we made it, one whole year old!
we started this year getting just about every bug going but we're much better now. much to mummy and daddys relief.
it was daddys birthday at the end of january so we helped mummy to get him some cufflinks with our finger prints on them, he liked them very much but hasn't worn them yet in case he loses them. funny daddy!
we've been up to loads of growing up. we're in our big car seats that face the way we're going, we like that very much! although mummy and daddy have put the seats in the car and not left them in the living room, we did think they were really cool tv seats at first!
we can both crawl like speedy little crawling beans now and we're really good at walking but neither of us are brave enough to let go of hands yet. Noah can stand without holding on, he tries to walk but forgets to move his feet so falls over, a lot. we like to clap at penguins, mummy and daddy and anything that we think is good. we like to dance, especially to the mickey mouse clubhouse song.
mummy and daddy say we're ever so funny now, apparently florrie does funny things on purpose but noah is accidentally funny. we make everyone laugh a lot.
things we can say: baby, ball, book, cat, daddy, is it, look, mummy, that, yes. not all of them are very clear but mummy and daddy know what we mean.
we were meant to go to marwell zoo for our birthday but there was soooooo much rain that mummy and daddy didn't think it would be such a good idea so we all went to bournemouth to the aquarium where the critters were meant to be in lots of water! when we got there grandma had made us some more hats...we did get to go to marwell a few days later with mummy and daddy, we love the penguins very much so mummy and daddy bought season passes so we can go any time. sometimes if its sunny mummy takes us to see the penguins after lunch.
we're going to have our immunisations next week, mummy has been reading all the other twin mummys comments on the twin group page and everyone says their twinkles were really poorly the week after, mummy isn't looking forward to that, but the mummies have recommended she gets in lots of chocolate to get through it. we had out one year check and all is very well. Noah is 21lb 15oz and 98cm tall, Florence is 24lb 11oz and 97cm tall, the health visitor lady was very pleased with us and mummy said its nice to finally have a health visitor who isn't a complete arse!
we had our birthday photoshoot with Jules and Sue who did mummys bump shoot. we had lots of fun and mummy and daddy have picked out the pictures and are just waiting for the finished set which will go up in the lounge. they're hoping to have a birthday shoot each year so we get a collection. this is one of the pictures they've chosen
we are very excited to be seeing you and mike soon and getting new pictures. mummy says shes sorry we don't write on here as much as she'd hoped but is glad you get to see our pictures on facebook. mummy says she hopes that we're still making funny faces for you to see.
see you soon
lots of love
