Heads up!
I can't believe how bad I've been about keeping up with this blog...10 days since my last post. Shame on me!
Well nothing hugely exciting has happened in the interim...my days are full of kids and cleaning up after them...walks with them and friends, visits, errands...the normal day to day stuff. This week I went all over Waterford in search of a soft Elmo doll (the only one I could find was a "chicken dance elmo" which wasn't very cuddly at all!). No luck. So grandma came to the rescue in the States and found one which will be awaiting Aine's arrival in November!
Aisling is starting to lift her head off the floor! I know this is quite late at 4 months, but considering she has spent most of her life in brace that made her head smoosh into the carpet if I put her on her tummy, she's doing pretty good!! She's had the brace off 2 weeks now and is loving being able to stretch out and move around more!
Of course, the reaction of Aine to her sister's freedom is that she is taking more of mommy's time as mommy is playing with her on the mat on the floor more often instead of just smiling at her in the swing! Whenever I go to change Aisling's nappy, Aine screams no, and lies down to get her nappy changed! I had to resort to pretending to change her nappy lately!
I still try to find time to work on quilts in the evenings after the girls have settled. I am close to finishing Aine's I Spy quilt for her birthday, and mom has received her quilt...I'll post photos of those here... I am also doing internet swaps, and am making star blocks for those...I'm really learning a lot with each project I do, getting more precise, etc. I have my eye on an expensive quilting/embroidery sewing machine for my next few birthday/anniversary/Christmas presents rolled into one...need to convince Dave of it. Thinking of starting a small business personalizing kids and babies things...anyone interested in personalized blankets, quilts, onesies, bibs? I also think that bringing over cool baby gadgets from the states would work too...have to think about this idea here...
Anyway...Weight Watchers is going slowly but surely these days...20 lbs down...20 more to go...would like to get to 120 again... I am definitely taking a break and enjoying myself in the States though...up to a point!
