April Fooling

Benjy gets a new hair style - and he's loving it!





Hi five!






At Kith, again. Where Benjy likes to take off and explore under the chairs and tables, sampling dropped delights as he goes





"Nope, there's nothing in my mouth, promise..."






Meanwhile, Flynn busies himself with making a grass nest





 





Double trouble in the bath





Flynn visits the dentist and is a really good little fella!





Benjy, after having been an appalling eater, is now eating like a grown up. He won't touch mashed dinners - no baby mush for him. But since we took the advice to give up on mush and introduce finger foods, he's taken off!
He likes strips of ginger pork, sweet and sour chicken, fish cakes, veggie omelettes, quarters of baked potato, pikelets, muesli bars, and more. The downside is that he insists on feeding himself, and the mess is quite remarkable. He scoffs handfuls of food, mashes it into the highchair, throws it on the floor, gets it through his hair - but at least he eats now!







He also insists on slumping back in the chair with a foot (or two) on the tray. Attempts to adjust him are met with hysterical screaming! He can be a stroppy wee lad!

Catch up for late Feb

Back in Feb, Julia came by for a couple weeks for her fix of Flynn and Benjy time! We did the usual enjoyable things...


Like eating out!




There were, of course, lots of Grandma cuddles





Lots of playground time





Flynn insists on driving these days though





Benjy enjoys tossing potatoes and onions around the kitchen





Flynn enjoys a juice at Kith cafe





 Peekaboo!




Benjy's always after Flynn's toys these days





Benjy loves the fan and even getting a finger nicked hasn't put him off playing with it





"I promise I won't touch it again mum"





Flynn takes a moment to recharge




And get away from it all





 The boys adore their 'Love to Sing' DVDs (with kiwi kids singing and dancing) and find they are best watched in closest possible proximity





The boys play together quite a lot now, though that usually involves Flynn setting up a game and Benjy trying to wreck it. Flynn tries to be patient but it sometimes wears thin





The boys love a passing delivery truck/gardening buggy/rubbish truck
