I've been a busy bee since I last updated my diary. So much has been going on since I got back from my holidays. On Wednesday I travelled all the way up to Birmingham to see my friend Poppy. I gave her back all the 0-3 month clothes she had lent to me, and she gave me all her 3-6 month clothes to borrow. Isn't she nice? She also lent me a bouncy chair, which makes chirping bird noises, which I like to listen to. I've grown out of my bean bag really, so the bouncy chair is a nice replacement. On Thursday I caught up with my mate Isobel and her mummy Jayne. I met a new friend called Thomas and his mummy Sharon, and then I met up with my mates Alex and Christopher to do pottery. On Friday mummy and I were feeling like we needed to get fit after our holiday, so we went to Buggyfit again with Ava, Imogen and Alex, and then I spent the afternoon with Ava. We played on my gym and went shopping. I had a special weekend with granny Judy. She came down to give me my Christmas presents and babysit me whilst mummy and daddy went out. I'm afraid I didn't behave very well and woke up a lot because of my teeth, but granny didn't mind, it meant she got to cuddle me more! She bought me loads of fabulous presents including a new playnest that I can sit up in, a Christmas bib and some trendy hats. Yesterday mummy and I went to Buggyfit again to work off a few calories prior to Christmas. Daddy was away in Brussels on a business trip, but I behaved myself for mummy and slept through until 7am. That's much better than Sunday night when I woke up at 2am and at 5am. I think the extra milk and calpol definitely did the trick! I missed daddy a lot. Bathtime just isn't the same without him. I'm looking forward to seeing him when he comes home later. Today I had Christmas lunch with my NCT pals. I slept through most of it like a good girl, so mummy was very pleased with me. I've tried some more yummy new things today. I had blueberry and canteloupe melon for breakfast, but mummy thinks I'm allergic to blueberry as I was a bit out of sorts this afternoon after I ate it - and the same thing happened when we were on holiday. I've also tried broccoli and leek which I like too. All this solid food means that my reflux has got a lot better, so I'm not taking any of my reflux medication anymore which is good news. I'm seeing the consultant again at the end of January, so we had to send off a urine sample to the hospital yesterday in preparation. Mummy sat with me on my change mat for half an hour waiting for me to do a wee! I love being on my mat kicking about, so I strung it out as long as possible. I'm looking forward to Christmas. Auntie Cath and Great Auntie Rosie, plus Uncle Chris and Auntie Shellie are coming to stay. And I'll be seeing cousin Daniel, Auntie Emma, Uncle Philip and Granny and Grandpa Meikle on Sunday. But before that I'm seeing my man Oscar and my mate Gene. I'm having lunch with them on Friday and I can't wait.
