The last week has flown by, with Heidi seeming ever cheerful. She is getting more alert and fun now and is really thinking about trying to roll. No idea what she needs to do yet, but wih encouragement she starts to shift her hips a bit to the left or right, but her upper body tends to get in the way.

Last Monday saw us head over to mum and dads on the Bank Holiday to open many of her christening presents. It was a lovely range of gifts, all different and no duplications. Heidi quietly watched whilst we opened them, and chuckled randomly when we “oohed” and “awwwed.”

Most of the gifts have been put in their rightful place with some in the new cabinet in the dining room. All of our furniture has been replaced in there over the last couple of weeks, and so it all looks good.

We had an “opening” evening last night, using the dining room table and chairs and sideboard for when Paul, Dawn and Emily came ‘round for some grub. A very nice evening was had with a lot of wine. Rachel had been busy with her famous flans and a new “signature” dish of raspberry torte. All rather good.

Today we visited grandma and granddads for a cup of tea , and Heidi lay on the floor thinking about this rolling over thing. She was most amusing but got grumpy at around 1700h as she usually does, as she must get a bit tired.

A soak in the bath saw her come back down all talced and happy. Emily popped by and entertained her whilst we looked for a week away in Cornwall in the next few weeks. Heidi’s first holiday could be looming. That means wheeling out Fred’s travel cot and other bits and bobs.

Soon she is fast asleep, and chewing her fist as she now does…….
