Over the last few days Heidi seems to have grown a little although still relishes in not synchronising her toilet-times with feed-times. Generally two hours apart during the night it can take its strain.

It is satisfying to give her bum a wash down though and go back into a new cool nappy and she loves it too.

The milk consumption is growing and she has started having a bit water too, in between. Fred used to have a very very diluted water/juice in the hot weather but we will have to see what the latest thinking is on such things. We cannot remember.

Yesterday, as I set off for work, she gave me a lovely smile. It lasted for a few seconds only and went back to a glare. Whatever they really are, they have only just started happening so must be something “new” in the developmental milestones. I’m happy with that.

Today saw me return from work to a heavy drizzle and found Heidi in the bath. She was most happy until moved to the (warm) towel where she grumbled loudly. A milk session followed and she was happy again.

She enjoys sitting in her armchair this time of night, looking at the garden where birds are eating worms and berries on the cotoneaster. It has various functions to vibrate and flash, playing Mozart to river sounds (the £8.00 bargain at the car boot) and gives her time to contemplate the day that has just gone by…..

Tomorrow heralds the start of the weekend and a busy week for all of us afterwards.
