous heights. It's wonderful to watch her get the hang of it though, holding on less and less and balancing on her own more and more. Not too long from now she will have been out in the world longer than she was inside...sort of a strange milestone but meaningful to me.
She really likes being read to and has some favourite books already: "Time for Bed" (see picture) and "Chica Chica ABC's" The latter was from Devon's cousin Lisa and co, I imagine that particular rhyme is still in their heads too.
She still doesn't quite sleep through the night as regularly as we would like but I'm sure that those days will slip away too. Last night she woke up three times, not really hungry, but wanting comfort. Neither of us (me or Devon) has much in the way of parental will power at night so she seems to be ending up with us on the rough nights. Each night we steel ourselves to be strong about her cries and whimpers, we're pretty much suckers at this point but are OK with it.
Not much else going on here, just staying warm and looking forward to spring travels.
Love
Louise
