Aimeeland

Aimee finally has a room of her own. After enduring months of procrastinating about the state of the spare room, I eventually found a good builder who fixed us a brand new ceiling. The new room looks so smart I half suggested me and Cat actually move in, and Aimee have our bedroom.
On her first night in the room, Aimee slept for a good 8 hours with one crying fit in between. Not bad and perhaps the start of a better sleep regime - well it makes a change for us from kipping on the floor.
It's been a very hectic social week for Aimee as she whizzed from one set of grandparents to another and met up with her Aunty Sylvie and great Aunty Margaret all within the space of a week. Luckily she has the fuel and energy to cope as she is wolfing down her solids now.
We moved onto a curous blend of organic carrot and apple puree. Not too watery, not too thick. A bit messy but she swallows more than spits out, which is a very good sign.



She is also feeding on breast milk slightly better during the day, but still relies on her late evening feeds to catch up on the fluid ounces.My next challenge, is to get Aimee to drink fluids from a beaker. But maybe in a month or so.

Good news on the job front, Cat has been offered a full job at the BBC (all jobs were up for renewal in the big shakeup). We are contemplating the idea of using their creche facilites at White City. Both our companies offer the childcare voucher scheme (tax free vouchers to use at nursery or childminding facilities), which we will probably take full advantage of.
