The Frozen North East, part one
We just returned from visiting co-workers to get an idea of the people they are working with and they way they go about life. We also wanted to see the city for ourselves as we might be moving there in the not too distant future.
Getting to know each other - many good conversations around this table

Six months old…already?!
Our sweet little Keira Joy will be 6 months old on the 20th. These past few months have really flown by, it’s crazy how fast it seems when you look back, especially with little ones.
Keira is a great eater and sleeper. I’m so thankful I’m able to still be breastfeeding her. This time around I’ve been more conscious of drinking a lot more water, which I think was one of the problems I had with Violet. Soon I will be starting her on solids. No teeth yet either.
She is a very happy baby! She loves being talked to and she really loves her sister, who really likes playing with her and keeps her entertained. Keira is always rolling everywhere. For nap time, I tuck her in like a little burrito so she doesn’t roll on her belly, which she doesn’t like for sleeping yet. She does well with strangers holding her. I thought for a bit she didn’t like strangers, when we were at the doctors office she would cry if someone there held her, but I think it might have been she was really tired those times.
She is always reaching out for things and when she gets it, she brings it right to her mouth. She likes grabbing at people’s faces and hair. It’s all just so interesting to her right now. And she thinks it’s funny when we clap.
We’re so thankful to have this happy little girl who bring such joy into our lives everyday!
