Here's Ines trying to be like Mummy (first thing in the morning, not quite awake).  If you can't tell, she has the breast pump in her hands - trying to help out and get "some milk for Axie"!!

Axie & Sophie (the giraffe)

Axie is like a wriggly little worm. I put him down in one place, turn around for a minute and next time I see him he's moved. What a funny little fellow he is.

Dancing Queen

Girl's got moves. Her most famous move is one we label 'shoulder popping'. It's when the body is still but the shoulders dance. Most often seen at the dinner table. Doesn't even look like she is dancing in this picture I realise now. But, she was.

DORA DORA DORA

We've gone from obsessions with gruffalo and elmo to true love with Dora. Ines was so excited when she met Dora. And when Ines likes someone she likes to give a gift. Lucky for her we were in a kids' store so she picked something off the shelf and tried to give it to Dora. She followed her around the store for ages. Poor Dora...

Sitting still. Must be watching DORA DORA DORA & BOOOOOOOOOOTS

Here's Axel in his bumbo seat. Unfortunately Ines thinks it's a potty. She is showing no real interest in actually using the potty, but does like to sit in it. Poor Axel, gets nothing for himself.

Ines & the gang

It used to be just sheepy and Ines in the crib. Nowdays, baby and sheepy are an absolute must but there are about 10 others who share the space. And, if I take one out she notices straight away and will ask after it. Running out of room in there!
