Friday night was mummie's Christmas night out. I had expressed 2 bottles of milk for M to give to Squidge, so after getting Fidget to bed, set out of the house on my own - v-strange! We had a lovely meal out and a great chinwag. I got back at about 11, M was part way through giving Squidge a second bottle, so I went up to bed, shortly M brought Squidge up and plonked her on the bed, where she then slept through until 7.30!!! Well done Squidge!

Grandma and Grandad arrived on Friday, Fidget was delighted to see them. On Saturday we just hung around the house, but in the afternoon went for a bracing walk round the park.

There was plenty of time for cuddles...
Fidget got her doctor's glasses out of her medical kit, firstly for Bear to wear...

Then she put them on on which looked very cute...

I wanted to take pictures but she was more interested in tearing about the place!

On Sunday M got the fire going in the front room, Fidget and I sat down to write a letter to Santa. Fidget drew what she wanted, told me and I transcribed her requests to the letter.

Here is the letter...

As you can see, Fidget has asked for a kite and toys, and for Honour has asked for Christmas and also a motorbike!

M then used the fire to send the letter to Santa up the chimney...

Then there was time for more cuddles and books...

On Monday Grandma and Grandad came with us to Cribbs Causeway to get Fidget some new shoes. We ended up with boots rather than shoes, as apparently her old shoes are still ok, even though Brantanos had measured her and said she needed new shoes! It was great having the extra hands and it would have been really difficult without them so thanks Grandma and Grandad!

Squidge was 10 weeks on Tuesday...

Fidget at 10 weeks...

them both now...

On Tuesday afternoon, mummie's afternoon was at our house, we got out the glue, glitter and lots of interesting things to stick down and the girls (the little ones!) got to work. I didn't take any pictures or video at the time unfortunately, but here is Fidgets artwork...

Fidget had a great time, particularly running round with little A "going to the seaside"!

Things have been going well with the sleeping since the weekend as we have finally managed to get Squidge sleeping in her crib for the whole night, so we have got our bed back hurray! Squidge has been sleeping from 10/11ish until 4 when she wakes for a feed, then goes to 6am when she is woken by the house waking up and wants feeding again, but it is all good for me, it may not last but I do feel like we are making progress and am feeling human again.
