I got there for around 11am to a house full of screaming babies! Heh! Didn't take long to get them quiet though! The babies just wanted cuddles, and Tom just wanted to watch CBeebies! An easy fix in a few short minutes!
After everyone had calmed down, I carried one of the twins upstairs and Zoe had hold of the other, and Tom, Ethan & Euan had a bath! There was a bit more crying from the babies and lots of splashing from Tom! He's the funniest kid I've ever come across!
After the bath, it was picture time! Tom is such a poser! Heh! Apparently I'm the only person that he allows to take his picture! I hope that the twins love posing as much as Tom when they get a little older!
Anyway, the twins are 8 weeks old today, and they're looking even more alike as they grow. The only difference is their 1lb weight difference, their hair, and Euan has a birthmark on his chest! So, with being 8 weeks old comes their very first injections =o(
Zoe and I took the kids to the doctor so that they could see the health visitor and the doctor and have their injections. The stats are as follows:
Ethan: 8lbs 11.5ozs...He gained a whole pound this week alone! I forget the length of him and head circumference, though!
Euan: 7lbs 11ozs...He gained a whole pound last week and I think 3 pounds this week! Again, I have forgotten his length and head circumference already!

After the health visitor checked them, we moved into the next room to see the doctor. He examined them and determined them to be fit and healthy enough for their injections!
The poor babies had to have a jab in each thigh. Yeouch! They took it like true champions though, and only cried for a few seconds per injection. Euan was first to have his jab, and whilst Ethan was having his done, Aunty Claire was on hand to give Euan his much needed cuddles and kisses! I got the little man dressed and cuddled him lots and lots!
Next stop was the pharmacy for the twins' vitamins and folic acid. Everyone was making a fuss of the babies, so Aunty Claire kept Tom occupied and entertained...And he fell asleep after a few minutes!
A woman followed us out of the pharmacy and chased us down the road to have a peek at the twins! As we were getting them in the car, she had gone and grabbed her daughter to come and have a look!!
When we got back, I decided it was time for me to go so I could miss some of the rush hour traffic. I shouldn't have bothered as the traffic was awful - so I decided to go and visit my parents instead of coming straight home.
Now I'm home and preparing for tomorrows day out...At the ZOO!! I hope you're looking forward to the pics of the zoo, as I'm sure there will be hundreds!
