Commando!

Maia started to commando crawl today!!
This morning Joshua said "Mummy Maia can crawl now" Thinking Joshua was being a bit generous in his description of Maia's rolling around the room i answered "No she can't. But she soon will be" Well Joshua got mighty annoyed and said "Don't say that!! She CAN crawl" I wasn't looking for a fight so I changed the subject. So anyway this afternoon Miss Maia did the commando crawling in front of Grandma, Grandad and myself. Joshua heard us say "Wow she is crawling" and he laughed and said "see Mummy I said she could crawl"
I guess Joshua saw Maia crawl first this morning when I was in the kitchen and i didn't believe him. ooops.

Funky Monkey, Chunky Monkey and Punky Monkey

My kids have been renamed as per the title. Wonder if you can guess who is who?!

Joshua said he wants more babies today!! I asked him why and he said it is because he loves having babies to look after. I assured him that 2 siblings were enough for him!!

Maia and Xander are still rolling all over the floor but both are making a good effort at getting on their knees. Both of them have managed to move forward even.

Joshua has started busy books at preschool. He brings home a reading book every week and is learning to write his name at the moment. He loves it!!

Time for some photos

6 months already!!

The babies are now 6 months old... wow.... when did that happen.

Joshua has been bugging us to let the babies sleep in his room since the day they came home from the hospital. Well last night the babies spent their first night in their new room with Joshua. Joshua was like a wee boy on Christmas Eve. He was grinning from ear to ear when he went to bed and whispered "I can take care of the babies now" He is a fantastic big brother. This evening Joshua and I wandered along the road to the post box and he said "Mummy... it is nice that you had the babies" Yay!! I am glad Joshua loves being a big brother as I would be lying if i said I wasn't nervous about how Joshua would adapt to not one but two new siblings.

Xander has been rolling across the room for almost a month now and Maia has finally given up trying to crawl properly for the moment and is rolling across the room now too. Yesterday Xander was in Maia's way so she just rolled on top of him and was trying very hard to get over all the while squishing poor Xander.

They are both having three meals a day now and I have managed to get both of them to eat fruit and veggies (Maia only liked veggies and Xander only liked fruit at first).
It is amazing how quickly they grow up.
