Last week when we went to Costco, Mummy bought me a new towel. It's really good because it is a green frog and I really love the "Green Frog" song that I sing at school. Here is me after my bath last night wearing it. 
And here is Krystal sitting in my green frog chair last week. I think she likes it too!

As promised here is the bit of our trip I missed off! On Monday morning we left Mums house about 9am and drove to Glasgow to visit my Gran. My Grandpa is currently in hospital very ill, so she was glad of some company and to meet Krystal for the first time. 
My Dad had come over and was there too, so he played with Kory mostly. He was absolutely fascinated with the set of Russian Dolls that were on the fireplace and spent ages putting them inside each other and taking them out again. Must find us a set of these me thinks!
True to form, Krystal cried for most of the time we were there! But she did squeeze in a cuddle with her Grandpa first.
When we left after a couple of hours, we drove as far as Dundee and stopped for some lunch. We went to pizza hut and had a buffet, which was yummy. We then went to a massive Toys 'R' Us. James bought Kory Dizzy, Roley and Muck toys which he is delighted with as he already has Scoop and Travis (for those not 'in the know' these are the vehicles from Bob The Builder) Krystal got a Vtech cow which sings and generally makes a lot of noise!

On Saturday morning we packed up the car and headed on a 3 hour journey to Ayrshire to visit my Mum and Tom. Kory insisted on packing his Thomas suitcase and wanted to put it in the car before he's even got dressed. It had books and toys in it and he was chuffed to bits with it!
The drive was ok initially, we had to stop near Stirling as Krystal needed fed and Kory needed to burn off some energy. We finally arrived about 2pm and got lunch. Then Kory and I went to Asda with Mum while James had a well earned nap with Krystal! 
On Sunday morning we went to visit an old school friend of mine, Nicola, her partner Craig and little boy Cameron who is 2 as well. The boys played while we had a good old gossip! Not very sure why they both have their tongues stuck out in this photo, I didn't notice until I looked at them on the computer!
After the kids had both had a nap, Mum and Tom took us out to a carvery lunch. As you can see Kory filled his boots with as much turkey and cranberry sauce as he could possibly get in his mouth. Laura came with us after she finished work which Kory was just delighted about. I'm sure he thinks the sun shines out of "Auntie Lola's" bottom! 
But the whole event was just a bit too much for Krystal who fell asleep in James' arms in the hall of the hotel we were at! 
That evening James and I got a bit of freedom, we went out for a drink and then to get chips and curry sauce which reminds me of my childhood! We even got a can of Irn Bru and went in the car and sat at the seafront to eat them, YUMMY!
We headed back via Glasgow yesterday - but I'll do a different post about that!

Well since Mummy clearly isn't going to tell you about the fun we had last week, I will! Daddy did some grass cutting while I watched him from the window, but I forget which day this was on now. 
I do remember that Wednesday was a really good fun day. We went a little drive to Dizzy Rascals again. We met my friend Daniel there with his Mummy and Daddy. Instead of playing on the small bit for our age, we went on the Big Boys bit and went on the HUGE slides. The man even polished them for us to make them even more slidey! 
On Thursday morning Daddy took me to the park while Mummy took Krystal to their group. I'm glad I didn't have to go, it's REALLY boring. In the afternoon I went to my group, Krystal stayed home with Daddy. That was fun having Mummy to myself for a little while. 
On Friday we had a bit of a lazy morning then in the afternoon we went to the car garage to let the man have a look to see how much it will cost to get it fixed. Then we went to Costco. I got a new alphabet Thomas game and we bought lots of food.
Other than this stuff, we just had some lazy chilling out time as the photos show! I don't really like getting my photo taken any more, so most of them are of my sister as she is very funny and likes the camera just now! 
Here is Mummy with Krystal in her little pouch. I think she looks like a little baby kangaroo in there.

