June 2009

The biggest development at the moment is the girls language. They are mimicing every other word that you say including: beautiful, precious, quickly, carefully and many many others that I thought they would never get their tongues around. Starting to put two to three words together too, like 'daddy's car', or 'sit down Matilda'. They are also learning to assert their own ideas and opinions (which means lots of little tanties and Matilda pulls the most unreal grumpy frown), and, unfortunately both have learned what 'pushing' is- just a little on the dangerous side considering the number of steps we have!

The pregnancy is going well too - very very hard to believe that I am now 30 weeks pregnant, and I will try and get some photos up asap.

The photos above were taken just the other weekend (19th June). I took the kids down to a sort of beach with my cousin & her husband and their little one too. We stripped all the kids down to singlets and nappies and they all had a ball!!

I have added two other posts today, so make sure to scroll back over the last few entries.

From the top:
1. Both girls discovering puddles. To be completely honest, Im not sure which girl is which, but from memory I think it is Annabelle closer to the camera

2. Annabelle playing in the sand/mud. Annabelle loved it and played like this for quite a while. Matilda wasnt so keen on getting dirty.

3. All three kids - Angus and Annabelle sitting down, Matilda supervising

4. All three afterwards eating lunch. Makes me think of a lovely little picnic! Annabelle is in the foreground looking at the camera.

1. Matilda being very cheeky. I think this was one of the first nights I put the hairbands in their hair and she thought she was very beautiful and was more than happy to be posing for the camera!

2. in the bath - Annabelle with her tongue out

3. Just like at the movies.... I had them set up infront of Playschool with popcorn and a bottle of water. they thought it was great. Annabelle is the one with the drink bottle

4. The day at the beach that is in the next post. Reminds me of three little explorers. I think we had actually just sent Matilda and Annabelle to go and retrieve Angus from going to far.

Took the kids & dog to a beach / dog park. All three loved exploring!!

1. Both girls climbing over the rocks - Matilda in the foreground

2. Matilda down by the water. She absolutely loved it and would just run into the water as if she wasnt going to stop. At one point she got up to above her knees before realising I was calling out to her for her to stop.

3. Annabelle doing some drawing one morning when we were out to breakfast.
