First shoes & first words

Ronan and Lucy got their first shoes last weekend. We went to the same shoe shop where Sean got his shoes in Tipperary. There was measuring, practising, ooing and aahing followed by photograph-taking. It was very cute but they looked alarmingly grown up. During the process, Lucy said her first word...a perfectly enunciated "shoes". They both have lots of noises and baby words (ta ta, heidi, hi, wuff, rar (as in what does a lion say) but this will be counted as the first grown up word.

The shoes themselves were a gift from Granny and were a horrifying price, but Ronan is conveniently one size up from Lucy so she'll be getting his blue boy-shoe hand-me-downs from now on. A very handy perk with my big/small twins!
