Six Months (already!)


                   Today was the first try of the Bumbo chairs..the girls seemed to enjoy them.




                           The Persian Princesses- Souveniers from my parents trip to Iran.


                                         Still able to enjoy outings in the sunny winter days.


                                                        The Jolly Jumper-very popular.


June 3rd was the girls 6 month birthday. We still think of them as closer to 4+ months being the adjusted age as they were born about 2 months early even to a twin gestation of around 38wks.

We took the opportunity of introducing them to a very small try of baby food. As with everything with these two cuties we had two very different reactions. Surprise and curiosity mostly, but they did enjoy the new experience. We will be sticking to the bottles for now, with just a little try now and again. Will have to photograph them next time.

We have had plenty of outings and the girls also have a new ride...the Baby Jogger Select Twin. We have the BJ City Mini Twin which is the side-by-side, but have found having the option of the tandem style too means any adventure can be catered to.

We have recently found a new park close by which has a cafe-restaurant, fenced play area, very clean bathrooms/baby change and a fenced puppy park. We all enjoyed ourselves yesterday at this gorgeous spot.

Will keep the updates coming...

...and as always,

Best Wishes To All xx

Twincess Updates



 Hello To All!

Sorry I have been a bit slow with the blog updates this month. Lara and Amy have been doing well and keeping us busy. We have enjoyed some lovely outings with the girls - visiting, picnicing and shopping. They are doing fine with the extended feeding routine, which makes life easier not to be getting out the bottles every couple of hours when you are out and about. We do a mixture of  4 hour feeds in the day and a 5 hour overnight. We feel so lucky to have such happy little babies. They seem content to go along with whatever new thing is happening without any fuss (so far!). Spending time with so much cuteness is wonderful :)

We are getting lots of smiles (hardly ever when the camera is out though...) and they are both trying to 'talk' which is very sweet to hear. Both the girls try to hold their bottles, so there is an independent streak from both of them. They have had their immunization injections and apart from a slight fever for Amy it all went ok.

Mali continues to be great with the girls apart from her issue of  'hyper-security' meaning alarming barks will happen, for like a leaf dropping or a car door being closed a suburb away, but I think we are all somewhat used to it by now.

The days tend to fly by as our little ladies get bigger and stronger. Im often on my iphone internet rather than the laptop, so even though I dont often get to comment, I am keeping up with all the blogland news and always thinking of and sending my best to everyone on their journey.

Best Wishes,
SJ & B xx
