The big news around here this week is that Miss Evie Peevey is sitting up ALL BY HERSELF! A big pile of cushions is still required and definitely not on any hard surfaces but this is still a huge development. I tried to get a good pic of it for you all but it was more of an action shot - in the split second before she keeled over!
This week also saw Ollie and Eve going to have needles. I have been dreading taking them both along but it seemed like the obvious thing to do. Ol, not having had a needle in a long time, clearly forgot what was involved as when I told him he was only getting one while Evie had to get two, he started complaining that he wanted two as well.
Probably the most painful part of the whole experience for me was the waiting room. Why do doctors have to keep you waiting for at least an hour? Thanks to the wonders of iphone games it wasn't too bad but once Ollie grew tired of the games he thought it would be a great game to point to all the people in the room and one by one at the top of his voice ask me whether they had a penis. At least he kept us all entertained.
The needles weren't pleasant for the little people but Ollie was quickly subdued with a freddo. On the way home he declared that he didn't want to get any more needles. Smart boy.
Evie continues to hoover food and is enjoying lots of new tastes including vanilla yoghurt which seems to be her favourite food at the moment. She gets this crazy look in her eyes and shakes her hands with excitement when she gets a taste of it.
Perhaps all of this eating is why she has such chubby little legs. I was actually stopped in a shop the other day by a lady who just had to look at her chunky knees. She thought they were so gorgeous that she called out to her friend in the next aisle to "come and look at these delicious little legs". Surely this is the only time in life when it is acceptable to do that!
How nutty are my family? This bag of mixed nuts will be away for the next week. We are setting sail with Nanna, Poppy, three aunties, an uncle and a cousin and about 2000 other people on a cruise. We are all very excited, especially me as I'm just looking forward to having so many people willing to look after my children for me!!
