16 month old seems unhappy

Hi, i have noticed that my 16 month old girl seems pretty sad quite a lot of the time lately. She is not throwing tantrums just seems a bit down, spends lots of time just staring out of window with glazed expression, or wandering round aimlessly not really interacting much. I am working from home and have her and her 3 year old brother home. He is great with her but quite demanding so takes up a lot of my time. They finished nursery in Dec and have been home since, hopefully returning in March. She was a really happy little baby and it is sad to see her so unanimated. I take her out in the garden and to see our horses twice per day, read and try to do an activity with her each day so she isn't just left all day. I wonder if she is bored or depressed as she hasn't been anywhere or seen anyone else for so long. I have also been distracted as recently started completely different job and also desperately trying to find a new home and get ours ready to sell and I wonder if she is picking up on this.
Anyone finding that their baby seems abit down? Sorry for longvpost

I definitely noticed that DS (now 18 months) was getting a bit bored and restless over Christmas - he was off nursery for 4 weeks and I could absolutely see that he missed the mental stimulation of being there. As much as we tried, we weren't very good substitutes for a roomful of friends!

Yes hopefully she will be abit happier once she gets back to nursery. I really miss taking her out and about, I even miss soft play!
