There you go !
Harry & Ben are starting the New Year with flying colours. They are coming on nicely and we are happy with their development. Harry can now count to 11 and is saying all sorts of things. It is funny you never teach your children guilt but some how they discover it themselves. Quite often when we tell Harry off, I will just say sternly 'Harry!' and he will turn and look at me with this little guilty expression and say 'oh dear - no' and he knows he was doing something wrong. It is hard not to laugh.
Harry is also being very sweet with Ben. Ben is going through a phase of hating having his nappy changed and he will get himself really worked up about it. When he gets really upset Harry doesn't like it and he will come over to Ben and gently stroke the back of Ben's head to comfort him.
For some reason Harry has started to wake up each morning at 4.30am, he always goes back to sleep but by the time he has had his little cry, both Carol & I are awake.
Ben is funny, he has the greatest sense of humour and is always giggle at funny things we do or he sees on TV. He still isn't saying a large amount, we have heard him say 1,2,3 but not very often. He has a very cute wave and says 'Iiiii' for both 'Hi' and 'Bye'. We were getting a little worried at his lack of interest in talking, but then the other day he walked over to Carol and gave her one of his toys and clear as a bell said to her 'There you go', then he turned and walked away !!!
So he can talk, we are convinced he knows loads more then he lets on, it's just that he can't be bothered to talk at the moment.
He is very clever, he really examines things and you can see the coggs turning, he is constantly working out how to do things or open things, or climb on top of things.
We have a sofa in the lounge next to a cupboard, on top of which is our phone. We have had to lay the back sofa cushions face down on the front cushions to make the sofa too high for the boys to climb on, to prevent them getting into the corner where the electrics are, or getting to the phone. (see previous entries for the boys exploits on this sofa). The other day they had got onto the sofa despite our attempts to keep them off, how ???
Carol saw Ben, he walked up to the sofa and lifted the top cushion up and then climbed onto the sofa between the top cushion ( the back one) and the front cushion (that you sit on), he crawled between these cushions to come out at the back of the sofa and then turned round and helped Harry up by moving the cushions a bit. He is one smart boy!
It is their 2nd birthday soon - where has the time gone ! - I will try and get them weighed one last time prior to their birthday, too see how they are doing weight gain wise.
I took some photos last night, as the boys were just finishing having their bath.
