Back to real life

New Found joy in playing oursiide, the warm weather helps.


Fiona's upgraded car seat, now she can look forward in the car!


So we've been settling in for the better part of three weeks and Fiona is doing well though she has yet to sleep through the night. This has been somewhat exacerbated by a little cough and the long daylight hours here as we head towards the solstice. As always despite the lack of sleep we will be keeping her and continue to love her. Fiona has been walking exclusively since our return and she continues to show her mighty will, sometimes at the most inopportune moments. Yesterday I was at the grocery store trying to talk to the baker about a cake for a party...Fiona spotted a display with a large cartoon character in the store and nodded her head furiously pionting and climbing up mummy in an attempt to get to it. A few gentle "no's" led to screaming and we left the store withough making any headway ont he cake. Oh well, I suppose that this is the start of discipline for us. Devon and I are venturing into very unfamiliar waters here, and any advice would be appreciated.

more soon
love

The car seat looks good. Shouldn't show the bicky crumbs.

I love the bike seat too. We'll expect to hear about the bicycle adventures soon. But I'm not sure about the mountain bike tracks!

I suppose you'll be using the child proof checkouts soon.
