HAPPY NINE MONTHS IvY & ViOLET!

The monkeys have now been out of the womb for as long as they should have stayed in! And what beautiful monkeys they are. Ivy is now getting on for 13 pounds and Violet for 11; they're both sitting up with little help and can stand very well with assitance; they have very different eating styles (Ivy takes quite a... dynamic approach; Violet is sensibly measured) and dancing styles (Violet does some incredible, balletic, leg work and Ivy is more of gymnast/slash/head-banger). Anyway, sorry for the lack of posts, it's been a bit crazy with the heat lately - who needs sleep when there's good weather?! - and some of us have had a few examinations. Bearing in mind the latter, I'm felling a little drained of imagination and vocabulary; so if anyone has any caption suggestions for the following photographs we'd be very grateful :-)

Being the birth & death day of old Bill,
I shallst relate in pentametric verse:

Violet and Ivy were weighed on Tuesday:
Eleven pounds and eight the latter was,
the former nine and seven, catching up.
But they're not the only ones getting big.
Their parents have of late been growing too,
indulging in a stream of cho co late;
('if chocolate be the food of love, eat on')
paddling in a flowing river of cake;
swimming in a resevoir of biscuit;
diving the depths of an ocean of cheese;
cruising the seas of awful metaphor.
and so on and so forth et-cetera.
Please forgive th'unsubtle lack of rhyme,
I would have tried but for a lack of t...
