We had a nice day here. Like I had said, we just stayed put. Cameron was a good boy, woke at 7am, well he was slightly stirring, so we decided we were too excited to sleep (I'd been awake from 5.30 when Cameron stirred a little, but he went back to sleep). We got the video camera and went in saying Merry Christmas to Cameron - he was all smiles and giggles. We managed to get 2 presents opened (with my help, though he was trying to rip the paper with me) - he got the little lounge from us and that ball he had been eyeing off when it was all wrapped up. He was then ready to feed. We then opened a couple more, then it was food time. As it was christmas and I knew DH had been anxious to give him this - Cameron had his first taste of custard. Think he enjoyed it, but I know DH enjoyed giving it to him more .
We managed to get the last presents opened (and put together and batteries in) then it was time for his morning nap. This is our new routine that he'll sleep about 2hrs til 11am, then wake for about 3hours, then down for another 2- 2.5hrs. Worked out well as other family popped in during his wake time and got to have cuddles and see him with his presents.
So many of his presents need batteries though. Luckily a few weeks ago we begun collecting rechargables, but we still need more .
Yesterday we just had a family day at home day, helping Cameron play with his presents. I also dismantled the christmas tree - as it took up too much of Cameron's playing space in the lounge plus Cameron kept semi-crawling under it.
Jess - Sorry Tiahna's given a few bad nights, I was so hoping she would give you a sleeping through present. Hopefully though with those top teeth through it might improve soon .
Girl - Yay on the tooth , was this her first tooth?
When Cameron wakes we are going to go to the markets. I want to have a look for one of those inserts for the grocery trolleys. Has everyone else got one? Where did you get yours? I've only found them in toys r us, but didn't like the 1 style they have, especially for that price. Cameron got $20 from his grandparents (the IL's), so will put this towards it.
I know it may sound a little ungrateful, but I was very disappointed in their present, I would've thought they could've bought him a present rather then taking the easy option of money. The only thing they have ever bought him was a teddy bear when he was born- but he has so many and it's not one I can give him to play with as it has eyes and nose that can fall off, so it ain't that special. I know they already have 4 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, but I would've thought they could put more effort into it. Especially as this is there 1st grandson and we are in the same city as them (the others live in nsw and sa). They cry poor, but don't seem to have problems scrapping money together so MIL can go overseas or doing things around their house..GRRR... sorry about that rant... better now.
Well better go start to get ready.
Hope everyone has a nice day and enjoying the time with their family. DH is back at work on Monday, but it's been nice having a few days together (he is catching up on now).
