Developmental milestones....

Anna is flashing and zipping everywhere now she is crawling. To say she is really enjoying her freedom would be an understatement. She is pretty darn pleased with herself. The problem is she is a little bit wired and is difficult to settle in the evening or get through the whole night. She is quite simply into everything. She is standing up using a table or the side of the bath and holding her weight for a good few minutes. She does need to work on her dismount, it's very undignified! Anna clapped her first clap this week, blew her first comedy raspberry, played her first drum and trumped in the bath for the first time. These are all important developmental landmarks and are well worth noting. Lucy has had a tough week with highs and lows. The high being she continues to have dry nights and has not had one accident, Barnaby Bear has come to stay with us for the weekend and her counting and number recognition is excellent. Low - she has spent the week on antibiotics and has had glands the size of golf balls!! Phrase of the week: 'Daddy we'll go upstairs and play, because we are girls and you stay downstairs and tidy up our mess, because you are a boy and very naughty!' Equality is going to be a problem in this house for many years to come....
