I'm just so glad I'm close enough to my sister in law that I get to see the kids often...That way I see them growing up myself, instead of seeing it through photos. So here is my update on all of them:
Emily: How did my little neice become 7? She'll be 8 in March, and that is just crazy! This year, she's lost almost all of her teeth! The dentist removed 9 all at once - but the tooth fairy only pays half for rotten teeth, so she has stopped eating so many sweets and is looking after them now!
Emily also became a big sister for the 3rd and 4th time, and she's so wonderful. She's a great help to my sister in law and she looks after Thomas & the twins so well!
She's doing great in school and she still calls her best friend, Christopher, her "boyfriend"! So cute! Christopher is a Liverpool FC supporter and Des was hoping he'd get Em to support Liverpool too, but she's still into Manchester United!! Uncle Adam obviously got to her first, so Des is now hoping Thomas will be a Liverpool supporter like him!
Thomas: My baby boy will celebrate his 2nd birthday next month. TWO?! I can't believe he grew up that quickly! It seems like just yesterday we met him for the very first time and took him on his first Zoo trip when he was 3 months old. After that it was the aquarium, Welsh mountain zoo and lots of other fun places!
Tom now has a full set of teeth and is saying some words. He's a little behind in talking so is seeing a speech therapist. He's also off for a hearing test next week to rule that out! His favourite word is "Nemo"!
Thomas is always happy and laughing, and whenever I go round he gets excited because I take my camera. He will pose like there's no tomorrow, and laugh and giggle through 100 or more photographs! This is great for me because I'm making another scrapbook for my sister in law, so I need all the photos of the kids I can get! Funny thing is that he never smiles for him mum when she wants to take pics of him! LOL! It's our thing!
Thomas also became a big brother for the first and second time this year. He doesn't like it though, so we have to make sure we make a huge fuss of him whenever we visit! Don't worry though, it's not hard! He loves reading and he loves igglepiggle, so we play with igglepiggle and read and it's all good!
Ethan: is 3 weeks old on Tuesday. In his 3 weeks of life, he's become a great sleeper during the day and a great wide-awaker at night! He's doted on my his big sister and is now weighing almost 5lbs!
Ethan looks just like his Dad, which is wierd because although him and Euan are identical, Euan looks more like his mum! It must be the hair! He's kind of bald on top and he has tufty hair around the sides! Heh!
I think Ethan is going to become a fan of the camera, just like his oldr brother, Thomas!
Euan: will also be 3 weeks old on Tuesday. He's a great sleeper at night and likes to be asleep at night time! He's weighing over 4lbs now and is home from the hospital in time for Christmas. The miracle twin really is a miracle!
Euan is a smaller version of his identical brother, Ethan. His nose is so tiny but still a little crusty from having the feeding tube in for so long. His little hand is also black and purple where the hospital took blood from him before he came home.
