Milestones and Moments
1 - The girls attended there first birthday party in a sports hall, Rebecca played with skipping ropes and space hoppers for the first time and they had fun in a mirror filled room. Not to mention they both got there first McDonald’s - although Rebecca really only eat a couple fries and Eilidh some of the burger bun (order Fruit Bags for them but they never showed)
2 - Eilidh has started giving kisses and hugs, the kisses are the open mouthed slobbery ones but are just adorable. She is already learning how to manipulate with them - like at 3am in the morning when she doest want to sleep and keeps kissing me over and over. She also has a new word “Bath”.
3 - Eilidh is starting to spoon feed herself, although at the moments its really holding a spoon with one hand and using the other to feed. Her walking has improved so much that she barely crawls .
4 - Rebecca is finally starting to settle at playgroup, i can’t just leave straight away but can after a few minutes. She is starting to mix with the children better and her communication skills have exploded lately - she can now get her point across with a mixture of words, gestures and noises. One of my favorite was from the other day which also shows how much of a lovely sister she is.
She had just woken from nap and came through the living room and wanted “milkies”
After she finished she kept pointing at the other side saying “Eilidh Dhat” then made her “milkies” sign. I told her Eilidh had already had some but she kept saying it. After a couple of moments she turned on her sad eyes, leaned up and gave me a kiss and say “Peas” (Please) . She was so concerned about her sister not missing out - she amazes me how sweet and wonderful she is to her.

Your girls are so precious, Laura
I always enjoy hearing about them and watching them through photos and video. It looks like Eilidh is walking well now and it sounds like Rebecca is really communicating. How fun!
