Mignon is crawling at 8 months and 9 days! After absolute weeks of groaning and moaning its like the penny just dropped and off she went! I think we need to get her one of those bouncy things as it seems to be her favourite thing to do, although I don’t really believe in them.
Any comments on this?
Isabel is also now doing the moaning and groaning bit, but not entirely with such fanfare as she is the more reserved twin. Shame, she also has terrible allergies when the wind blows, just like her mommy, so she has red and puffy eyes. My poor baby.
I also have the habit of calling them my “koekeloekke” (it’s an Afrikaans thing I think) and yesterday morning Daniel leant over his chair and said to them: “hallo my koekeloekke!”. How cute. Moments like that make up for a lot of whining…
Wow, crawling so early. Jolly Jumpers can be fun but I know of a couple of nasty accidents with them… So use with caution and only under adult supervision.
You should write down all the cute things they say so you can remind them when they’re older.
My best parenting moments are definitely when my sons show their love for each other.
We didn’t have one, but I think the bouncy thing could be fun if used used with caution as luddite lass said.
It’s lovely when toddlers do something cute like that, it does make up for that almost constant whining sound, hey?
love koekeloekke, what a cute name for them!
