Strange Bedfellows

In a couple of months, once she's able to sleep through the night (let's HOPE that's in a couple of months!), Campbell will be moving into Fiona's room. In other words, our two girls will be sharing a room for the forseeable future. For now, however, they're enjoying keeping each other company during our bedtime story/prayer/song time. From the look of things, it won't be a very difficult transition when they do become roommates. (Note Fiona's new "big girl bed," i.e. a twin mattress on the floor. Also note that she likes to sleep like a pack rat, surrounded by all the books & stuffed animals she owns).
And, just for fun, here's Fiona out for a stroll in her tutu.

Campbell & Fiona: The First 2 Weeks

Campbell is 13 days old today; it's amazing how these first weeks have flown. Of course, Campbell and Fiona have had very different experiences. Based on the theory (yet to be proven in reality!) that Campbell's arrival must be a traumatic time for her, Fiona spent 13 days being massively spoiled by both sets of her adoring grandparents. Some highlights (note how traumatized Fiona looks):

Riding the Steam Train in Tilden Park with Nana and Boom.

Modeling her first raincoat.

And here is how Campbell spent her first 2 weeks of life:
Except when she was eating or screaming, that is!

It's actually been delightful to see the girls begin to interact. We're particularly amused at how enormous Fiona -- to whom the word "enormous" is almost never applied -- appears next to Campbell. In true big sister fashion, she seems to believe that she is responsible for Campbell's
care and nurture, and that without her to keep us in line, Mama and Dadoo would muck things up horribly. In other words, she's bossing us around: "Mama, hold Campbell!" "Mama, milk!" Campbell had better rest up now, because no doubt she'll soon be the next target of Fiona's bossiness!
