Poor Holly!

Hi Everyone. Well as the title says, Poor Holly is ill again. This time she has caught the Chicken Pox, poor baby. We noticed yesterday she had a few spots and today one has blistered and she has loads more. It has been absolutely rife Cove at the moment, so I am not surprised at all she has it. She is actually in really good humour at the moment considering. I am sure once the itching starts that will change though. I keep saying to her 'Are you poorly Holly?' and she says 'Yes my need to go to hopital, my get changed'. (My = I in Holly talk!) She only wants to go to hospital because she remembers the great playroom there was when Natalie was in at New Year! Natalie is showing no signs yet, but I am sure she will get it too. Ian is actually off on holiday for a week from today which is a shame really as we won't be able to go anywhere or do anything, but then at least he is here to help with the girls.

I decided Holly needed a present today as she is poorly, so I got her a Dora The Explorer Laptop, which she loves. She was funny though, she took it over to where our laptop is and insisted on using it there 'Like Mummy!'

Well what else do I have to report? It was Mother's Day at the weekend, so we had a lovely day. Mum was through for the weekend which was great as we hadn't seen her for a couple of weeks. We just had a quiet day, Ian cooked a cracking roast dinner then we just chilled out the rest of the day. Here is a photo of the Mummies and the Babies...

Monday and Tuesday we were just doing our usual things, school and baby group. Here is Nat playing at the kitchen yesterday, trying to give me the frying pan...

And here is Holly looking really daft last night in our shower, with my shower cap on....

The girls are doing great (except for the Chicken Pox!), Holly just amazes us with the things she is coming out with now. On Monday she was playing with Matthew's Doctor's set and was listening to my heart and then said, 'Mummy are you very better now?' and later on came up to me and said 'Mummy are you OK?' Am I not the one who is meant to be asking that?!

Natalie is coming on great too, she is crawling now, but it's very odd the way she does it, she has one knee in the air and kind of pulls herself along. Ian has it on video so will try and put it up here later (far too technical for me!). She can still only say 'Bye' but she definitely knows when to use it, if she sees people getting ready to go out she says it and if I am on the phone, once I finish the call she says 'Bye'. Pretty clever for 11 months I think (but then I would!)

As I said Ian is off now for a week, we didn't have many plans, just trying to get bit and pieces done and spend some time together. I managed to go and get a facial today, which was my birthday present from my Mum (yes my birthday was 6 months ago!) so that was a great treat!

We have a start date for our extension, 12th April all being well (we will see!)

That's it for now,
