Weigh in

So Harry and Flynn got there 6 month immunisations today and I asked for them to be weighed as well. Flynn was 8270gm and Harry was 8230gm.  Almost the same again. I was totally surprised as we thought Flynn had gained a little ground on Harry again. Harry settled quite quickly but Flynn bless him, cried himself to sleep. They had both been awake since 5.00am and were exhausted come 8.30. We spent the morning with some beautiful friends who just made my day, they are so relaxing and calming. The boys needed extra cuddles at lunch time, so I snuggled up on the coach with them and Georgia until school pick up.
Last night I had both the boys next to me as usual and I could feel them searching for each other in the dark until they found each others hand and settled with them holding hands on my chest. Twins really do have a special bond x

6 months old

Can you believe Flynn and Harry are 6 months old already. Time is flying unbelievably fast. They are both rolling all the time. Flynn has even attempted to crawl this month... He looked more like a little worm wriggling across the rug. They are both babbling heaps, harry said mumumum once but hasn't said it since.  Mummy's cuddles still settle them the fastest, but we have extra special smiles and giggles for daddy now. I love it when Ryan gets home from work and the boys really go all out for his attention. They are both sitting in the bumbos, although Flynn always tries to escape. They both love the jumpy activity Centre, think we may need another one. In the last few days toes have become there biggest fascination it is just so cute to watch them both simultaneously grabbing there feet. Still sleeping together and always holding hands. they have started taking toys off each other. They love there big sisters, who sit and sing and read to them all the time. Row row row your boat is a favorite for everyone. Still not sleeping through the night. One of my favorite things this month was waking next to Flynn and him exploring my face in the dark with his chubby little hands. We also had the DNA test done to confirm they are in fact identical as we were told they were fraternal. They have also started wearing some size 0,  can't wait to get them weighed next week.
We tried solids for the first time last night, sweet potato and bone broth, there faces were priceless, daddy got it all on video. I am loving this age and wish I could push the pause button.
While i am sat here writing this, Flynn has fallen fast asleep all smooched into my face, with a handful of hair. He has been really smoochy all day and giving big slobbery kisses.

Start the day right

We have survived our first week of school,  just.... All the kids for some reason decided that it would be cool to wake between 4.30 ànd 5.30 every day this week. Hopefully a sleep in tomorrow.
The first day of school Emily was feeling a little nervous, so to help her relax and take her mind of it, while we were waiting to leave. I streamed pharrel Williams 'happy' and Taylor Swift 'shake it off' to the TV and had both girls up dancing. They loved it and it has now become part of our morning routine once we are all ready and waiting to leave. Even the boys stop crying once they hear the music and see the girls dancing. It's just a really fun way to start the day and everyone leaves in a good mood.

Georgia plus water equals fun

Georgia is definitely an outdoor girl and is at her happiest outside naked at one with nature. She especially loves to play in the rain and luckily the summer storms we get up here at Tom price allow for her to explore them naked as it is still warm.  She hates to wear clothes and can't wait to strip off.
It doesn't always need to be raining just hanks bucket of water will suffice, just enough to make a mud scrub for her body or a muddy puddle to jump in...

First days

So it was Emily first day in pre primary and she loved it.... relief. We all went into her class and she was extra happy to see her friends after the holidays. Georgia got a huge cuddle goodbye and she blew me kisses.
It was so nice to pick her up in the afternoon and to hear all about her day. Who she played with, what they did. I'm looking forward to the parent info session, to learn what they will be doing this year.
Georgia had her first ever dance class today and she was amazing, so confident.i wasn't sure how she would be as she always has the security of Emily by her side.  She was however amazing and enjoyed herself ams hasn't stopped talking about it all day.

Growing up

I have such mixed emotions today. Emily starts pre primary tomorrow, full time school. Our little girl is growing up and fast. I will be sad not to have her at home all day with me, today we spent the day, doing a little painting and mostly baking. To prepare for the school week ahead. I think she is a little nervous as she was unable to eat her dinner tonight, which was her favorite roast. I really hope her teacher is lovely and does the best she can by her. A bad experience now can really alter the path she may take as school. I'm really praying the stars align for us in the morning, with getting everyone out the door with enough time to spare. On the other side, I am excited for her to go and learn, make new friends, explore her environment and then come back to me and tell me all about it.
There is also a first for Georgia as she has her first dance class tomorrow. I know she is very excited and hopefully she won't miss her big sister as much.
Harry has found his toes, it is just the cutest watching him explore them and try and pop them in his mouth.
Flynn is really trying to crawl he more or less does the worm across the floor.
I still can't believe they will be 6 months on Saturday and Georgia 3 next month.
