A very late 17 months update! August has been good; lots of time playing in the garden 🚗🌿🌤, helping Mum plant seeds and dig holes 🕳, making swings and enjoying swings, watching the birds (Henry’s favourite) and watching cows, adventuring higher with climbing and speeding up with walking! George has discovered a new favourite and …

“Brrrmmmm brrrmmm” and “mooo mooo”
We’ve passed the 16 month mark (this month has felt like a long and slow 🐌 one)! George still LOVES cars, lorries, tractors, anything with wheels that moves 🚗🚑🚜🚛 and spends most of his days pointing at cars and making car noises. Henry has learnt to spot cows and dogs 🐮🐶 in his books and …
Climbing Mount Everything
1️⃣5️⃣ months old and keeping us on our toes; both boys are walking 🚶everywhere and climbing 🧗♂️ everything they can (much to my distress and nervousness); Henry has discovered the delights of dog food (a handful of which he is rather partial too especially when sat outside in the kitchen sink drain) and George loves …
Busy busy busy
14 months old and we have two walking twinnies! George has gained lots of confidence with his walking 🚶and will quickly happily, and slowly, toddle around navigating the garden and all its obstacles amazingly. Henry has now also started walking and is quickly catching up to George, he’s not quite as confident but very steady …
Walking into 13 months
April was a WHOLE MONTH OF HOME 🏡 the boys didn’t leave the house once 🙈🤪🥴 which has been quite a change for them after all the travel, seeing lots of people and daily walks. This month we FINALLY 🥳 had some first steps from George! Lots of tempting with various cuddly toys, favourite toys, …
One year!
So this is a rather late 1️⃣ year update! You would have thought with lockdown we’d have more time, which we do, but the boys haven’t got the hang of social distancing yet 😉 and so we’ve been pretty busy still. March saw some lovely time with family in the UK still, seeing great grandparents, …
It takes a village
It takes a village... Cliche but true. My twin boys are nearing one and it has truly taken a village to get us all here; our families, friends, strangers. Our global village has rallied around us, helped, cooked, fed us, held babies, held us as parents, seen the early hours of the morning soothing babies …
Welcome to the no-sleep club
We’ve made it to 11 months and can’t believe that the two tykes are nearly a year old 🥳😮 the boys have adapted well to the British damp and cold and will happily crawl round the park (slowly) in their snow suits, wooly hats and gloves or enjoy a walk from the comfort of their …
Planes, twins and automobiles
The end of January, one month into 2020, we’ve reached 10 months old and we’ve done our fare share of globetrotting already ✈️🗺! Henry and George have visited Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼, driven back to SA through Botswana 🇧🇼, then a few days later hopped on a plane to England 🇬🇧 with a quick …
40 weeks/9 months
The boys were 40 weeks old yesterday or 9 months soon (at the time of writing) - makes them sound very old and have enjoyed the last week swimming, exploring the garden, seeing cows on the farm and meeting family! Wrapping paper was a highlight on Christmas Day and the toys only got attention a …
