Today, 10/10/10, is our 3 year, 3 month and 3 day anniversary of marriage since 07/07/07; it is also 77 days, until Violet and Ivy's little brother or sister is due!
(and it's my 24th birthday: the start of my 3rd cycle of Chinese years! - Year of the Tiger, of course.)

Ageing Signs
Happy Easter!!!
- Ivy and Violet are nineteen months and five days post natal.
- They both walk, run, climb (and fall) and dance.
- Between them they have a whole night's sleep.
- Ivy has SIX teeth; Violet has THREE (and a fourth in transit).
- Ailsa and James have been married for 1007 days, according to Grandpa.
- Violet and Ivy have learnt (and dialectified) many 'baby signs', including:
dog, cat, duck, bird, chicken, elephant, mouse,
crocodile, (teddy) bear, fish, pig, sheep,
Mummy, Daddy, I(vy), V(iolet),
dolly, book, bed/sleep, water/drink, milk!,
biscuit, cake, banana, ball, hat, bath
more, thank you, please, where is?, up-stairs, singing
and, methinks, a few I've probably forgotterised.
- Violet and Ivy can say
dadda (which means 'mummy' or 'daddy' depending on the context),
mamma (which means 'I've been hit by my sister'),
manana (which means 'banana'),
dawawah (which Ivy says, meaning 'Violet'),
awah (which Violet says, meaning 'Ivy'),
baba (which means 'bye-bye' or 'go away!' depending on the context).
So there you have it! Back with pictures soon. Possibly.

Toddling Twins!
Violet started walking (with both (!) feet) on Thursday the 11th of February. Hurray! We now have two toddlers to run after... Below is a filum of Violet demonstrating her new talent.
We wish you all a most happy and holy Lent.

By George she's done it!!!
Just a little update: Ivy slept through from 7.30 till 6 last night for the first time ever! It was simply incredible.
Back with pictures soon...
...probably.

Clever Monkeys
The monkeys have been learning all sorts of exciting new tricks recently. Here's one captured on filum courtesy of Godmother Marianne. Thanks Miss Lane!
Ivy took a couple of steps all by herself four weeks ago today! - but only one more since. And Violet's second bottom tooth is finally making an appearance.
Best wishes for the rest of Advent.
