We’re alive! We’ve been quiet the last couple of weeks, we won’t bore you with the same stuck record stories of poor sleep, teething and no napping days (it was bad - each of the boys slept in the dining room for a night because of the amount of times they were up 🙈). But …

Sitting and standing
The boys have gone through a MASSIVE development spurt this week, definitely the biggest change in what they’re able to do so far. Both are starting to try and crawl on all fours, George is more successful with this but looks like an uncoordinated baby elephant 🐘 stuck in the mud as he jerkily lifts …
Cuteness overload
A hot, humid, mosquito bitten week and despite our best efforts to ward off our dragon-sized resident mosquitoes, the boys looked like a dot to dot drawing on their arms and faces last week 🙁 poor chaps, but this hasn’t slowed them down any and there 0-crawling time is rapidly increasing and their sense of …
8 months in, 8 months out
8 months in 🤰🏽 8 months out 👶🏼👶🏼 and although the latter 8 months has been hard, it was much better than the pregnancy 8 months - at least I can escape them at night now for a few hours of peace and sleep 😂😴 Peak : George did something first! 🥳 Up until now …
We like to move it move it
So we missed a week! Somewhere between no sleep and new teeth I completely forgot 🙈 we’ve had a ‘character building’ two weeks and now have two speedy belly crawling, tiny toothed and sitting little lads 👶🏼👶🏼 who are starting to happily play alongside each other and use us as human climbing frames. Peak : …

What do you get if you cross two babies with days of endless heat?…. Tired parents
This week we (parentals) were hit with a NASTY flu bug, thankfully that has passed now and THANKFULLY the little tykes managed to avoid it! Peak : generally our boys are REALLY happy little chappies, and after a few days in bed and not seeing them as much you REALLY appreciate their little grins, giggles …

Swimming lessons and sleepless days
6 months has been a bit of a killer in terms of daytime naps, grumpiness, teething and just the general demands of two very active, rolling, little boys. You would easily mistake a nappy change for a crocodile wrestling event and cutting all 20 finger nails for trying to hold a slippery eel. Peak ⛰ …
Hit by the 6 month growth spurt/sleep regression/brain leap
What a week 🤪🥴😓😭 we genuinely feel like we only just staggered over the finish line of Sunday evening! Our active, talkative, growing little guys have given us a run for our money this week! They’re still cute and giggly (sometimes) and thankfully today is a new day and a fresh week. Pit ⚫️ : …
