Dad, we've been waiting aaaaaaaaggggggeeeessss....
Guess who's back! Back again - tell your friends!
Oh my it's been a while hasn't it? How you doin'? Right, enough of the pleasantries, let get down to business. You want baby pics and baby - they are not babies they are toddlers - pics you are getting. We are on to page 3 now, so happy hunting. You can tell it's been a while as they start off in coats and end with them on the beach...
So what will you be seeing? Well the pics start at the lovely Gillet's lovely new house. So we have the return of Elea to the site, plus some grown up people... Given that we played Hunt the Easter Eggs in the garden I think these were taken at Easter.
We also have another trip to Italy - boy these kids get around.
Then there is a day at the beach. Tobes likes sand, although Madeleine is really not that bothered, in the screaming everytime she stands on it kinda not that bothered way. Which bodes well for our summer holiday at the beach.
Then we have visitors, who can we see? Why is Auntie Bec and look it's Derek too! And what's that? We are back in Italy. We must be keeping the economy of that place going.
Oh look it's a birthday party! Off to the countryside for the 1st birthday of Solenn. Not that we got to talk to any adults that day anyway as we were off in different directions chasing little 'uns.
Whoa an Owl! And Vultures, and Goats. And er Hens and Gerbils. It can only be the Mountain of the Marmottes - Marmottes - up at Sauze. We think they liked it. They definitely liked the Fort we visited though. Not because it was a fort, but because it has swings and a friendly dog. Or BEAR! as all furry creatures, well everything really, is known.
Other than the walking, obviously, the biggest change has been the attempts at words. BEAR is a fav, it means everything, usually cats or dogs, but any old animal will do. When planes fly overhead, they both point to the sky and shout "pla" (possibly). Cheese is Chi and Toby likes spoo for Spoon. Madeleine can do some crazy pirate cackles har har. And they are still so very very different. They play together a lot more now - and they both love being read to. Madeleine still tortures the poor boy. She is very affectionate, sadly her way of being affectionate involves going in for a hug by head butting people first. Then she grabs you (hard) and says "ahhhhhhhhhhh" and grins. While Toby tries to run off crying...
Holiday pics when we get back then…

sorry about the rubbish size - will try to fix as soon as I find time...]]>Driving before they can walk

I do apologise, there has been a bit of a gap between posts this time round. Originally this was going to be month 13 - but that makes no sense now. But it's not really month 14 either, and I don't want to miss one. Oh dear no, that would be bad.
While the rest of the house came down with the bad bugs Madeleine proved herself to be indestructible - she was fine the whole time.
So we have some new pics this, ahem, "month" - oh I have to find a new naming system - with special guest appearance all the way from the UK of Braeden, my fav is the three of them in the car clearly terrified of the Toby driving skills.
The walking continues apace (at a time) so to speak. Toby can waddle across a room (by which I mean slowly walk not grow a mullet, play for OM and sing Diamond Lights) and Madeleine can too when she can be bothered, as is her way. I reckon they will be there in the next few weeks.
The Toby has teeth - or white things in his mouth that will become teeth - at last. He doesn't look best impressed by them mind.
They have also started going to playgroup. Where they mainly run around and ignore what everyone is doing, but hey it's a start. Generally they are great fun at the moment - Mads plays peek-a-boo by covering her eyes then getting very excited when you pretend she has disappeared until she moves her hands and there she is! She also does some great Vader impressions and can cackle like a pirate. Which is mightily impressive to me. Tobes on the other hand is obsessed with saying BOO, laughs at ANY bodily function or noise and points at monkeys on TV or in books and calls them Dada. He also loves Brian Blessed impressions - especially a big booming “Gordon’s ALIVE??!!” Ah, that's my boy...

Well they are anyway, the other two in the pic are slightly older. But we still get to play with the toys OK??
Oh how soon they grow up...
So the twins are finally one year old. Hurrah *waves hands around in a Kermit stylee*
They had cake, well they HAD a cake which we mainly ate...it was lovely.
Lots and lots of pressies, obviously, in fact they did very very well. A big thank you to all of you! Some pressies are still arriving. The twins think it is normal to have a new toy every day for more than week.
So what have we learnt in this first year? Well mainly that their personalities were developed and obvious to see within the first few days of their birth. They are treated the same, eat the same, do the same things, but we couldn't have two more different babies if we tried. Note to self, toddlers, not babies, toddlers...
And the development continues, still no walking but it's probably not too far off. Toby likes - or rather can - stand on his own for, like, ages now (how technical and detailed was that!) and Mads can too if she can be bothered. She is more of a sitting girl anyway... She still has all the teeth too. They have slightly more hair, honest. And they can dance. Like REALLY DANCE…
There are two albums of photos uploading this month. Christmas-Birthday and YearOne. Enjoy.

Ah, these final heady days, when we were still babies, not yet toddlers. Look at how young and innocent we look...
So this month we have a selection of pics. We have a nice trip out to Alassio in Italy - which is beautiful by the way - especially the underground car park where we broke down...
We have a few of the twins' friends round for a play...
We have Christmas decorations. Before babies, the little glass baubles have lasted being brought back from the Czech Republic, lugged around London, brought over to France, not a problem. Mads broke one within 2 hours of it going on the tree...
And of course this month meant birthdays and Christmas, which to the babies meant boxes, lots and lots of boxes. Sometimes they even played with the thing IN the boxes. But mainly they like boxes...
Birthday pics to follow…
