Stuff! Update! Yada!
Not a lot new to report.
George has been walking since the day he got up and walk - as in - he's never crawled again. This makes for an exhausting day. Sam has dropped naps entirely (we've been fighting him for yonks on them) and that's adding to the tiringness of the day.
George has been tolerating a little yoghurt (hurrah) but has just chucked after a slice of cheese the size of a postage stamp. So no cheese, but yes yoghurt? I still haven't gone back on dairy.
Sam is trying all our patience. He has very few high value items to bribe him with, so it's difficult to motivate him to behave at times. Frustrating.
George still doesn't sleep well - but we have narrowed it down to being actually hungry - he is HUNGRY so that's that. Not much we can do about it.
Sam is learning to read at the moment - it's really interesting to watch him work it out, and to share with him. Super exciting. He's very much not at the reading yet stage, but he's very into what he can do.
George loves to walk, outside in particular, and every morning demands his shoes on and to go out as soon as dawn breaks - walking across our 10acre block to say hello to the horses - he's probably walking ?3-400m at a stretch?
George had a weigh and measure the other day and has slid down the rankings. He's now between the 90th and 95th percentile for height and just over the 50th for weight. He's a bit smaller than Sam who was about his current size four months earlier at 7-9mths. George is currently 80cm tall and 10.5kg in weight (about the same he was a couple of months ago in weight - I think it's all the walking).
