Isla has been doing some amazing things in the last two weeks. At 11 months old she started to stand unsupported, much to my amazement! She has been getting better and better at it as the weeks go. She now has 5 teeth too. We are two weeks old from her First Birthday, but will celebrate with a party/morning tea for her at the end of May. Isla has been doing swimming lessons this term but hasn't really adjusted to the colder water....even with two sets of togs on her!! We will leave term 2 and see how we go later in the year. She can say 'mum mum', 'dad dad', uh-oh (when she drops something) and 'this' (when she wants something). She starts pre school with Niamh in 2 weeks also for two days.
Niamh has turned three and is still keeping me on my toes. She recently had a cute Minnie mouse party with her 3 year old friends, complete with tramp bouncing, party food and lounge dancing! It was a busy/crazy one and a half hour with 10 children 3 and under, but she had heaps of fun. Niamh is doing so well with swimming that for term 2 she will be solo swimming! Not that she can touch the bottom of the pool yet!! She is so motivated when it comes to letters and the alphabet. She is asking me to spell out words for her to 'write' with letter blocks.
We are counting down until Isla's first birthday now. The last year has been pretty busy for us, baby, building new house, relocating for 7 months, then back again, and now landscaping ourselves. It's been full on but worth it in so many ways.
