Belated birthday post.

This is late, but cute nonetheless. She was not well on her birthday so the actual day was a very low key affair. She has taken her first steps but still prefers to crawl, loves to climb the stairs and trying to keep up with sisters.

Speaking of, here are my girls on the day of their 1st birthday parties, all in the same sweet little Esprit outfit. I just wish that I had taken a proper photo of H before she had lasagne all over her face, was overtired and had a bunch of people singing happy birthday. She looks petrified!

Aside from the pale skin and blue eyes, they really don't look that alike. 

Here is a photo of me to add to the mix too. I think that H looks most like me.

Torture...

... is watching your sisters have a ball at their swimming lessons and having to sit on the side.

Her persistence I have spoken about came out in the minutes before I took this photo. I placed her on the ground holding her hand as she does not sit by herself yet. So I thought. She twice pulled away from my hand so she could sit up herself. I think I was told in no uncertain terms there.

Sisters were both awesome at their lesson progressing very well under the guidance of a swim teacher who has been around the block many times now. She knows exactly how to get them to try new things with confidence and complete trust.
