Stripey day

We went for a walk and both SV and MV were wearing stripes. TV kind of felt left out. The hugs and cuddles more than made up for it though. Such a joy to hold both of them at the same time.

All sorts

No, not the lollies. Just a few photographs of the two ladies being funny/cute including Pember finally getting to meet MV.

House hunting

We have started to look for a bigger place to rent. We have started to look at a couple of places and both SV and MV are excited to see what's on offer. After looking at two places we ended up having a little picnic which SV really enjoyed. She got to be silly and dig around.

Family reading

KT was reading to both of the girls which was fun. SV enjoyed it because she was really focused on the story, and MV enjoyed being held and listening to KT's voice.

MV's first swim

We have been holding back on taking MV swimming but we finally gave in and went for a swim. She really enjoyed floating around since she is buoyant. SV had a lot of fun too, and she is getting much better. She is getting quite confident in the water. We hope to get MV swimming nice and early as well and we are getting her ready at home during bath time. The NSW Government put out a great water safety video which shows how to get babies used to the water. It has been working really well for us. Highly recommended.

Putting socks on

We think that one of the reasons that SV is enjoying having MV around is because she gets a real live doll. Here she very gently put MV's socks back on which was no easy task as she was kicking the entire time. SV managed in the end though.

Laying around

MV is working on recognising patterns and paying attention to toys like Owly and Kitty. She is also working on different face expressions in an effort to start communicating with us. So far so good.
