We had two major milestones<\/strong> this weekend in the life of Savannah.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Not just for her but for Mummy too.<\/p>\n

Two major things that opened my eyes up to the joy of being a mother of two sisters<\/strong> and having a family.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s weird that it has hit me now and not when Savannah was born, but for the past six months<\/strong><\/a> she’s just been a baby.<\/p>\n

An adorable baby, but one that has been cruising in her baby world, filled with capsules and cots, milk and sleep.<\/p>\n

Turning the Car Seat Around<\/h2>\n

There is much I lament about my baby growing up. When she started eating food there was the old pull at the heart knowing that she was no longer a baby baby. She was growing up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No such feelings when it comes to turning the car seat around. That is a milestone we cheer for as it makes our life so easy<\/strong>. I no longer have to battle with the seat straps to pull her out and I can look to see if she is okay while I am driving.<\/p>\n

She absolutely loves it and could not stop grinning and every time I turned around to see her she would laugh her head off.<\/p>\n

\"Baby

She loves facing forward<\/p><\/div>\n

It was when I turned around and saw her sitting next to her sister and she was reaching out to grab Kalyra that it hit me, I am the mother of two adorable sisters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is my family.<\/p>\n

I then became the one grinning broadly and my chest swelled with love at how special my life is.<\/p>\n

Lucky Craig likes to do most of the driving, which means I no longer face the front much, my head is always swinging around to stare and grin at these two delightful cherubs.<\/p>\n

Moving Savannah into her Own Room<\/h2>\n

For the past six months Savannah’s cot has been at the end of our bed. This week I reached the point where I was ready to release her into her own room. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It was time to welcome my own space back.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We spent the weekend rearranging the rooms and decluttering<\/strong><\/a>. The toy room has now become Savannah’s space.<\/p>\n

We left some of Kalyra’s toys in Savannah’s room mainly for space but so that Kalyra could come on in to spend time with her sister.<\/p>\n

After it was all set up, Kalyra asked if she could sleep on the floor of Savannah’s room to keep her company.<\/p>\n

She jumped up and down with excitement, “Then I won’t be lonely anymore.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

She hates sleeping on her own and finds her way into our bed every night. I was excited with the thought this might put an end to it. (It didn’t)<\/p>\n

I walked into the room and Savanah was sitting on the floor playing with her toys and Kalyra was sitting opposite her talking to her and reading her stories.<\/p>\n

My heart just melted. Their friendship is getting stronger every day. I can’t wait to see it blossom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
