Aaron had a great first Christmas with lots of presents from friends, family and Father Christmas!

The boys both had a small present on Christmas Eve which was some Christmas pyjamas to wear to bed which made them look very cute, especially Aaron.

Typically, Aaron and Ben decided to sleep on Christmas morning so I had to go in and wake Ben (at which point Aaron woke as well) to get them up.  Aaron seemed to enjoy opening his presents, although he was sometimes more interested in the wrapping paper! He got a good selection of clothes, toys and some little chocolates so thank you to everyone who gave him something!  As he was a good 7 months old, he was aware of what was going on, so he knew exactly what was happening!

He had his morning nap as normal (he was exhausted after all the excitement) and then ate all of his mushed up Roast Turkey.  He even had some grapefruit for starters and attempted to pull a cracker! The rest of the day he played with his new toys which included a lion ball bashing game and an electronic learning ball, whilst stopping for a nap at mid-afternoon.

He had a great 1st Christmas and enjoyed it all!

Aaron is now one week old, and we don’t know where the time has gone!

The first few days and nights were quite hard as he was always hungry, so we were up until the middle of the night trying to settle him down.   As the days progressed, we have started to get into a better routine where we are all actually getting some sleep at night – even Aaron is sleeping for about 2-3 hours at a time during the night!

We have had several visits from the mid-wife and everything has been OK.  He lost a bit of weight when 3 days old, but this was normal, and it was only a few oz.  The next time he was weighed – a few days later – he had put on nearly all his weight again, so that was great!  The mid-wife also checked him over, and Kelly also, and both were given the all clear.

Aaron was registered at the Plymouth Registry Office on Wednesday 11th May, so we now have his birth certificates.  The same day we also went and got pasties to eat on Dartmoor (obviously Aaron didn’t have pasties!) so it was Aaron’s first little trip out for a picnic in the car.  He seemed to enjoy it as he slept nearly all the time he was in the car, apart for waking up for some food! (he is a guzzler!).

A lot of the family have visited us over the past week, and it was good to see them all.  They all thought Aaron was gorgeous and adorable.

We have received lots of cards and presents from everyone, so thank you to you all!

Thank you to the people that bought the ‘bump’ any Christmas presents.  The presents were a very pleasant surprise!
