approx 18 months (3)







From the top:
1. Fun times on our deck - playing in the big red car
2. Matilda showing me where her belly button is
3. Annabelle trying to escape while I take a photo and ending up in giggles.
(Ive entered three sets of about four photos, so this little blurb applies to them all.....)
The girls are great at the moment, lots and lots of giggles and cuddles. Their language has taken off with new words including: car, nappy, puppies, bus, shoes, no, please, more, up, up please, bisc (for biscuit), and probably more that I cant remember. Their comprehension is also amazing and I can now give them a string of directions and they can follow most of them. They have started to run, are getting more and more into reading books and pointing at single objects on the page and the other day were pretending to 'eat' the corn out of the book and 'smell' the pictures of the flowers. All very cute!
They are absolutely fascinated with shoes and will constantly ask me to put their shoes on, matching or mismatched and drag around Damians and my shoes when ever they can get their hands on them.
They are each growing four more teeth, so Matilda has been biting again. But its ok as Annabelle has learned how to pinch and both are great at slapping. Sigh. I think the hardest part is not reacting like a child myself and smaking them straight back! Funny though, cos I send them to the corner and then they give each other a cuddle to say sorry. I tried so hard to capture a cuddle on camera so I could post it up, but of course the girls werent interested at all.
Im doing really well now, approx 18 weeks pregnant. I already have a great pregnant look - I think I am bigger than with the girls. I will try and get some photos of me on the blog too. Im now past the 'feeling sick in the morning' stage and 'absolutely exhausted' stage so that is really nice. Have our first ultra sound next week so am really excited about that too.
