Now that the floor is down we have gradually been tidying more rooms, this weekend, the hall got it's turn...

we have also been sorting out the loft ans have got our christmas decorations down, it is so nice that this year the christmas tree is not just adding to mad-mucky-clutter, but actually looks lovely.

Fidget has been having a great few days with her dad home, yesterday we all went to baby gym and did lots of rolling, swinging, rocking and playing with colourful things.

This morning we then went to the Jolly Babies christmas party and had a lovely and loud time.
We did singing....

playing with instruments...

dancing...

chatting with her chums...

and getting a present from santa...

a super time was had by all....

Fidget is 21 weeks old today...

Fidget has not been allowed to watch Strictly Come Dancing (or any telly for that matter), but her mummy is such a big fan there must be something coming through in the breastmilk...

look at that beautiful line!

M has been working hard to get our front room usable now the floor is down, and I have now finally moved down here...

So, this morning the mothers meeting was held at the Challis-palace for the first time.

Fidget was on good form and enjoying the new surroundings...

Fidget found her feet today! She wasn't sure why mummy and daddy were making a fuss about it though, I guess she has known they were there all along!!

Fidget is 20 weeks old today!

M now has all the fridays for the rest of the year off, and today we thought we would have a family day out to Cheddar Gorge.

We saw a fantastic cave, we are hoping though that it hasn't given Fidget a taste for her Auntie M's sport of caving - too scary! I imagine the ones she visits don't have concrete paths, handrails and lighting.

We then had a cream tea and planned to do a walk, but it started to rain so we drove up the gorge in the car and had our pack up, can you spot me?

The drive is now finally done and looks brilliant! I can't wait to get the front garden planted up, an exciting project if I ever get any time!

Here is a link to a very funny video of Fidget's chum Mini-Mush on You-Tube, dancing in his bouncer to the Irish Rover!

Right, time to launch another critically important poll, this time..."what should Fidget wear on Christmas day?". 5 outfits (or combinations of outfits) are shown below and your opinion on your favourite would be most appreciated!

So the results of the poll are in...

and the shock result is that "she is still a cutie", but it may get a bit more controversial as hours after polling has closed new photo evidence and parental testimony has been made available to suggest her hair may be growing after all!

my attempts to capture the evidence were hampered by Fidget's familiarity with the camera and her attempts to eat it, so it may be a while before conclusive proof can be captured but watch this space!

This now leaves the next question of what should the next poll be on? Maybe that could be a poll topic in itself?!

It has been strange today - just being me and Fidget, we have been used to having people around the house. But it meant we could head out to our usual activities and had a nice time at the breastfeeding support group.

At the weekend we bought Fidget a highchair with some vouchers that her great aunt and uncle had given us. Tonight we decided to introduce Fidget to it and to her new cup and spoon, to get her used to them in advance of weaning as I am sure that is going to be weird enough on its own!

also check out her new tank top from Grandma and Grandad Challis....

This weekend we had M's parents visit to help out with getting the floor laid and of course to play with Fidget! They brought her some lovely new clothes including the lovely flowered hoodie she can be seen sporting below.

The drive fellas turned up on Saturday, but were driven away by rain, but it is looking fantastic already.
The floor is now all down, bar some detailing in the doorways, and Fidget thinks it is fab.
