Cruising and Crawling for Christmas !
Well the first Christmas went well. We all went to Carols brother John's house. All of Carols family went and John and his partner Emma did us proud and we had a lovely day and meals.
Needless to say the boys had a great time and were spoilt rotten. I am glad to say that the boys are well again now. No more colds, coughs or croup.
The only major problem we have had over Christmas is the fact that with the boys being ill, they have not been sleeping well at all. They were bunged up and we had Karvel plugins to help clear their noses, humidifiers to help cure Harrys croup, in fact their nursery has looked like a science lab with all kinds of gizmos etc. But they seem to have done the trick. Being ill has totally thrown their sleep patterns and for about two weeks now we have been averaging 4-5 hrs sleep a night. We are so knackered their aren't words to describe how we feel. Sleep deprivation is a terrible thing.
There were a couple of big surprised for Christmas, Ben started 'Cruising' this is basically pulling himself up onto things and standing up hold onto furniture etc, then very wobbly walking/moving along holding onto things !!!
Harry not to be out done, decided to crawl. There was no warning, he hasn't shown any interest in crawling up to this point. He just got up onto his hands and knees and started crawling along on all fours, lightening quick !!!
Obviously my life now as a stay at home Dad has become totally none stop demanding. I have to watch Ben the whole time, because he hasn't really learned to sit down on his bum, so he just goes from being upright cruising, to falling over like a felled tree - TIMBER !!!! Needless to say he has a very nice collection of bruises at present.
Harry crawls too damn fast, by the time you've caught Ben and prevent further brain damage, I turn round and Harry has crawled across the length of the lounge squeezed down the back of the TV and is merrily trying to pull all the wires out of the system !!
Carol starts her new job tomorrow and I am sure the boys will miss her (and her them) after having gotten used to having so much time with her over the Christmas period. It has been lovely and I will miss her not being around as much as well.
I was going to write loads more but we have shut this internet account down and it will be turned off any minute. We are switching to a new service provider and this means I will be off-line for a week to two weeks. So I will write again asap.
Here are the photos taken by Carol:

I love this photo Carol took, Ben has this glazed / crazed toy overload look on his face. He is the Fisher Price Psycho !
