Rolling Over
October 12th, 2011 | 
Author: Aaron rolled over on his own for the first time last Wednesday 5th. I managed to get him to do it by holding a toy in a position where he had to turn round on to his belly to grab it. He was trying for ages to do it and finally succeeded. I put him back on his back again to see if he would do it again, but he seemed to have run out of energy so didn’t do it again that evening.
Over the next few days he tried and tried to roll over again but couldn’t do it every time. However, he has now done it a couple of times since, its just a matter of him learning how to do it and building up the muscles in his body to give him the power to turn over.

Aaron’s 3rd Jabs
On the 12th September, Aaron had his 3rd set of jabs. These were for Meningitis C, Pneumococal Infection and a 5 in 1 for various other illnesses. He did cry during the injections, and afterwards large bruises came up on both his legs where the injections were, so we had to be careful with him for a few days after.
Aaron’s 1st Swim
On Friday 2nd September, Aaron had his first little swim in a proper swimming pool.
We went to the Pavilions as they have a fun pool there (Ben as well) and Aaron loved it! He usually likes going in the bath at home and kicks his legs and makes an awful wet mess, so we thought he would love the swimming pool as well, and we weren’t wrong. As soon as his feet touched the water, he started kicking and got excited. Ben, on the other hand, hates getting water in his eyes, so he didn’t like it as much!
The fun pool had lots of bright colours and water features which kept Aaron interested (and Ben as well), which was one of the reasons we decided to go there instead of a normal pool. During the time we went, 945am – 1030am, it was Toddler and Parents only in the pool which was very helpful as it kept the pool fairly empty and quiet. Would recommend the place to anyone with Toddlers!
We were in the pool for about 45 minutes when Aaron started to get fed up so we then had to leave. He did very well though for his first time in a swimming pool and seemed to enjoy it a lot! 😉
