...and the living is hot!! What a contrast compared to the awful spring we had. The first half of July has been nearly 2 degrees hotter than normal, and it feels like it went from being cold and rainy to being unbearably hot overnight... which it nearly did. July 3rd was the last day we had rain and 20°C or so - ever since then it hasn't been cooler than 28°C. We haven't been out much since Alixe and I got home from the hospital, since it has been so hot during the day. Still, we're finding ways to keep occupied. Stay tuned for further blog entries on the subject.
In other news, Aimy has adjusted very well to the presence of her sister. In fact, nearly every time I have Alixe in my arms, Aimy gets excited and says "Baby, baby!" over and over until she can get close enough to give her a kiss. She gets a bit impatient when I am feeding the baby and can't do what she wants right that second, but she seems to be getting used to the idea that I can't be 100% at her beck and call. Right now we are going through a "body parts" phase; Aimy loves to point at her (or my) nose/mouth/toes etc. and say what she is pointing at. Even Alixe hasn't been spared the naming of facial features. Aimy has been very gentle with her and very sweet, which makes life a lot easier.
