1. Happy Anniversary!

   Posted on 7:17am Friday 29th Jul 2011

    

   It was Mummy and Daddys anniversary this week so there were lots of hugs and kisses in our house - of course, we took the lions share of them!  We are loving our hugs and are starting to get very particular about who we give kisses too!

    

   We are getting about at great speed - show us an open gate (especially to the kitchen) and we are out of it! All crawling at the moment - Mummy is trying to get us to balance more on our legs, but we much prefer scooting round by crawling or on our bottoms.  It doesn't mean we aren't fast though!

    

   We had one - yes one - lovely day of weather here in Ireland this week, so we got our first experience of a paddling pool.  Took Daddy ages to fill it, and then when we sat in it we promptly splashed him with all the water!  It was great fun and kept us lovely and cool.

    

   Lets hope we have a bit more summer weather so we can go in it more often!

2. What Summer?

   Here we are again, another glorious summer day in Ireland - or not as the case may be!!

    

   Whatever has happened to the summer?  We were looking forward to some lovely long walks with Mummy only to look out of the window and see a full blown gale and torrential rain!  So much for the amateur weather forecasters telling us we were having a heatwave!  Lets hope it clears up soon so we can work on our tans.....

    

   Anyway this weeks teeth count is 6 each! After a slow start we are popping them out at a great rate - unfortunately there are other not so nice side effects to all this teething, and this involves lots of Nappy changes.  Not very pleasant for Mummy or us - if any one knows any great remedies for nappy rash let us know.

    

   Mummy has been super busy this last week so it was lovely to spend all weekend with her and Daddy - lots of playtime, reading books and trying to escape into the kitchen (us not them!) as we are flying round with our crawling.

    

   Anyway, time for some toast to make use of these teeth!

   Pinch punch first of the month.......always wanted to do that!!!
   
   Yesterday Mummy was reading the recently released Irish baby names for last year.  The top boys names are Jack, Sean, Daniel, James and Conor and the top 5 girls names are Sophie, Emily, Emma, Sarah and Lucy.  The top 100 of each can be found at http://www.cso.ie/releasespublications/documents/births_d_m/current/babynames.pdf
   
   Theres lots of interesting names there - who knows, Mummy might even see a girls name she likes if she thinks of having a little sister for us (and why can we hear Daddy laughing in the kitchen!!!!)
   
   As for us, we have a few more teeth coming through at the top - we have been very good though and not waking during the night, but it is funny to see Mummy and Daddys face when we try testing our new teeth on their fingers!  Don't bite is what they say........
   
   Mummy is busy baking - as well as her nappy cakes she is making little cupcakes made from socks - can't say that they will taste very nice!!!! They do look tasty though.
   
   Have a lovely weekend all x