Literally! Kory has been brilliant this week with weeing in his potty, he's not had a single accident or puddle, so it's safe to say he has that sussed. However, without giving details - he hasn't sussed the other type. Not that he is having accidents or anything (thankfully!) just that he won't go. He holds it in all day and then by dinner time is upset and has a sore tummy. He then gets hysterical if we suggest using potty or toilet. Tonight he'd not even go in nappy when we put it on or when I tried bribery! Just need to persist!
Will do a proper post soon.

Today I was a really good girl. After a lovely long lie with Mummy, I had a nice play then Kory and I both had our naps. When we got up we went out to the beach to go to Fandango's for lunch. I sat in my buggy and giggled while watching the fishes in the tanks.
Kory had lots of yummy food and he wouldn't share it with me, he kept telling me "Tistal only gets milk" and I don't think that's very fair. So I decided to show Mummy how upset that makes me and throw a wobbler when I was getting my milk!

I heard this on Radio 2 on Friday on the way to work and I was in tears of laughter. Becky is an 8 year old girl from Dublin who does prank calls. What's great about them though is she uses that "innocent" kid approach to really keep them on the line.
There are a few of these going around online but this is by far the best. Check this out, it's SO funny:
As you can see, Krystal doesn't always cry, this was her being all smiley and happy before bedtime tonight.
Today was day 1 of potty "training" as Kory wasn't well so we decided not to do it yesterday. I use the quote marks as if today is anything to go by, we didn't have much training to do! He has gone on the potty every single time, no puddles, no accidents, yay! 
This week has been great fun. I have lots and lots of photos. On Monday morning I went for my first proper visit to the dentist. After Mummy went on the big seat and got a filling, I went on there. It went up high and then it lay backwards and I opened my mouth really wide for him to look inside at my teeth. He said I was a really good boy and I got 2 stickers. I chose Tigger ones because I like Tigger. In the afternoon I went to Rambos like I ususally do on Monday's!
On Tuesday we didn't go out much, but Rachael and Caelen who Mummy met in hospital came to visit us. They brought me presents, one was a ball with worms and blood inside it which is so cool. We walked them to the bus and went to a different park on the way. 
On Wednesday morning we went down to playgroup. I played with Daniel and Krystal had a little sleep with one of the childminders which she NEVER does at playgroup, she normally cries! After my lunch we went to the doctors to get Krystal weighed. She is now 11lb 14oz so put on 7oz in the past 2 weeks. So she is still little, but I am too and I think the best things come in small packages!
Wednesday night was really good. I got my jammies on as normal and then once Krystal was in bed, Mummy took me out in the car to go to the station to get Auntie Laura. I was very excited. On the way home we even stopped off to get some pizza. By the time we got home and I had a little bit of pizza, it was nearly 9 o'clock!! So a very late night for me. 
On Thursday we didn't do much, Mummy went out in the morning with Krystal so I did some painting with Auntie Laura, and some Play-Doh too. It was great fun. In the afternoon we went a walk and went to the park. 
Today we got up and got ready to go out early. We went to Duthie Park and met Jessica, Sophie and Leanne there. We played for a while on the massive slides, then went to the Winter Gardens where there was a display of beasties on for little people. I saw a tarantula skin, a snake skin and some creepy crawlies! 
When we got back to the car, Krystal was crying lots. Mummy managed to go "bump" into a car behind us as we were coming out of the parking space. Silly Mummy! In the afternoon we had to take Auntie Laura back to the train station which was sad. I like it when she is here as we have good fun. I hope she comes back to visit soon. 
We went to get Daddy from work after that. He is now on holiday for 2 whole weeks which will be really realy good. Lots of playing, yay! When we got home, Mummy and I got out the fabric glitter pens and we decorated 2 pairs of my new big boy pants. Tomorrow I am going to stop wearing nappies and I will use my potty. So I got to make my pants all nice. I did some squiggles and dots on my ones and Mummy did some stars. 
I'm also going to be wearing my new jelly Shrek shoes. I really like them and chose them last week. Mummy is really impressed too, but because if I have something called an accident, it means my good shoes don't need washed! I have a sticker chart all ready and when I fill it up, I will get the new Numberjacks DVD as a present. I am so excited about that, it came out last week and I've still not seen it, so I have to use my potty lots to collect enough stickers! 
Last week we just did the usual things, breastfeeding group and baby group on Thursday and had the twins and Daniel round to play in the garden on Friday. I think someone needs to tell Kory that you are meant to roll the ball in skittles, not kick it! 
Now that we've discovered Krystal's problem is when she's tired, things are a lot easier, but it means we can barely go out as she will not sleep in the car or in her buggy, only in her cot in the dark. This photo shows her being totally amazed she has hands, if only my life were that simple!
This weekend has been a totally lazy one, we've done very little round the house, and not really been out.Well, apart from yesterday Kory and I went to the Next sale and got loads of bargains and today a quick visit to B&Q today as I was getting cabin fever. I'm still not very well with these stupid tablets, so not got much energy.
Yesterday we decided the time had come to dig out Kory's old door bouncer and give Krystal a shot. She wasn't exactly impressed with it, but didn't cry either. She'll get used to it soon I suppose! 
Now she's in the big bath with Kory, they had some bubbles last night. She was pretty tired and had been crying just before, hence the big red puffy eyes!

