Molly has taken off with her physical skills (I always think of Napoleon Dynamite when I talk about 'skills' haha) she is crawling - both belly off the floor and a very fast 'army crawl'. She sits well with no support and can go from sitting to crawling and visa versa. She is finally enjoying her food. We're still doing the 'baby led weaning' thing. Last night she fed herself shepherds pie - her 1st taste of meat and she seems to love it. She has the amazing ability to fart like a grown man and has some pretty good burps to match!! She is 16lbs 9oz (as of last week) so still a tiny dot compared to her brother at the same age.
We have babbling too!! finally!! her favourite is 'babababa' but there is also the predictable 'dadada' and 'mamama' which, although I like to think are aimed at her us- her parents, im pretty sure it's just a noise at this point!
As for Samuel, my dear sweet Samuel. Well, he is a horrendous ball of two-year-old pent up frustration for the most part. He hates socks, shoes, using the potty, eating vegetables, going to bed, when Molly touches his toys. Just about everything sends him into a tantrum - yay! However, he still of course has his sweet moments. His speech is coming along really well and he is now using personal pronouns. My aim is to get him to recognise all letters and numbers 1-10 and colours by April. I think he'll do it. He is already almost there. He has me in fits of laughter with the things his little brain comes out with. All those neurons joining and strengthening makes for some comical outbursts. Every time Molly makes a bee-line for 'his' toys he will scream 'mummy, quick...pick her up...oh noooo! no molly! please....DONT LICK IT' hahaha...he will also sit at the table at dinner time and say 'so...ummm...shall I call Sam?' I say 'yes, why not' and he will call 'Saaaaaaammm' and then say 'oh...he's right here' hahaha...silly boy!
This video is a bit pointless as you cant really see. But he insits on wearing the lower half of his Halloween costume (some dragon legs with dragon feet) at ANY opportunity!
