New Adventures

Wow, I am always impressed with how fast time flies with a new baby! I realized it has been over a week since our last post. In that time we have done many things. Ceili is trying a new program called a "90 minute sleep cycle". It is working very well and she seems much less tired now. We had a few days where she didn't sleep at all, yuck, she was cranky! Now with the new system she is much more rested and ready to read, giggle, and play with her new toys.










Ceili went for a play date with Sophia Consie this week and had an absolute ball. they played with Soph's Combi Car and took pictures together. Later, Ceili helped Jon clean the garage. Can you find Ceili in the picture below? Erin and Ceili are continuing to read together and Ceili really enjoys her book time. Grandma Otis stopped up this week and brought some more books, some of which were Jon's favorites growing up. This got me to thinking about all the popular books that were read to us as children. Five Chinese Brothers, Tiki-Tiki-Tembo, Little Black Sambo, etc. are not books that we would read to our children today because they are so not politically correct, but they are very engaging stories. Just a thought.














Ceili and Jon also went to the Tattoo shop today. Jon had designed a Celtic cross with a shamrock and decided to add Ceili's name and birth date. It turned out very nice, really very detailed.
