Another Rainy Day in Ireland!

Well...today was pretty gray and dismal, but we had a few interesting things happen... Aisling finally had her first bath this morning (kept falling asleep for her evening baths!) I took her in the bath with me on the "safer bather" bath pillow we have...keeps the baby from slipping and is warm for her! She was really good, no crying, just a few false alarms...looked like she was going to cry, but didn't! Aine wanted to hop in the bath too!

I put Aine down for a nap today, and like half the times I do it in a week, it didn't work, got about 20 minutes of quiet from her then whining then shouting...when I got to her door to let her escape, she was out of bed and in her shoes!! That is right! Our little girl put on her hiking boots all by herself...and amazingly on the right feet!

Yesterday I took a 2.5 hour walk all over creation to make up for my lack of exercise and because it was a beautiful day. I had plans to call Dave halfway through the walk if I got tired, but persevered. I walked from my house to the Centra grocery store in Mooncoin and back! I'll have to see how many miles that is tomorrow! I hope to do one long walk like that a week, on the weekends, just to have some time to myself and to get a nice bit of exercise!

Am working on a few quilt projects, the I Spy quilt for Aine, some star blocks for an internet swap I'm doing, and my dad's Christmas pressie quilt... Also reading The Blind Assasin (Margaret Atwood) for our book clubs October selection!

Aisling is adjusting well to life without her brace...I've introduced her to the mirror I had for Aine and she loves to see herself and mommy in the reflection. Will have her on her mat and doing tummy time more often! She'll be behind for a while, but hopefully will catch up with her developmental milestones! If she doesn't...I've got to learn to be a less worried mommy...they all get there in the end! She is a happy girl and that is more important.
