It's all in a name

When we found out the sex of our firstborn we came up with a very short list of two boys names. We picked Henry because it was old fashioned, rarely used, couldn’t be shortened, and we couldn’t think of any nasty nicknames that would come out of it. Since having Henry a little over two years ago, it appears that celebrities are choosing the name which is now making it popular. Supermodel Heidi Klum and singer Seal, Australian actress Deborah Mailman, and now ‘Pretty Woman’ Julia Roberts have since all named their sons Henry.

Ok, hold onto your hats for this one- I'm not sure what you'll think! Note it is not meant to offend yet is an unusual coincidence.
While Milly is very special as she is only the second other girl alive born to a Hobson the last one before myself was Dad's aunt Mildred. Unfortunately for her do not think she was ever called Milly though!
Maybe keep that story a secret from Milly until she is a teenager and if she ever becomes difficult you can always threaten to call her Mildred in front of her friends.

Forging a path, leading the way, setting the trend....it's Tiffoi...
Love the pics, I can already see that Milly is thinking "why can;t I run around like Henry?" And Henry is thinking " I wonder if ME can stand on the edge of the table and jump off?". I remember when Sophie was 11months Sarah (3yrs) at the time was working hard on Sophie's walking skills. First steps at 11months and by 11months and 1 week Sarah's coaching had enabled Sophie to RUN at top speed from the front door to the back door, skimming any door frames and corners my a centimetre. We then had climbing skills tuition. Up on the wall unit, bookcase, in fact anywhere involving glass and cupboards that would swing open and you could hang on a knob! I recognise the look on Milly's face, and Henry's! I do hope that Milly's knob swinging days will at least be safe!....heee heee
