Climbing Stairs

Summer has just climbed her first full flight of stairs at a friends house. Hopefully she can do ours once we have carpet. What a great day.

The joys of motherhood

Katie in baby bouncer hanging from door,
Not long had food.
Summer is helping Katie to bounce by pushing her head into Katies tummy
Katie is Sick all over Summers head.
Both girls looked quite pleased with the result.

Both girls had bath that evening!

Sleeping and Standing

A few people have mentioned the lack of blog entries, so in a rare daytime moment with two girls upstairs and quiet I thought I would write.
Its been quite a hard few weeks, mainly due to lack of sleep, but both girls are doing well.

We are due for an orthopeadic appointment on monday, we have not been for six months, so it will be interesting to see what her hips are doing and what the consultant thinks. Summer has some new splints to wear inside shoes( Fifi ones for those in the know!) this means that we can practise sitting to standing a bit more which is great. It is becoming more noticable that she is on the floor when her peers are running around which is something Iam finding a bit hard, and yet I only have to go back and remember all the worries we had when she was born to know that she is developing SO well. So praise God for all the amazing things he has done, and I believe will continue to do in our lives.

I leave you with photos of Summer standing and Nic and Katie sleeping!

7 weeks old

Oh my word, I had forgotten how much time newborns take! I am up past 9pm for the first time in weeks. Katie is doing well.... noisy, very sicky, but very cute. Summer is still enjoying being a big sister, although she does grab Katies hand and say bye quite a bit, as if Katie has out stayed her welcome.
I still get amazed by the things Katie does, she can stand and move her feet, everything a normal baby can do, yet we did not experience that with Summer. I thank God that he has blessed us with two amazing girls, I feel very privileged to have been chosen to be their mum, although it is also quite scary.
I am off to get ready for bed, which I recall is an object you normally sleep the night in...oh what a distant memory!

Does her Nose beep?

In our household, noses "beep". Summer is just checking out Katies nose to see if it works!

3.30 am!

3.30 AM, cue both girls up, unimpressed parents, unhappy Summer & Katie, its just as well they are cute.
Not a great start to Nics First day back at work. Katie finally put on a little bit of weight which is a relief, jaundice seems to be improving.

I am dreaming of the day when I can have a big glass of wine.......and more than a few hours sleep

Being a big sister.

Baby!, shouts Summer excitedly. She seems to have adjusted very well to another little person in the house. I got home from hospital a day earlier than expected which was great. We have had lots of visitors including excited grandparents which has made summer very happy, she loves people.

Katie is doing well, she is a little jaundiced which we are having checked out at the hospital. She is currently blissfully asleep looking very cute.

No new photos, sorry you will have to wait for Nic to do an entry, I still have baby brain and it seems far to complicated to do!
