Mega photo blog post

I see that time has been catching up and blog posts have been sparse. There are many new pictures of the kids doing all sorts of things. I left a number of sequences of pictures in the Flickr stream as they allow you to see quite nicely what the kids are up to. Janine is good at taking pictures of them when they are doing their fun activities with her. They are now perfecting the art of eating their own yogurts out of the containers they come in. This is extremely handy. I took some iPhone videos of this. See below. The video is a bit deceiving. Emma is actually the very very slow eater. She can spend at least half an hour or longer on a meal nibbling her way through food and Dylan likes to eat what ever is there for the eating.

Btw Dylan loves cars. He points at every car that goes by. (See picture below)

There is still not much talking going on. Emma can repeat a number of words in her own way. Dylan too. They are learning a couple of animal sounds like woof woof, meow and moo. Most animals still say moo according to Emma. They are becoming more and more interactive.

We are currently enjoying our beach holiday, but the pictures and videos from that I’ll upload when we get back. The kids are walking well and learning to climb many steps. Yesterday they walked to the beach and back twice. It’s a long walk for those two little legs, much further than they have ever walked before in our complex at home. They are loving it and are enjoying the beach sand.

Stats:

Dylan: 13.5kg

Emma: 12.795kg

PS: Dieter I have still not figured out how to make these videos run in htlm5 so that they will play on an iPad directly from the blog. If you want to see the video’s from an iPad click the picture link above and select the video’s in Flickr. They have an awesome player made especially for the iPad.
