*Sweeping the floor has become a game of keep away, as she is crawling, and chases the pile wherever I scoot it to. I have to pretty well keep it with me as I go.
*what I might have lost in laundry from poopy messes, I have gained in meal messes, as she is eating solids, and shares her meals with her shirt sleeves, because, of course, fingers make a perfect complement to any pureed veggie or grain.
*I can no longer take a step without looking to see that it is safe, as someone is always ending up under my feet, or even intentionally following my feet around, so as to enjoy hanging on my pantlegs, or pulling on my socks. Who wouldn't, really!
*I have to make rounds examining each room of the house a few times a day, to both locate her and certify that she has not found anything she shouldn't have.
This is turning out to be such a cool holiday season. I am FINALLY settling in to living here, feeling more at home. I'm not feeling like I'm stuck somewhere weird when I should be home with my family... I am home with my family. A good feeling.
We have had insane snow lately, and made snowmen, baked cookies, decorated trees, fire burning in the stove, you name it. It has been so festive and fun.
The girls c r a c k m e u p.
Anna plays with Niamh, gets her laughing and vice versa. Anna is sooo good with ehr, I kinda can't believe it. Niamh is so happy and good too. Loves to laugh. Now that she is crawling she will play on the floor by herself with toys. Yay for entertaining one's self!!! My arms are getting a few more breaks (HALLelujah!) and she is more content, longer.
Here she is in her Christmas dress:
I think she looks so much more grown up dressed up like that. Beautiful!
and here we are decorating the other day:
I love this season! Ignore the vacuum and holloween chip box that had th Christmas balls in it.
A very merry season to you all!

Vacuum? What vacuum? I don't see a vacuum. And I see a box, but it definitely looks like ornament storage to me.
You three girls are so CUTE!
