Welcome Nik! Alexandra was born on 6th April (I was due on the 30th March) and I started out in the April group but found them to be way to quiet too. Your girls sound beautiful, I am really loving this age too. When they actually come to you for cuddles melts my heart. DD loves Yo gabba gabba and goes crazy when she hears it starting

JM - We've done the long trip in the car thing (10hrs) and it wasn't fun with 1 kid let alone 2 so well done on surviving the trip and Happy Birthday! for Friday

I have finished buying birthday presents. Not going too crazy - I've got a bunnykins melamine bowl/plate/cup set, a ride on toy and some books. We are obsessed with books here atm. DD sits for ages just flicking the pages over and over and over again. We have only just had first steps here last week but DD prefers to crawl. She is super cautious still, will stand on her own for ages until she realises that she's not holding onto anything
