This evening Fidget has been having a workout, we put her on her front and she has been lifting her head up, unfortunately my camera work was not quick enough to capture the impressiveness of her press-ups, but hopefully you get the idea!

Fidget is two weeks old today! The midwife has just been and says that she has put on a pound already! Well done Fidget!!

well there has been a bit of a break in posts, this is because mini-challis was born on Friday 13th at 5:01am weighing 7lb 1oz. she is perfect and doing very well. She now feeds well and is a very calm baby, not making a fuss over bathtimes, being changed and is really rather polite when making it known she needs feeding (as long as i respond quick enough!). Her dad calls her Fidget, which is very appropriate especially when it comes to feeding.

Little Fidget would like to thank everyone for all the cards presents and flowers.

No sign of mini-Challis as yet, so I have been busying myself. We have quite a glut of blackcurrents and gooseberries (in addition to the bowlfull of blueberries available every other day). I have made a gooseberry jam, M has made two delicious gooseberry crumbles. We have tried a gooseberry smoothie which was delicious, and a blackcurrent and blueberry smoothie which was less succesful (wow it was tart!).

So a further endeavour was made to use the blackcurrents yesterday when i made a blackcurrent cheesecake (+ some little cheesecake and blueberry blobs with the leftover cheese-mix). Perhaps a rather extravagent requirement for additional ingredients over and above the blackcurrents, but it is indeed delicious!!
