Fun times

Sorry about the delay in photos!! Life has just been extremely busy and getting computer time has been near impossible. Anyway..... the girls are both really really well, both walking very confidently now and are just learning that if I ask them to come to me that they can actually go in the other direction and that this is very funny. To them at least. Hmmmm.

They are both blowing big raspberries on everything, my legs, their legs and each others legs. Again, very funny.

Their comprehension level spins me out daily. I can now ask them to go and get me something from the other side of the room and they can go and pick it up for me and bring it back. They definitely understand the meaning of 'no' and will shake their head if they dont want something being offered, dont want to be put down or are frustrated with something.

Teeth - there are lots of them now, including some back molars.

Cant think of any other specific things, but both girls are just delightful at the moment and provide hours of entertainment.

4. A very funny day for me - Annabelle went into the corner to explore and then Matilda followed her. Annabelle then decided she wanted to come out, but as Matilda was in the way couldnt go anywhere. I had been in the kitchen and came outside in response to crying. I looked all around the deck but couldnt see either - got just a little frightened, but checked that I had locked the gate to the stairs three times - and then finally found them both tucked in behind the gas light with Matilda looking oh so innocent and not sure what all the noise was about.

5. The girls were given the pool for their birthday and absolutely love it. Since this photo have taken the pool outside and filled it and the girls just go crazy, splashing and falling over and giggling.
