Claire is in the process of cutting her first tooth. She’s such a good girl - even when she’s teething. She had been pooping a lot and a bit fussy but I wasn’t feeling well and I thought she was just a bit off too. Yesterday I finally checked her gums and one of her bottom teeth has cut through.

It seems really early but the girls started when they were 6 months and if you adjust it Claire is pretty much bang on. I am going to miss her big gummy giggles!

This past weekend was a long one here and we made the most of it. We accomplished quite a few things on our list including taking down the xmas lights and painting one coat on one wall of the powder room. Yes, buying paint, taping, and  painting a 8×6 wall over the course of 3 days is something to be proud of! It was only actually possible because you can lock the bathroom door and fend off offers of help from 3 year olds.

We also managed to do a few fun things for the girls. The weather was nice and we spent a ton of time outside. The girls (or rather our spacious front lawn) are very popular with the neighbourhood kids and there is always someone for them to play with. The girls are now obsessed with going outside and playing with their ‘friends’. Yesterday we packed up a picnic and took them to the park down by the lake. They are really into the whole picnic thing and it’s fun.

Napping is also going really well. I’ve started separating them for naps right from the start and it’s going much better. They are staying up later at night but they play happily which I can deal with.

What else did we do this weekend…oh right…I sat and  anxiously watched the Senators not choke. GO SENS GO!!
