Oh god, the sick. We will never EVER get the smell out of DD's mattress. Going to have to buy a new one I think (seriously). We've had two rounds of colds, chesty coughs and a vomiting bug that hit us all (plus DS on antibiotics for an infection in the thumb he sucks and rubs raw with his teeth)... But we seem to be on the up now, I hope... Both keeping food down, and had a little go on the baby swings in the park this morning. DH is off work but poorly also so we've had to draft in Granny to help out.
Polka, remind me how old yours are? Under a year seems early to be pushing you to cut their milk down, I think? Mine are just one and cutting down now / switching to cow's milk from formula. DS is right off it, but I think he'll come back round, he's just doing his Mummy, I'm A Big Boy Now thing. I've been worried about them eating so little while poorly, but they're picking up now. We've got Health Visitor check next week, be interesting to see what she says about their diet and development etc as we haven't been for months (she annoys me, tbh).
What is it with the riding around on each other's back thing? DS tries to do it to DD, but he's 25lb to her 19lb and he squashes her flat... I shouldn't laugh, but it is funny. They don't kiss each other, although they do sort of affectionately poke each other on the nose 
. They do kiss and cuddle us though, and sharing food by stuffing it in my mouth is a big favourite at the moment (mmm, squished up baked beans gone cold, my favourite).
