A couple of weeks before Christmas Aaron suddenly started to learn things very quickly. Within the space of a few days, he learnt how to clap his hands and sit up on his own. The clapping hands is especially great as he has a big smile on his face when he does it! He also started babbling as well saying mamamamamam and dadadadada and laughing to himself.  It is very funny to watch!

In the last day or so, I have managed to teach him how to nod his head for ‘yes’ though he obviously doesn’t know what ‘yes’ means yet! He was doing it whilst sat on the bed last night, and nodded so much he nearly fell off the bed!! Lucky Kelly was next to him to catch him!

He is growing up real quick! 😉

Well, the little man is growing so quick that we have had to take him out of his Moses basket now and put him into the cot. He is still quite young to go into Ben’s room as he is not sleeping at all at night really, so we have had to move the cot into our room for now. A bit of a nightmare really, as it is quite large due to it being a cot bed, so there is barely any space for it. We are looking into getting a smaller cot for the next few months until he finally settles down during the night, but we will have to see how this goes for now.

Aaron is now teething and has been for several weeks. This has made him into a right dribbler, and is probably not helping him to sleep at night. No teeth have actually come through yet, but you can feel them all just beneath the gums so it won’t be long before they start coming through.

In the past week, Aaron has started to pull himself into a sitting up position!  He is a very strong baby and it is quite early for him to be doing this, but he fights you to get up so that he is sitting up and he seems to quieten down when he is in that position.  Maybe it is because he can see everything a bit better!

He is also smiling all the time now and when he does smile, it makes him look very cheeky indeed! All you need to do to make him smile it to look at him and talk a bit to him, and then he smiles back at you! Very cute!

Aaron is now in 3-6 months size clothes, even though he is a little way off being 3 months still!
