So not been great with the blogging still but wanted to get last week over before writing on here- the reason? We have been potty training! Martha had a week off Cylch last week so I decided to give it a go. Previous to Millie being born Martha was showing signs of being ready to be potty trained- I was soooo not ready to do it then, although when Millie was born Martha took a few steps back and I was quite glad of the extra time. So now Martha goes mornings to Cylch we are bit more restrained as to when we can do these things so given the week off last week we gave it a go. Millie spent the first couple of days with my parents so I could concentrate only on Martha. So the first day went pretty much like this, lots of sitting on potty, nothing in potty and lots of accidents- great start! Second day- 2 wees in potty one I think was lucky and one she asked my Mum when she was here for a wee, still lots of accidents. Thursday we had a couple more wees in potty and I really felt like I was getting somewhere. By Friday it was back to like Tuesday (first day), didn't even know there was wee coming. Firiday night and I didn't know whether to carry on or not and felt like the week had been a waste of time. Saturday morning though Liam managed to get Martha to wee in potty, they went out and then when they came back Martha was going to sit on potty but asked for her trousers down and as soon as her pants were off she did a wee, not sure if that because she was going to sit on potty or because she knew she needed to wee. That afternoon she was in the park next door and wanted to come home, when she did get in she sat on the potty- coincidence we are not sure. Sunday she had an accident in the morning but we have managed since then to get her to wee on the potty by 'squeezing one out! lol!! Bless her. She has continued to do this for wees and just after lunch today she even did a poo! I am sure this blog is great reading!!! Well anyway I think we have cracked it- watch this space.
Millie has now finally started on solids, I have been putting her off as we had a weekend away in London last weekend so I didn't want to have to take food with me then too. We did have to put her onto hungry milk because she had started waking again in the night but that seems to have worked. She had her first taste of baby rice on Saturday and wasn't sure but enjoyed it yesterday, today she has had pear and again not sure but no doubt before long she will be having a range of tastes and I will have forgotton life before weaning!!!
So as mentioned earlier we had a weekend in London, Liam, Martha, Millie and myself all in one room in a travel lodge- it wasn't as bad as what I thought it was going to be so that was good. Both Martha and Millie seemed to sleep well, and we managed to catch up with quite a few people so that was great!
Photos on Liams website have been slow going on because we have a problem loading them on, plenty have been going on facebook though but will try and get Liam to look at it and see if we can get it working again.
Feeling good about things at the moment, still have good days and bad days but decided to try and get out a bit more and not worrytoo much about Cylch, at the end of the day its not compulsary so it doesn't matter if she misses a morning. Hopefully that will make a difference.

Pics finally!

Snug
Marthas first day in Cylch (pre Nursery)
So a whole load of firsts here then!!! LOL! I am actually as we speak trying to upload Liams picture website with a lot more photos but not having much luck.
Snow!!!
New years resolution of writing on here has not come off so far but here goes. So as the title suggests yes we have had some snow! Our first of the year and also in our new house. Liam has not made it to London this morning, although I must point out that London it seems have had a lot more snow than us. Yet again we have some snow and the whole country seems to come to a standstill. I thought that we really didn't have much snow- my old school would have been open with this much snow, however Marthas nursery was closed, apparantly the head teacher couldn't make it in. Martha was very disappointed with this, since I last wrote on here Martha has become a lot more settled in Nursery, there are no tears when she goes in and she always says more school when we get home. Martha is also putting loads of words together to make sentences, her favourite phrases are oh dear dear and oh yes. I think these must be phrases I use without thinking about it but hearing Martha say them is quite funny.
Hormones are still up and down and some of the days over the last few weeks have been quite challenging. I think some of it is to do with feeling so tied now that Martha is in Nursery, I can't really getanywhere in the morning and then by the time they have both had a sleep over lunch time and then Millie has her feed there is no point going anywhere. I am hoping that over the next few weeks I will get used to it and things will settle down.
Millie has been doing well and she finally had her last lot of injections last week, she missed it at 16 weeks because it was between Xmas and New Year and there was no clinic, she then missed it two weeks later because she had a slight temp. She finally had them last week, although it was touch and ago as to whether she was going to have it as she still had a bit of a cold, in fact she still does today. So anyway she did have them- after the nurses spent ages looking for a thermometer!! In a surgery too!!! She is now a whoping 16lbs 10oz, well prob over 17 now and is thriving. She was sleeping through but the last few days she has been waking once in the night again, we have upped her feeds and hoping its a growth spurt. I don't want to start her on solids until we have done our trip down to London the weekend after next, we are going to have to take enough stuff with us let alone worrying about stuff for food!! Might buy a pot of extra hungry milk to keep her going a bit longer! Will see what the next few days bring. Its typical, if we hadn't been going to London then she prob wouldn't be wanting food!
So as I mentioned we are off to London in a couple of weeks. We are going down on the Friday and back on the Monday, its going be a hectic couple of days but will get to see lots of old friends which will be good.
Photos I know I have been a bit slack but will try and do it soon, if not this afternoon then hopefully this evening.
