Walk

Jaap and Mieke have been taking care of the boys for three days now, and they are getting along very well. In the beginning the boys were shy, or pretending to be shy, after their naps, but that is over now.

Adrian is getting a new tooth so he was quiet today and spent a lot of time on Oma's lap. Leo started walking a lot a few days ago and the boys are crawling less and less.

Twin boys and our living room

The boys are no longer happy in their playpen -- they want to explore the whole room.

Here are some of the changes we have made in our living room.

A great Saturday

This morning we took Leo and Adrian swimming. We had a great time and spent 45 minutes in the warm water with them. They're not afraid to go under water -- though they don't quite know to close their mouths -- and Leo is even making some swimming motions. They swim with a blue hat against the sun.

When they went to bed Sasha and I both swam individually. In the afternoon we went for a walk and early dinner at the Four Sister's, after watering the plants at Nora's school. When I went there to switch off the water I took both boys with me on the bike, that was fun.

We also learned that the glass table behind the sofa will need to leave the living room. We had put it there from it's original location in front of the fireplace so the boys could crawl on the big carpet there. I was sitting on the sofa and all of a sudden I saw Adrian's head sticking out above the sofa -- he was sitting on top of the glass table and trying to crawl on the couch. When I pulled him up, he then tried to crawl back the other way. Clearly dangerous, so the table needs to go downstairs. Slowly but surely there won't be any furniture left.

Leo is walking

Yesterday before we left for Ingrid's party we saw Leo making his first steps and caught it on video. Just like Adrian the day before, he was laughing while he was walking.

Here is a short video.

A vacation day

Yesterday was a beautiful day. We took the boys swimming in the morning and in the afternoon went for a very long walk, followed by dinner at Lyon Hall. We spoke with Nora over Skype.

Vocabulary at 16 months


I was testing Leo this morning. "Kun jij wel ... zeggen?". Here were his answers.

auto - buuh
mama - mama
papa - papa
slapen - нана (he repeated in Bulgarian)
poes - ma
boom - boo
Nora -- nena
Adrian - tata

Adrian has approximately the same vocabulary though his pronunciation is a little better. He "parrots" us more.
