So it's been a long time since the last post. Mostly because there's been sickness and sleep deprivation, but also because of the teething, the drooling, the snot... It's amazing how much fluid a tiny little baby will produce. Then it's multiplied by 2! So far, we've got one tooth to show for it. Alex's bottom left tooth poked out over the weekend. We're still waiting for Libby's teeth to appear, but are sure it will be soon, given her rosy cheeks.
We all had some form of flu/cold/infection last week, which kept mummy and daddy home too. We are all on the mend now and just trying to get some sleep.
I've got to go to Leicester tomorrow to give a lecture. Means I have to get up early to catch a very early train.
Here are some funny videos. One shows how Libby and Alex play together and the other shows them both eating apples. Alex really loved his apple this day.
Week 1 back at work is over and we survived. The kids really love the daycare which is very nice. We've also gotten better at getting out of the house. It now only takes an hour and a half. We take the kids in the stroller on the bus (see pic below) and so far have not had any trouble with that even though we often travel during rush hour. This week at daycare the kids "learned" about Shrove Tuesday and Chinese New Year. They got to make lanterns and came home with glitter all over them one day.
Work is interesting. I'm using my brain in a different way, which is nice, but it is hard to be away from the little guys. Will try to get some pics of the littles at the daycare.
Phil's reaction to England's performance in the Six Nations Rugby tournament.
Alex's one happy face on an, otherwise very whiny, bus ride home.
The stroller takes up a lot of space. This picture was taken on a day when we caught the bus in the middle of the afternoon, which is why the bus is empty. The kids are so happy at the daycare that they don't get in the same number of naps they used to, so sometimes they just have to have a power nap when we get home.
They both love their sippy cups. Libby is a bit better at drinking from hers.
But Alex is working on using his tummy as a drink holder.
Just thought this was an extraodinarily cute picture of Libby and Phil looking at each other.
Today was the first full day at the creche (daycare) for the babies. They seem to be fine with it while I'm looking at the blog just to be able to see their faces.
Will give a further update on their first day later, but they both seemed relatively happy when we left them this morning.
Luckily, we now get 3 days with them before we go back on Tuesday. Good settling-in period.
