12th May
I'm really struggling to get time to blog, and I feel as though many exciting things are passing us by. For example - today BB and LL had their first visit to the zoo. LL was oblivious - to him it was just another stroll in his pram, but BB was made up!!!! BFS mentioned it to him in the morning and the excitement was unbelieveable. By the time we'd made the 2 hour journey there BB was happily chanting along (like a stuck record) 'We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo - how about you, you, you'.....etc!
He was so taken by the 'stripey lion' (tiger) that we had to make a detour en route back to the car so that he could see it again - and lucky we did as the sleeping beast had now woken up and was on full parade for all of the adoring onlookers!!!
8th May
BFS and I also had our first night away from LL this weekend (in fact a full weekend away from both boys!) We headed down to the big smoke that is London for a weekend of debauchery and shopping! I was treated to the most beautiful meal I've had at Gordon Ramsays restaurant in Claridges no less, and feasted myself on six courses which included such culinery delights as fois gras and lobster. Mmmmmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it! - As far as the famous peeps spotting goes, we clocked Jenni Falconer at the airport and Simon Fuller and Slteve McManamon in Claridges (it still amuses BFS how star struck I get!!! lol)
I had the nicest of surprises too when BFS had arranged a surprise meet up with a very close (and heavily pregnant) friend of mine for some scoff in Chinatown. This did actually bring tears to my eyes as she stays in Cardiff and I didn't think there would be any chance of seeing her before the new arrival. He always seems to pull these things out of the bag at the least expected moments! Most pleasing!
As for the boys though - I don't think they missed us at all, and were great for my mum. So all in all a relaxing time for all of us!
What else?
7th May
LL's cot was moved down to the lower level as I had woken on a couple of occasions with him looking at me from over the top wailing as he could see me, but wasn't getting picked up! He's now very mobile - and although not crawling in the traditional sense, he can by hook or by crook get his bum to wherever he wants it to be - part commando style pulling on the arms accompanied by digging in of the toes and bum in the air forward motion!!!
There are still no teeth through.
BB is still good with the 'THUMBS!!!!' (well apart from when we came back after he'd had his grandma round his little finger for the weekend!) Oooooh - and the other day he decided to of his own accord head off to his potty by himself, pull down his breeks and pants by himself and then in private do a poo! This - if you've read the history of his poo problems is a HUGE breakthrough. Long may it continue!!!
I've probably got heaps more that I've missed - but it's a mini update. I've not even had time to go through my pictures - which is unheard of! Hopefully I'll get some posted soon.......
