Today was a big milestone for Saoirse - she walked all the way across the living room by herself. In honour of this I'm going to try to put down as many of hers and Rosie's milestones as I can remember :)

I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting but that's all I can think of right now!

First blog post:

I am the mother of two wonderful girls, and this blog is mostly going to be about them - a way for friends and family to keep in touch with them and their lives when we don't get to see each other face-to-face as often as we'd like.

The title of the blog is one of the many, many questions that Rosie, my 3 year old, has asked - she has a knack for asking intriguing questions, which is a trait I particularly enjoy, so I thought that the blog should reflect that natural inquisitiveness.

At the moment we are starting to prepare for Saoirse's first birthday, which is coming up in less than a week.  How quickly that first year has flown by, as we've gotten to know her better and better - her engaging and open personality.
