Where has 7 months gone?

Hello Auntie Sophie,
we're going to start with a picture, a very special one....

mummy says this is one of her favourite pictures, of when we met you and Michael at Christmas. even if we all look a bit worried! but it was very lovely to meet you and we enjoyed the cuddles ever so much xx

mummy says you've been keeping up with our pictures and her funny comments on facebook, but we can tell you some stuff she hasn't.

apparently twins are public property, everyone stares, smiles, says hello or even stops mummy from moving forwards so they can stick their heads in our pushchair to see us. we think its funny but it gets right on mummys tits, especially if she's trying to get back to the car before the parking runs out! Florence is pretty good at crying at old ladies though, mummy loves that. she really likes it if Florence can do that just after Noah pulls his charm attack with his big eyes. he draws them in, she sccares them off!

we go to twins club most thursdays. we've made lots of other twinny friends and mummy has made new mummy friends too, there are some who live nearby so we often go to the pub together for coffee for the mummys and milk for the twinnies. the mummys get to share their twin war stories and say its nice to know they're all in the same boat and can help each other out.

before christmas lots of the mummys met at a big cafe for a twinvasion, there were over 20 sets of twins and their mummys and some extra grandparents too. there was a big picture in the local paper!! this is a picture our grandma took...

 we're in the middle with our friends rowan and stefan and their mummy tessa. it wasn't as noisy as you might think. but mummy said there were some old ladies just wanting a quiet cuppa who looked a bit shocked!!

mummy takes us out for lots of walks around where we live which we like and at the weekends we go out with daddy as well, we like the big family days. every other sunday nanny and grandad come over or we all go to them, its cuddles all day and mummy and daddy only get to see us for nappy changes!! we see grandma a bit, she helps mummy to look after us so she can put all our 'chuffing' laundry away, mummy says it makes her head a bit calmer if she can put our clothes away once in a while.

every room has been taken over by us, mummy and daddy are already looking at some new houses to move to this summer. we've decided that we'll just take over more rooms in a new house, tee hee!

flashy cat is our friend now, she doesn't run away when we cry anymore, probably because we don't cry much now. she rubs her head against our rocker seats and makes them rock again, we like that, especially when we're watching waybuloo, our most favourite show ever. mummy and daddy use it as their emergency back up if we're getting pickly before dinner, it gives them 15 minutes to get everything ready.

we're very good at sleeping, and Florence is even having a go at not waking up so much now. mummy and daddy are getting some sleep finally, they both say its a bit strange to wake up feeling almost normal some days!

we now have food too, baby porridge for breakfast, purees, fruit and plain toast for lunch and then puree for dinner, sometimes we don't want to wait for the next spoonfiul, we're too hungry so we shout at mummy and daddy until they get the next one in, mummy says its like feeding baby bleedin birds, we don't know what they are but guess they're some sort of twins.Noah thinks toast is amazing, but Florence thinks mummy is trying to poison her, she clamps her mouth shut really, reallty tight until she can't see toast in mummys hands any more then she'll open up for other food or milk. we still have lots of milk though. mummy says her secret weapon is a warm bottle of milk, its sooooo yummy we can't finish a whole bottle without falling asleep before the end.

mummy and daddy have enjoyed puttnig us in fancy dress costumes, its a good job we don't mind, here's what they've done to us so far....

Halloween

Christmas

 apparently they're already laughing about easter, and aren't sure if they're going to embrace valentines or not! uh oh!!


mummy still hasn't been able to read the present you got for her. we think its very cool that you printed all the blog up until the last entry into a book for her. she tried to tell daddy when he came home but she cried again, she said its happy and lovely tears but they sound really wobbly, she had lots of snot too!! mummy often says 'oh god I'm having another wobbly day, I've been so lame since those critters hatched, Im such a knob!' we don't know what any of that means but it usually follows her eyes going all leaky.

we're signing off for now as its way past our bedtime and mummy and daddy will be up to check on us in a minute, we'll be in trouble if they catch us on here! so for now, here's a picture of our happy faces at 6 months old, we can't remember but we think mummy was singing something really funny. we'll be 7 months old next week but will try to write again before our birthday!!

take care, we hope you had a lovely time on your visit back
speak soon (hopefully)
lots of love
