26 weeks old - 6 months!! and our first holiday

Lord Belborough and Brackett may well have thought that time flies by when you're the driver of a train (there's a test for you...), but I bet they didn't figure on how fast time flies when you're a pair of twins in PB.

6 months already - and only a few scars to show for it.

This week to celebrate our anniversary (we don't know the word for a half yearly celebration) M+D took us to Brighton on holiday.

We met loads of M+D's friends (Marv Jo Rosie & George, Lara, Katie & Lyla, Paul, Michelle, Darren Sophie & Charlie, and our cousins Fiona Eric Louis & Samuel) but one of the highlights was having our photos taken by Dad's mate Paul, who is a professional photographer (check out his website at blueturtlestudio)

here's a selection of his handiwork:











And to finish off - here's two of our shots:

From Dad "Confusious say: Yes it will frickin fit":



From Mum: "Supersonic ducks":

25 weeks old - in OUR night garden

"Yes our names are Joe & Evie, Evie-weevie-evie-weevie-evie
Yes our names are Joe & Evie, Evie-weevie-evie-weevie-woo!"

The sun came out in PB this week, so we decided to get back to nature and take in the sights and smells of our garden.

And imagine our surprise when we had a few visitors....

Isn't that a pip!

(did you spot the Pontipines? - how many?)

24 weeks old - our first birthday party

No, not ours you numpty, we mean the first one we've attended

Cousin Lucy was 2 this week, so we asked M+D to drive us up to Rutland to see her and the rest of our family.

First off we dropped in on Great Grandad to say hi.
...and Evie suffered her first embarrassing photoshoot....



So we made a sharp exit and headed off to see Lucy.

Grandma and Grandad were desperate to get a photo of us all together - you can see how successful they were in getting our attention...



Finally, Evie and Lucy had their first bonding experience as the new breed of Jackson girls:

23 weeks old - weaning begins in earnest

Well we don't know anyone called earnest, but by golly we love this green crap that M+D are serving up.





We started eating from a 'spoon' over a week ago with some fairly boring baby rice - man it beats sucking on those ruddy latex teats anyday. This week Mum brought out the interesting gear. Peas are our new best friends.

Plus we can spread it all over ourselves, the chairs, the cat, eachother - keeps us entertained for hours watching M+D chasing around wiping stuff up.

(a taste of things to come no doubt)
