It's exciting to be starting another year of the Siblings project. I really enjoyed last year's - everything was new. Now they're used to each other, and really enjoy being together. I'm looking forward to seeing how the dynamics change as M begins to walk and talk. Will they enjoy running around together? What will they talk about?
It's becoming increasingly difficult to get a photo of these two together where they both look at the camera, or at least stop moving long enough to not be blurry in the picture!
They're both so busy all the time. B is always playing make-believe, or dancing and singing to Frozen; M has discovered climbing up and down the stairs. M took 8 steps on New Year's Eve, but nothing since then - very bizarre. Her crawling has sped up a notch though! They're still very good at making each other laugh, but there are more frequents screams of rage when one or the other snatches something. We really try to work on the rule that whoever had it first gets to keep it until they're finished, so it's often a case of trying to find something more interesting to keep the other occupied. B has become adept at finding suitable swaps! Still lots of cuddles and kisses, and now a lot of imitation. Mainly M copying B, whether it's banging cutlery on the table or singing into a microphone, but also a bit of B mimicking M in a bid to "be a baby."
I really enjoy watching the girls play together, but I equally like the 5 minutes to myself I can get when they are occupied by each other.
Ha! They sound like so much fun, but I bet that they keep you on your toes.
ReplyDeleteOh, they really do!
DeleteWhat a wonderful collage, we have much of the same. Hard to get the littlest to stay still now, she loves getting up to anything and everything. Our toddler mimics the baby often, he sees how strangers give her more attention than him, because she's tiny, but he thinks if he makes baby noises, he'll get it too. Shame it doesn't work. Great pics #siblings
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! M is so speedy now up and down the stairs - I've given up following because she thinks it's a game :)
DeleteSounds like a house of fun and madness! Pleased to have found you through the Siblings project x
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by. I was glad to find your blog too. x
DeleteThey do look so busy together!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading.
DeleteSounds like wonderful fun- I find it impossible to get ours to stay still (let alone look at the camera at the same time!). I hope you continue to get the odd five minutes for yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt's a struggle, but I managed to have a 10 minute shower alone today!
DeleteAww they're gorgeous together - and I know what you mean about trying to capture the children while they flee in separate directions; I'm sure it's why most of my pictures are of Pip at the moment - he has to stay where I put him!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteAt least in the blurriness, you can see what they're really like!
Great photos it sounds like they are having lots of fun together x
ReplyDeleteThank you. They really do. When they're not stealing toys from one another!
DeleteAww, such a lovely collection of photos of your lovely little pair. I think you'll definitely see the dynamics change a lot this year... my two have got closer since the littlest started walking and talking and they became more equal. Thanks so much for linking up with Siblings. x
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm really looking forward to. Thank you for setting this up!