Yesterday Mummy took me to get my hair cut as I'd been asking for ages as it was too long. Don't I look really grown up, the lady put on some gel for me which made it really spikey, I love my new hair. Here is me pulling a very silly face too!
Love
Kory

Just wondering if anyone is out there reading this or am I randomly chattering away to myself? Jill, I know you are there...ever faithful! And Laura I saw pop up this week too. Dad? Chad? Anyone?

As the title suggests Krystal is 3 months old today, and to celebrate, she had a needle stuck in each leg...poor baby! She yelped when they went in, screamed when they came out but then settled and smiled at the nurse.
She's been really sleepy today, not wanting to wake for milk and out for the count tonight. Maybe the Calpol helped!
So now she's 3 months, it is hopefully going to ease a bit...anyway, Happy 3 month birthday Krystal!

As we've done a total of NOTHING for 2 days (I've not been well so not been out), I thought I'd just post a few photos. 
Krystal yesterday wearing her new Ballerina top
Kory shattered after doing jumping beans on our bed today
Both my babies in bed with teddies!
Hiya!

Today has been a really hot day. I woke up not well this morning (side effects from drugs I'm on for a breastfeeding related illness - won't bore you with details!) so after I put Krystal for a nap, James took Kory out to the park and I went back to bed. I eventually got up about 12pm by which time Kory was in bed.
We all had lunch in the garden, Kory was delighted with his Halloumi, pitta bread and tomatoes! And Krystal even played in her seat. But as babies do, they lull you into a false sense of security and then do a complete U-turn. So James went for a nap with Krystal for an hour while Kory and I played and had ice lolly's. I polished Kory's chute with furniture polish to make it really slidey, he was delighted and spent the rest of the afternoon zooming down it! I've now got a burnt left shoulder though - yes it was *that* hot!

Today was a really good day, I've not had to cry to tell Mummy and Daddy I am tired and I went to bed and slept lots! Mummy even went out with Kory this afternoon. This is me, Daddy and Kory playing on the floor this morning. 
All the way through dinner I played with my hippo. I have been staring at him for weeks now, and have finally worked out how to reach out my hand and hit him. He is very funny as when I do he sings to me. 
Once they had all eaten nice food, and I had boring old milk, it was bathtime. But instead of my usual bath, I got to go in the big bath where Kory goes. It was really good, lots of space to swim around and I even got some toys in too. This is Tigger, Kory let me borrow him which was very nice of him.
When I got out I had a lovely cuddle with Mummy before I got my pyjamas on. 
But I soon got very cold with no clothes on and Daddy insisted on taking my photo again, it's not very flattering is it? But now I am very tired and am going to bed. Night night.
Krystal
