Wrestling

They love to wrestle, bundle and play fight... Particularly George who gets a rather savage look in his eyes and really goes for it. Tonight we talked about wrestlers having stage names...after some private discussion, the girls announced that they were the 'Super Slapper Sisters '. 😂

Ringer

Sam is copying everything that George does, even going so far as to fake hurt himself when his brother does. He copies him bundling too and runs up screaming and jumping on me. We play games where the girls and I tell George to do something to get Sam to copy! He is such a happy little boy.

George eating

George has started really eating. Even though he is by far the biggest of our babies, he has been the oldest to start eating! He really wasnt fussed to begin with but is now eating like a pro - here is him eating his first banana - but put off by Lucys singing!!

 

He loves being part of it when we are eating at the table!!

He also poohed in the bath tonight - Lucy got out quicker than greesed lightning!!!

 

And this is the girls in the rain the other day - how stylish!!

 

Funny stuff

All about Samuel

Sam was born 8 days late on November 3rd. He is beautiful. He looks a little like Lucy, but is mostly himself! He looks very different at times, its his eyes! He is 8 weeks old now, really smiling and talking in coos. He is still sleeping an awful lot during the day but is also doing well at night. He is a bit miserable of an evening, but its wind and dentinox is helping...he just likes to be walked around!
He slept through a lot of his first Christmas though!
His sisters adore him. I have to tell them to give him a breather! They live to make him smile, and to hold him and don't mind when he is sick!
George has been fabulous too. When we got home from hospital with Sam, George cried as soon as he saw him..but soon calmed down and now is fabulous with him and very caring. He doesn't like it if Sam cries and tries to hold his hand and calm him. He gives him lots of kisses and dog sniffs too!

Sam is the final part of the family and makes us complete xxxxxx

The things they say...

I have been given some maternity belts to help with the strain that this pregnancy is putting on my pelvis. Duncan had one look at it poking out the top of my trousers and remarked that it looked like a nappy. Kerry pops round to drop off her guineas and George informs her.. 'Mummy got a nappy on!' Little terror!!!
He also says 'mine' instead of 'my', giving him a little German sound. Ted climbed up him the other day, while George shouted 'mine arm, mine arm!!' Its so so funny.

At dinner, Lucy was pleading her case to stay up as late as Amelia, so Amelia cries indignantly 'She's trying every trick in the book!' Lucy looked at her witheringly and said 'I havn't got a book!' and neither of them could understand why Duncan and I creased up!!!!

Bedtime threats

We obviously use bedtimes as a source of discipline a lot during the day. Amelia was just mean to Lucy and was sent out of the room, George followed and told her 'Bedtime 7 o'clock for you Me-La!!' We have all collapsed laughing, the little monkey!!
