Our broadband was down for most of last week, I hadn't realised how frustrating it could be to loose access to the old www, but we are now back up and running, so 2 weeks to catch up on.





On Tuesday last week Squidge was 21 weeks old, but I forgot to take pictures until Thursday...

Fidget at 21 weeks...

After our brief photo call, Squidge and I took a jaunt out to Cribbs Causeway. Squidge was in the baby bjorn facing out and made friends with most of the other shoppers. The girl at the till in H&M even said Squidge had made her day!

Friday was a very busy but fun day, we had Naomi and Iestyn and Sarah and Toby over in the morning, Fidget was feeling a bit low so didn't join in with the boys much but had very nice cuddles with Naomi while I fed Squidge. Then after lunch I tried to get more packing done for the weekend as it was Squidge's first jaunt up to Hull. We went out to twinkling stars where Fidget was in better spirits, then back for more packing. I got the girls into their pjs and loaded up with milk, got a pack-up tea ready for me and M and got everything assembled in the hall. M arrived home, we loaded up the car and set off.

Squidge went to sleep fairly quickly, Fidget fell asleep after about half an hour but woke about 9.30 with another hour or so of the journey left, but she was pretty chilled about it. We got to Grandma and Grandad's popped Fidget in the camp-bed in our room, fed Squidge - popped her down in the travel cot and mercifully they both went off to sleep. So after a quick hello to Grandma, Grandad, Uncle A and Aunty B, M and I joined the girls in the land of nod.

Saturday was spent around the house, playing in the garden and taking a walk into town. Fidget had been talking about the treehouse since finding we were going up to Hull, so enjoyed a good sit in it... Saturday was Squidge's 5 month birthday so as we sat in the conservatory it was a good time to take more pictures...

Grandad found some crackers for Fidget and Uncle A to play with...

while Squidge enjoyed cuddles...

On Sunday we went out for a meal to celebrate Grandma's birthday, it was really delicious, Fidget chomped down her steak pie and the apple crumble.

Only Squidge missed out...

Aunty B took some pictures for us...

this one is my favourite...

We then went on to Great Grandma's to introduce Squidge to the rest of the family...

So yesterday Squidge was 22 weeks old, how the time is flying. Fidget sang her some songs, its a sort of medley of 5 speckled frogs, 5 little ducks and some freestyling about clapping - I love it...

Them both now...

Squidge is quite a giggler and likes a good tickle...

Tuesday afternoon was mummy's afternoon at Sally's. Sharon brought her new baby; Alexander. Fidget was very excited about seeing him, he is gorgeous, the spitting image of his big sister and has more hair than Fidget!

Well done guys!

Squidge can't wait to play with him. Thanks to Mush for the photos.
