Growing Up






Hmmmmm, cant half tell that Annabelle is my daughter!! She snuck the jaffas while I had my head turned for just a second! Next photo down is Matilda after a dinner of zuchini. Next is one of the house (kitchen area) the other week. We have been painting this week which is very very exciting. The next three are of my very clever girls who have started sitting up by themselves (although not for long - hence the pillows). Matilda is in the purple stripes in the first two and then Annabelle is in the pink stripes on the final photo. They cant sit themselves up but have pretty good balance once I pull them into the sitting position.
Both girls have also grown teeth - two bottom ones each. And had their first meal of chicken today. It was a bit lumpier than other foods so they werent too sure to start with but once they realised they had to chew a little they loved it.

6 months (nearly)





The girls are six months old this weekend. And I cant believe how quickly time has flown! They are both doing really really well. They have discovered how to blow raspberries and Annabelle has been practising all afternoon. Both are now very vocal too and I am often woken at 5.30am to them chatting either to themselves or each other. Although I dont enjoy the early starts its a lovely sound to wake up to. Matilda rolls over all the time but Annabelle figures its easier to stay on her back (she can do it, just chooses not to). And the giggles! - all the time now and at some very random things - like the word spaghetti, apparently it is very funny.

Yum Yum!!!!



Food!!!

I started the girls on solids about two weeks ago. As you can see, pumpkin is a winner. They also love sweet potato and pears. Tried avacado today and they werent too sure about that. Pototo though was literally spat straight back! Very amusing.

At the last weigh in which was about a week ago Annabelle weighed 7.3kgs and Matilda was 6.7kg.

The top photo is of Matilda adn the bottom two of Annabelle.
