Stu has gone to Spain

Here Oscar and Bailee are before bed eating their almonds.... they have these instead of milk for a calcium source and it definitely helps Oscar with his explosive morning poo... (Sorry Oscar if you are reading this 18 years down the track).

Stu is in Spain for a conference. He is looking forward to catching up with some of his previous UK work colleagues. Oscar and Bailee are missing him already and it seems very quiet in this big apartment tonight!

After a morning at the park, I took my trio to Cheeky Monkeys today. Oscar is so fast and loved climbing, jumping and investigating the indoor obstacle-type play area. I managed to encourage Bailee to climb up high and come down the slides (An improvement on last time!) Mickey Mouse came to visit, which Oscar got particularly excited about. He looked completely star struck! Bailee was impressed too and gave Mickey the biggest smile out.

I got out two new 16-piece puzzles that I had been keeping aside for the right stage. They are 16 piece, square shaped puzzles. Oscar mastered how to do his Fire Engine one within only a few minutes; I was quite taken back! Bailee got a farm one and by the end of the day could do it (And sing "Old MacDonald" at the same time!) Clever little critters they are!

Maple had a happy day today. She is starting to babble and sing a lot! Her dimples seem to be getting deeper!
