I keep forgetting to mention that Eloïse now has a couple of bottom teeth. I don't get to see them very often, but they're definitely there. I can feel them while I'm attempting to brush them.
She's growing up and it's all going so fast. One minute, she's being born; the next, she's smiling; soon after that, she's rolling over; then, she's sitting upright; before you know it, she has teeth! At this rate, she'll be having her own children some time in 2007!
Even though I'm at home with her every day and essentially miss nothing, the speed at which the days, weeks and months go by is discomforting. Perhaps that's because so much has happened in the last twelve months; I don't know. We have plenty to do this year, too, what with furnishing the house and finding our niche in the new life we've created for ourselves, but I nevertheless trust that the pace will be less frenetic. After all, we have no plans to have another baby, move across the world or buy another house this year.
Yes, by the end of 2006, I do hope that it will feel as if it has slunk by more slowly than the year before it.
