Still here!



Gosh! where is the time disappearing to? The boys are now 10 weeks old and going great guns :) I had them weighed the other day and they were 3.6 and 3.8 kilos ( Blake being slightly bigger now) They are really filling out and losing that newborn baby look by the day :( I am sad that they are changing as I want to remember every moment of how they are now, all precious and snuggly and small - but at the same time I am so proud of them and how they have come along! They have already shown us what strong little men they are and I have a feeling that nothing is going to stop them now!

The other kids are all going really well too at the moment. We have finally gotten rid of all the flu and cold bugs in this house now (they were all seriously sick for about 8 full weeks - it was wearing very thin!) Lachlan is acting so grown up these days too. He is proud of his big brother status and spends a lot of time trying to show me how grown up he can be - it's really cute to see! He is so gentle with the babies too and loves to give them cuddles and kisses. Cody is a little more full on (that's just his personality) but he is so funny! He says the cutest things and I love to see how his mind works. He comes out with quirky little facts all the time - like tonight we were just sitting there and he says " Owls have big wide eyes so they can see in the dark and they wake up at night time and sleep in the day time" I have no idea where he learned that from but that's so typical of him - I think he is a pretty clever little guy and he'll do really well at school next year. Niamh is my little miss with attitude at the moment - she's just lucky she's so darned cute! She's a bit of a bossy boots and she knows her mind but she has such personality too! Mum and Dad say she is a lot like me as a child - god help her, LOL!

At the moment our day to day life consists of feeding babies and changing their bums 24/7. I am still waiting to see a smile from the bubs but Kim says she got one yesterday from Max and Dana was here and saw the end of it! The sad thing is that I would love to catch a smile but I am never sitting down talking or playing with them. I am always so busy trying to hurry up so I can do the next thing on my list that I don't get the chance to enjoy them. I really must try to remember to take the time to enjoy them both as they are because I know how fast it will all change.
