4 months and still able to fit their duckie outfits
Spring is definitely upon us, and with its arrival our daily outings to the park have begun. It is the highlight of our day and gives everyone some fresh air. This routine seems to be getting Sol and Safiya used to the stroller but its a pity their Mummy hasn't quite mastered the art of missing the goose poo.My big achievement last week was to find an energetic, friendly babysitter which will be essential once Mum leaves. She will be working one morning a week while Mum is here, then 2 once Mum leaves and is flexible to work another complete day for us if I start back at Discover. So hopefully Miss Aleesha will work out well for us. Our gym has a creche so I will also be making the most of this once my period of being spoiled is over.
The 4 hour work stint gives me a change of scene and some 'quiet time' without completely exhausting me and I look forward to heading home for the afternoon spent with Mum and the twins.
Shammy is still working hard in his first year fellowship and I know the highlight of his long days is seeing his little munchkins, even if it is just to gaze upon them while they are asleep or catch a quick good morning banter session.
They are definitely showing recognition of all of us now and starting to notice each other and this is just adorable to watch.

Our next big goal is to have them sleeping through the night and to this end we are trying out a book called the baby whisperer by Tracy Hogg, that Mum picked up from the library. Last night was our first trial of it and if it was anything to go by it might actually work :). After a dream feed at 10pm for Sol and Safiya with a bit of reassuring and patting around 3am they managed to sleep through til 6am, big smiles alround if this works. It even tweaks the routine we have through the day a bit and at the moment both babies are down for nap time even if Sol required a few pick-ups and put-downs a couple of minutes ago he seems to be happily sleeping again, aah the bliss of silence!
I will update you on its success, if it works which I have a sneaking suspicion it might I will probably be very annoying and pushing it at anyone who is expecting a baby soon so watch out :)
Yes Mum we are ready for our afternoon at the park
