New Stuff

Well, the girls continue to grow gangbusters. Okay, so they aren't 'growing' a huge amount, they are still only 16lbs (Lucy) and 17.5 (Kate)...but they are changing constantly! They still aren't crawling and I don't know if they will bother as they get around just fine rolling or 'commando' crawling. They get up on the knees and look like they will crawl but then slide down to their bellies...I guess that is just easier. Lucy hyperactivity caused her to decide to stand today though. She was sitting on the couch and saw something she wanted behind the couch so she stood, took her a bit of effort but after that it was pretty much a breeze for her...how quickly she got how to pull herself up though has made me a bit nervous for the future. I think she will be a little hellion. We thought Kate might want to try it after seeing Lucy but she doesn't care, she's bigger so she can reach things without the pulling up. haha.
The girls are playing together a lot more, and also getting very snatchy, I guess sharing hasn't sunk in yet. Thankfully they are starting to get less cranky when toys are 'stolen'.
It has been quite hot here lately, today was at least 26 Celsius. I think that's hot anyway. It was Chris' sister Jannis' birthday today so the family came over for a bit, the girls dressed up in thier 'sort of' matching summer dresses. They looked pretty cute. I got pictures I took a few days ago when wearing those dresses and will post those.
Oscar is visiting until next Wednesday, he is my friends, Nathalie and Phil's, beagle. Rusty certainly enjoys the company of his best friend. We went to the park today with the dogs, as usual, and met up with another of my friends, Meridith, who also has a dog, Cedar, who we call Rusty's 'girlfriend'. I think Rusty didn't know who to play with so he ignored them and Oscar and Cedar competed over ball fetching as to who with get Rusty's affections. I think Oscar lost due to his short legs...but he won anyway, as he gets to 'live' with Rusty for a few days. Poor Cedar.
Chris is away for work for a week so it will be the longest I have been on my own with the girls so far. I'm sure it will be fine. Not much different than being on my own during the day anyway...just no breaks until they go to sleep. Good thing Oscar behaves when being babysat so he's no more work than one dog.
