Sitting up

Emilia is now sitting up so much better unaided.  Our Dr said that she was keeping an eye on her sitting progress as she though that she may need to see a physiotherapist at some point, but it is looking like that won't be needed.  The thing with Emilia is she doesn't want to sit up - BORING!  Why sit and play when you can roll around, holding two toys at the same time, whilst trying to suck your thumb, haha!  She is fab - I just love her energy so much.

So much so that yesterday I bought my babies a cage (Emilia cannot be trusted!! haha).  It is one of the play pens that can be used as a fire guard too, or for cornering off a section of the room.  But there is no getting away from the fact that as a play pen it looks like a steel cage.  We will be trying it out today :)

I forgot to write on Friday that whilst we were celebrating our cabin victory, Jens had Emilia up in the air in aeroplane position.  As a thank you to Jens for being the best Dad in the world, Emilia puked directly in his mouth.  BRILLIANT!

CABIN

After 3 days of stressful bidding (with me and my Mum video chatting constantly), our dream cabin is ours! HOORAY.  We sign for it on Monday.  It is the perfect first birthday present for Emilia and Eva :)

Here are some interior pictures:

And our lovely sunny deck. It feels like a luxury tree house (SO EXCITING!!).

The closest place to swim is about 500m away:

There is a cycle path really close by which leads into a big town, but the other way is another place to swim. There are some swings here for the baby girls to play on when they get tired of swimming in the beautiful lake.

But back to the real world.....  We had a hospital visit today for little Emilia at the lung department.  After the Dr listened to Emilia he concluded that her breathing is a little bit faster than it should be.  So he tested her with some medicine in gas form.  They put a mask on her and she had to breathe in the gas for a minute.  It was awful!  But as usual she just took it for the team.  About 5 seconds after she was back to her usual self, super active and wanting to do 3 things at once while I am left to pull myself together, after seeing my beautiful daughter in distress, for what must be the hundredth time.  10 minutes later he listened to her breathing again and thankfully there was no change; meaning we do not need to give her any medicine.  So now we just need to wait and see how she copes with the inevitible colds and coughs that await her in the future.  I am convinced that her incredible strength is going to see her through without any major problems.  Life is a garden and my baby girl is digging it (hehe!).  As is her twin sister Eva who is my little delight.  Me and Mandy decided today that she is the cutest thing in the world :)

Cute

I couldn't resist posting these, as they are just so cute.
