what the twins wore

We love our floral babygrowns from Uniqlo - thanks you BrandSlut for our spoil (all the way from New York) you rock! 

my new favourite dress

I just couldn't resist this dress from Witchery at Woolworths. Do you love it? I know I am going to wear it to death this season.

How great are these prints? My favourite is the lion one and the flamingo one too. Love it.

we are back!

Sorry that we disappeared for a couple weeks! April is always a mess in South Africa with so many public holidays! Not that we are complaining. We celebrated Easter, went to weddings, Bailey took the girls on a trip and I played house-house, loving extra days off from work. But now we are back! 

It's officially the start of winter - Bailey and my style rule is stockings are only allowed to be warn after Easter. So bring of the winter fashion, warm soups, long walks and nights by a fire!

Ps. How fantastic is this ponytail?

A portrait of my babes once a week in 2014 (39 weeks)

You are nine months this week sweet babes of mine. I wish I could capture every single little thing about you at this most delicious age. I want to bottle your smell. Forever feel your limbs as they are. Record every sound you're learning to make. Never forget your expressions.It would be impossibel to sum you up in words (I even find it hard to describe your differences when people ask) but here ae nine things about you right now.

1. Anna, your top two teeth have come through making your smile better than ever as you tease us with a faint hint your dad's dimples in your cheeks and a cheeky sparkle in your eye. You are enjoying the feel of your tongue on teeth so it is often sticking out like a crazy child.

2. You two are as thick as thieves at the moment. Where one goes, the other follows. What one looks at, becomes the most interesting thing in the world. If one is being tickled, the other laughs. I watch you scramble around the apartment, madly crawling after each other. Stopping here and there to examine a scratch on the floor, or the leg of a table, or the page of a book and then you are off again.

3. Florence, you love drinking water, straight from the glass. You shake your arms with glee and gulp it down too quickly more often than not. It is so sweet to see how excited you get about water.

4. When it comes to food, the only thing as exciting as water is double thick Greek yogurt (who cant resist it?). But this you eat very slowly, savouring each mouthful as you slowly lick it off the spoon, grinning at me with a big smile in between mouthfuls.

5. Anna your favourite foods are green smoothies which you sip from my glass, holding it grasped in your little hands; and freshly squeezed carrot juice (I give you tiny teaspoons  of mine and you cant seem to get enough).

6. Anna you have learnt to clap. And you are very proud of it. It is not quite on demad but when you get it you are delighted. Florence, you are learning to wave. Your little arm is arm held out and your hand moves up and down. You also hold your hand in a "come here" gesture, although sometimes used in the right context, it is also a display of excitement.

7. Florence, you sing and talk all day. Melodic little sounds of chatting and gurgling and gargling sweetly emerge from your big lips giving us a running commentary or a glimpse into your your own little world. "Tickle tickle tickle" you whisper. "Olayolayolay" you explain. You love the sound of your voice, trying out new sounds, repeating ones you like.

8. Anna you are so ticklish. Your most ticklish spots are behind your knees, in the dimple of your elbow, the lovely roll at the top of your thigh, and right down your spine. You also love the lightest, softest stroking across your cheeks, with your head flung back and your neck completely exposed.

9. You still fall asleep in the same cot at night. Top to tail. Although I do move you if you are disturbed. It is still one of my favourite things to see you sleeping together.
