On a Sunday afternoon recently we had a quiet party for the twins and my Birthdays. Emma and Dylan were a little bit shy but dealt with all the attention really well. Unfortunately they were not that keen to be held, which led to some tears and they had to come back to Mom and Dad for consoling.
Last weekend we went to another friend of ours 40th Birthday party. Since Emma and Dylan weren’t the centre of attention this time they where alot more relaxed. Either that or they have gotten more used to big get-togethers. Both Emma and Dylan were happy to sit with others which gave us a chance to eat.
For their birthday they got two brick trucks, one made from wood and another made of plastic. This is really encouraging them to practise walking. Look at the really cute videos below. Dylan picked this up all by himself. He learnt how to grab the handle and climb up and start walking. It is hard work for us. We need to turn the truck around after every walk. This gets pretty tiring. Udette and Bruce gave the kids plastic bikes for their Birthday. Just to see if they would ride on them we tried them out last weekend. Amazingly they manage to stay upright and can hold onto the handlebars. Dylan and Emma loved to be pushed around on their bikes. They can’t quite make them go by themselves yet. Emma is very keen to ride though. She rode for about half and hour. While Emma was still on her bike Dylan tried climbing the stairs (two) and came back down head first, with his arms stretched out. So he got a big bump on his head. While we were attending to him Emma tried getting off her bike and also fell giving her a bruised cheek. It was her first biking accident.
We took the kids to the paediatrician yesterday. It was my Birthday, so I took the day off. The paediatrician is very happy with both Emma and Dylan’s development. They can do everything they need to do. He has predicted from their current heights, Emma 80cm and Dylan 79cm, that Emma will be just a bit shorter than I am (1.84m) and Dylan will be about 1.8m. They will be tall in other words.
We have now started feeding them full cream cows milk. They love it. The sterilizer has also been packed away as they gather enough dirt when they crawl around that sterilising their bottles is no longer required.
Weights: Emma: 10.280kg Dylan 11.325kg
