The boys

Our boys are continuing to grow and delight us.
Just yesterday Michael watched as Bevan told Christopher that he loved him.
Awww... :-)

Bevan has typical toddler tantrums but he also has moments where he'll do
something clever or loving. He pretended to brush my hair today. He will
pat Christopher on the head if Christopher is crying. He uses body language
to tell me things like that he needs a nappy change or that he wants me to
put Christopher down and do something else.

He's been learning new words like carrot. He distinguishes between trains,
cars, busses and trucks now.

Yesterday he had a huge breakthrough and peddled a trike at playcentre with
his feet fully on the peddles, pumping his legs around. After a minute he
decided he still preferred his method of scooting along though.

Christopher is doing great. His baptism went really well and he didn't even
cry. He looked absolutely darling in his gown and bonnet. He is showing an
interest in holding things, and he can manage to wiggle a rattle or piece of
fabric if it is put in his grasp. He delights in being tickled and talked
to and will squeal and gurgle and smile.

On Monday Bevan will have his ear specialist appointment. And on Thursday
Christopher has his 3 month plunket checks, followed by his immunisations on
Friday.
