I'll start with some comparison videos of Evie and Millie at the same age and with the same toys. Evie LOVED her maraca when she was a baby and Millie also seems to like to play with it. It is a great distraction during screaming fits!
The Bumbo is also experiencing it's second life. We haven't tried putting Millie in it with the tray yet, but she enjoys sitting in it and looking around.
I took this video of Evie giving Millie kisses while I was fixing dinner the other night. They really do love each other.
And, Evierella cleans her kitchen...all because she wants to see herself on video, cleaning her kitchen. HAH!

A week in February
February in London is not usually very warm, but we are trying our best to do some things. Unfortunately, the best day we had this week was Friday, but I forgot my camera. At least there are a few pictures and videos to share from the past week, if nothing too exciting to report.
Millie continues to grow like a weed and even did some tummy time without becoming hysterical. Lala will also be happy to know that she is now taking two baths a week (but still becoming hysterical):
Evie's Kookaburra also proves to be fun second hand (Millie's cute outfit is courtesy of Nana and Papa):
One day the sun came out and Evie wore her cool shades (thanks, Kate, Andy and Cora)!
We entertained ourselves by defacing some extra passport photos we had hanging around. Unfortunately we didn't have any spare ones of Millie to draw mustaches on, but she'll get one eventually. I especially like the one of me looking like a Mexican drug lord:
Millie can now sit in her Bumbo and has moved into the back seat of the double stroller, where she is much happier than she was when she was under the stroller in her 'cocoon'.
Here is Evie in her Valentine's Day Eve Cupcake Party attire. Blue headband (known as her 'blue crown'), heart accessories and new red wellies were selected by Evie. I made her take off the two pink tutus she was wearing before we left the house. She is getting very opinionated about her wardrobe, which leads to some ridiculous tantrums on occasion...
Both girls looked very pretty for the cupcake party we attended. Evie managed to sneak two cupcakes by charming one of the dads at the party after I told her she couldn't have a second one. She's already adept at the art of manipulation.
Finchley wasn't invited to the party, but he still looked good. I think he was a little jealous of Millie's ruffly shirt:
Sometime in the not too distant future, we are going to take some trips and spice this blog up a little, but until then we'll keep updating with the mundane. If the sun would come out, we might even venture out for some country walks or something...
