The Twins

I know I'm biased but aren't they lovely????

The play pen has finally gone up in the living room as the little darlings wriggle about too much and it seemed the safest option. Their latest trick is rocking the car seats until their legs touch the ground and sliding out onto the floor. Sammi has also perfected the caterpillar move - he lies on his back and does pelvic thrusts which propel him across the room!

We've also installed a swing which Emily loves and Sammi can't really work out. In fact Emily is so taken with it that she screams if you try and take her out so we end up leaving her there...!

We’ve discovered that when you eat out with twins it’s really handy to find a taverna where the owner’s daughter is a willing helper at feeding time!

Here they are with some more new friends, Alex and Maisie (who are actually very distant cousins) in Athens on holiday, and with Ross their Scottish pal.

Emily just cant seem to keep her hands off Sammi and chews his arm off at any given opportunity. As you can see, Sammi's really impressed!

Bubs had their 2nd jabs yesterday and a check up. All fine - shooting off the scale height-wise (especially Emily). Obviously the Laaroussi gene at work there, couldn't possibly be the Webb one!

I've been told to wait until they are 6 months old before I start weaning them. Doc reckons we wean too early in the UK and USA and that's why we're all fat! (He may have a point there!) Will take his advice and start fruit purees in September.

Some piccies I took this morning...
