Squidge is getting happier to play on the floor and better able to move about abit - shuffling and jiggling her legs, she can roll right over onto her side but hasn't gone the final stretch of flipping over.

She can also sort of sit up, she sits up happily in the bean bag. On the floor she will stay upright for a few seconds but is very easily distracted into falling to the side

On Friday morning we had Karen, Isabelle and Yasmin over from next door, me and Karen had a good chat and the girls all played very nicely together especially when they found the dressing up bag. Three princesses get ready for the ball...




Saturday morning was the first day of weaning for Squidge, so she joined us for breakfast with a bowl of delicious baby rice....
It went very well, after a bit of circumspect tounging it around her mouth she proceeded to get down to business, at one point deciding to bypass the spoon business and go straight to source.

all suitably fuelled up, we packed up the car and headed across to see Aunty M, Uncle A and the babies. I got to have a cuddle with baby J first off, he is so light, Squidge seems huge in comparison.
Fidget was pleased to see everyone and behaved very well, proudly telling me when she had turned away from the babies to cough.

Aunty M and Uncle A are understandably very tired, but seem to be coping very well with it all. While we were there, there was only about a 20 minute period where both babies were asleep in the crib, the rest of the time it was a fairly constant process of changing, feeding, winding and cuddling to sleep. They have a shift system at night so at least they are both getting a few solid hours kip. Keep your chins up guys, it will get easier!
I then got to have a cuddle with baby C. She has lots of dark hair and looks quite different from J who is the image of his Daddy.

These two were once little babies growing up together and now here they are with babies of their own - crazy!
Cousin A came across too, it was lovely to see her as she'll soon be Squidge's godmother.

That rare 20 minutes...!
