Snarl at the Camera

Not flattering on either part, but sharing in the same sentiment. Caption competition....

Also Growing Up

Thomas is walking full-time. He is saying 'hiya' (into phones, remote controls and across the street), 'da-da' (Daddy), 'nah' (no), 'uh-oh' (endlessly dropping things on the floor from his high chair). He loves being chased about the house and rough-and-tumble (thankfully, as there's no escape with a Daddy like Andrew).

Growing Up

Now that Madeleine has turned 3, her favourite colour has changed from green to pink and she enjoys pulling faces. On the plus side, we're enjoying more elaborate craft activities now.

Happy Birthday Madeleine!

Madeleine turned 3 yesterday. We celebrated with a lovely tea-party at Grandma and Grandpa's.



I'll huff, and I'll puff....





Magic balloons.

No rest for the wicked.

See-saw

A welcome addition to the garden, kindly donated by a friend of ours.

Bother Boots

Thomas now has his first pair of orthotic shoes (essentially the right shoe on the left foot and vice versa) to continue to straighten out his feet. Poor chap - just as he's mastering the art of walking we slap these strange boots on. He does seem quite interested in them and I'm sure he'll get the hang of walking in his new footwear soon enough. Watch out small insects. On the plus side, we can't complain at free shoes.
