Back to Blogging

It's time to start blogging again - I am determined I will continue this time! I haven't blogged for about 4 months now and the children are growing up and F is developing linguistically more and more each day. N is also constantly chattering and it sometimes sounds like he is trying to say our names and a few words.

The latest drama to hit the Mini Mendoza's is chicken pox. I should have realised it was coming. Chicken pox has been hanging around F's nusery since before Christmas claiming another victim or two every few weeks. F came down with it on Tuesday last, and N on Thursday. N doesn't seem to have it as badly as F - which could possibly be because he's breastfed and has part of my immunity? Or could possibly be because he's just lucky? Who knows?! Anyway poor F was not happy with her spots and took a while to accustomise herself to them. Apparently they have now been accepted and have become like old friends because she was rather upset when one of the scabs started coming off 2 days ago. She spent the whole afternoon lamenting over her 'broken spot' and tendering to it with Sudocrem but, alas, to no avail.

Other news, N has taken his first unaided step. He has been cruising the furniture for a while and will happily walk while holding onto someone's finger, and finally, that first wobbly (and witnessed) step happened a couple of days ago. He's only attempted this again once or twice, but it'll come. In the meantime he is making full use of F's doll's pram to help him get around the place on two feet.

Well that's it for my first day back on the blog after my mini sabbatical. Time to perhaps go and play in the snow?!
