1 year and one day

I can hardly believe how lucky we are.

Next door are 3 loud mouth one year olds, singing (after a fashion) to each other.
They were such tiny dots when they came home and at last weighing Daria is still smallest at 16lb 12oz, Aurelia and Isobel were over 18lb quite amazing when you consider a baby is apparently supposed to triple their body weight :-) in a year.

Yesterday we took the girls to a play day at thr village institute with tiys, music and singing and many other babies. Then we went to Wood Green animal shelter where we saw some lovely woofers, Vermin Kay, Ben and Roland's Rat cousins with some Floppsies and Cotton tails. The girls were slightly intrigued by the animals but not too much.

When we got home Rachel came to visit with Jas and Joe which was lively and we belatedly traded Christmas presents :-)

On Sunday we had a lively party at the social club in Longstanton.
The local newspaper came and made a Rosie appeal video and took some pics that were in the girls very own birthday issue of the newspaper.

Round down get around, we get around

Here we are in our Choo Choo Wagon for the first time just after Christmas, mummy does not like to talk about how much the shipping cost!






Daddy calls these Darleks but of course we know they are bumper cars.







This is us in the quad trolley at Tesco we only did a little bit of hair pulling in it.






Mummy wants one if these fabulous Kettler trikes but they don't get sold in England :-(






Mummy also thinks these Bakfiets bikes are good but very very expensive

Anyway we will walk soon and take everyone by surprise

We are getting so big

The girls are amazing, Daria seemed to be saying mumumumum the other day, Aurelia has started waving and is as smiley as ever.
Isobel is a few hours from walking. She has been standing on her own a lot and grinning, and is so close to walking on her own.

They change so fast I feel old old old

This week Daria has found her squeal. Aurelia has found a very loud singing voice and little legs Isobel has kind of taken first steps, mostly she does this holding on. But she has just about taken a step although her jumperoo training gas her believing you can bounce everywhere :-)
Aurelia is now properly crawling and Daria is the fastest tummy surfer ever. The funniest thing is Daria's new laugh. I swear she is mocking us :-)
