And say: My children grow more beautiful by the second it seems.
ZJ is three in January and I almost can't believe it. Hes still not a huge talker of english, but doesn't really shut up or stop talking either. He drives me insane, breaks my heart and makes me laugh my ass off. He loves his dad like woah, and could give or take me. The curse of being the working parent sometimes is too hard to bear for this mama.
I love the way he is obsessed with pirates and is almost always in his 'pirate hat' (a knitted black beenie with a skull and crossbones on it). He hates putting on cold clothes on because he is worried they are wet, yet can play in the water outside for hours on end. I can't get over the way he tries to be tricky and the way he says "what happened!?" he he pretends to fall over.
Last weekend him and I went for a wander down the long driveway and then down the very busy main road 'treasure hunting', me basically in my pjs and him in his boots clutching a bucket for all his finds.
Evie is a wee beauty at 14 months. She loves to eat everything and can devour anything within a few seconds. Today she started walking. Shes been standing up solo, cruising and everything for ages, but today she sort of just started walking like shes been doing it for months. Shes so clever and already has so many words that I couldn't even list them all. She says 'ahoy!' when ZJ has his pirate cartoons on and as soon as she is in her highchair in the morning she starts demanding 'mmmnanas!'. When we ask her for a kiss she leans over towards you and goes 'mmmmm!'. She has a smile that can light up a room and melt any heart. Her uncle calls her Scruffy, and ZJ calls her 'Weedy'.
