Clap Clap Clap!

No longer content with just waving, Theo has now decided to get all clever and has learnt to clap his hands together. He even partakes in the odd 'High Five!' or two!

Lunch with the Burchells

A quick pic of us on a coffee shop stop-off to feed the boys last Sunday lunchtime. Note the double buggy, change bag, high chairs and associated essential paraphernalia. What you can't see is the table full pots of baby food but completely devoid of anything bought from this café! It's much easier to feed the boys first, then order for us once their satisfied. Saves our coffee from going cold...

Hello! Bye Bye!

Over the last few weeks both Theo and Charlie have started to wave at us.

Charlie was first with a 'open and close' of the fingers type wave and then a week or so later, Theo started to carry out a very regal looking wave from the wrist!

Now, we can't stop them waving - whether laughing, crying, feeding, falling off to sleep - whatever the activity, they'll be waving!

Beep Beep! Out The Way!!!

How much fun does this look!

You're meant to be in it, not under it!

Theo's new hiding place...

Stand Up Charlie!

Although Theo has been standing aided for a few weeks now, Charlie is now on his way too. He's able to get himself up onto his knees, but unless you give him a helping pull, full verticalness is still outside of his grasp.

Not long now though boy!

Ironing Theo

We intend to start them doing chores from an early age. Here's Theo earning this weeks pocket money by ironing the erm... floor?

Reading With Auntie

Follow Me!

It's great seeing the boys grow and change - we see new things in them almost daily.

One of the funniest things we've noticed recently is Theo trying to get Charlie to chase him around the living room. Theo sets off, gets a few paces ahead and then turns to look over his shoulder to see if Charlie is chasing him. Now, Charlie is nowhere near as fast at crawling as Theo is, but he takes the bait and sets off after him - at which point Theo laughs his head off and moves on another few crawl lengths. The cycle then repeats.

It's absolutely hilarious to watch. I'll see if I can capture some video of it....

Portly Panda Cupcakes

The boys are members of the Portly Panda Club - a kids club set up by the Portland Hospital. You get birthday cards, newsletters etc. (but in all honesty though, it's just a load of marketing nonsense to keep you hooked in long after you've been discharged from the hospital!). The boys had their latest magazine in this morning's post and this was in it.

Remember when you were young and you used to sit with your Mum and make Butterfly cakes? Well, it seems that actually making the cakes is FAR too much effort these days....



READY MADE Cupcakes....! Surely making them is half the fun! Licking the remains of the mixture from the bowl, waiting for them to cool down etc...

What is the world coming too.....
