Team Blandix

Back in the UK

We made it back from Idaho. It was a fun trip to meet NooNoo (Grandma) and PawPaw (Grandpa). The flights were pretty good, although jetlag recovery with twins takes about twice as long as it did when flying without babies. They did really well though. They didn't seem to have too much trouble with their ears on the flight out and even though they both got ear infections, they were okay on the flight back too.

It was very cold while we were there with many days not getting above freezing. And the twins got to see their first snow (see pics below).

Both kids are rolling like mad. Alex especially, now that he's got it figured out, has gone to town. Rolls over almost every time you put him down. Libby is working on sitting for more than 30 seconds at a time. She does a great impression of a weeble - she wobbles, although she still falls over a bit. Both are eating at least 2 meals a day, which is fun. We've included a video of dinner time at the Team Blandix abode. Alex is trying to help with the spoon. Libby is very good about eating. She still tries to go after whatever I'm eating, which is always interesting. Especially if it's chocolate.

Hope everyone is doing well. Here are a bunch of pictures from the Idaho trip, plus a couple of choice ones showing how well the eating is going.

Happy Holidays - a bit late...

Happy Holidays to everyone. We've been conspicuously absent from the blog for the past few weeks. The main reason is that we moved from the 4th floor flat near Battersea Park to a flat on the 1st floor near Wandsworth Common. I don't have pictures of the outside of the new building yet, but will try to get them and post them. There is one picture amongst these many that shows the new flat's living room filled with boxes. We have gotten that under control a bit. The new flat is a two bedroomed one that is larger than our previous flat. The living room even has space for a table that we hope to purchase when we get back from the US.

We moved on the 20th of December and therefore we were a bit distracted for xmas. We did go to our friend's Lou and Charlotte's for a lovely day that included slowly eating ourselves to death for the entire day. The kids had a good time and were very well behaved. Libby even made a new friend - Nathan - who got to hold her, quite contentedly, all day.

The pictures below are a bunch that have been taken over the last few weeks in no particular order.



Was playing with the new camera. It's got all kinds of fun features - like color swap. But I also thought that Libby looked pretty happy in it.
They regularly hold hands now. Usually while eating, but also other times. Although, there's a good possibility that they just want to eat each others hands. They are now eating baby rice and some fruit and vegetables and everything goes into their mouths. The first phase of teething seems to have started as well.

The above two pictures are cute 'cuz they both looked really relaxed on their tummies at different times.
Libby is happy to try just about any food - whether you want her to or not. Here she decided she wanted my apple - I let her try it and she wouldn't let it go. She also tried to go after a cookie I was eating.

Moving day - the living room at the new flat.
We think Alex's eyes are going to be green/hazel. Not sure if it comes through in this picture.
Libby's eyes seem to be staying blue!
