The Twins

Poor Emily gets terrorised daily by Sammi - he pulls her hair, slaps her face and grabs at her clothes constantly.

So to actually find them sitting playing with bricks and quietly watching tv was a rare moment indeed!

We also have some more teeth - Emily now has a total of 4 and Sammi follows closly behind with only 2 bottom ones.

Another trip to the park...

Simple things...!
Sammi is at his happiest sitting in a plastic box eating toast!

And Emily has rather taken to her new trike...

Daddy has already started her self-defence training (even down to the facial expressions)! She uses this move frequently to ward off Sammi.

And she sooooo loves her food (just like mummy!) What a healthy appetite, just try taking the spoon off her and you'll see what I mean!

He is IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Here he is gazing at his reflection...a popular pastime!

And here he's playing peekaboo. He can sit still for quite a while under a blanket pretending to hide and waiting for someone to say 'Where's Sammi?'!!

Phew! 10 months old and they dont sit still for 5 SECONDS!!!!

Sammi is getting really good at crawling, cruising round the furniture, chasing cats and wrestling Emily.

Emily is taking a slightly more laid back approach and has perfected the 'bum shuffle'! She's not crawling yet but seems to get across the room on her backside.

They both try and stand up at every opportunity, especially when they're in their cots or playpen - they hang on to the bars, giggling and making a kind of 'ahem', throat-clearing noise to get my attention!

Other news, Sammi has just grown a tooth - one solitary tooth! Emily has her bottom two, no more as yet. They can clap their hands, wave hello and goodbye and play peekaboo, as well as recognising a few words - their favourite being 'pussy cats'! When you say that they go all giggly and stupid and look around for the poor tormented creatures!

That's all for the time being...
