I love watching my girls play and grow together. Meredith delights in finding new ways to get Fiona laughing, and of course Fiona adores Meredith and loves to laugh with her. Sometimes Meredith is frustrated by how much Fiona wants to follow her around and see what she’s doing, but often she’s willing to change the game a bit to include Fiona, or is fine if we find something for Fiona to do nearby. If she hears Fiona crying she will say “Mama, Nona needs you” or “Nona needs a nurse”.
We took this video the other day and I thought it was a sweet look at the kind of big sister Meredith often is. Even though we had mentioned Fiona doesn’t need help, Meredith wanted to be right there to catch her and help her. She does this on the stairs too, standing behind her ready to catch if she falls. I wish I hadn’t been so quick to turn the camera off, because Meredith helped her back up and got her hands back on the chair.

Ohmigosh – so cute!! I can’t believe she’s already walking (kind of) Miss you guys!!
Hehe, she’s been doing it for a while. It’s adorable, but doesn’t mean much really. Meredith was doing that pretty much as soon as she could pull herself to a stand (so around 6 months) and didn’t walk for real until she was over 10 months and wasn’t walking full time until she was just about a year. So we’ll see! I’m certainly not ready for my baby to be walking yet.
We miss you a lot too. =(
