Spring has Finally Arrived

I have never been so glad to see the back of winter before. The sun has been shining, the girls have been well and we've all been enjoying getting out in the garden. We found our hat collection, Stella had a great time trying them on, Celeste will need more encouragement to keep hers on. I always found with Stella that 'no hat = no going outside' worked, however Celeste is definitely her own little person so we'll see if that approach works with her too. She can follow simple instructions like find a book, where is the ball etc. She is getting good at animal noises, in particular those for cow and elephant (complete with arm movement for the trunk). Both girls are growing up so fast, Celeste's hair is just long enough for pigtails and Stella seems to be growing at an exponential rate, the pic of her with her hoodie on shows how long her legs are now.
