Our fourth Christmas gathering was on Christmas Day. We
spent the day at Auntie Becca’s new flat in Southampton. She and honorary Uncle
RJ cooked a lovely roast and made lots of delicious sweet things. Here’s Auntie
Becca’s amazing gingerbread house:
I felt a bit bad eating it! RJ also made some mince pies, which I don’t normally like, but his
ones were really tasty.
Amelia was pleased to see Seaside Grandma too, who she
hasn’t seen since she was two weeks old:
Amelia still fights sleep during the day, and so by the afternoon is usually quite grouchy. She’s sometimes happy to sleep in my dressing gown on the sofa though, which means that some days I get 15 minutes to do some housework. Hooray! Here are some photos of her all wrapped up:
and Mark trying to get her to sleep:
Amelia still doesn’t realise that her hands are hers and
she’ll only grab your hand if you hold it out to her, but today she held a toy
for the first time! Unfortunately, it happened to be a very phallic toy, and
she wouldn’t let go:
We’ve said we’ll keep those photos to embarrass her with at
her 16th birthday party!
With her new found clasp technique, Amelia also tried to
open her own presents:
We had a lovely day and were all very spoiled with food and
presents.
Merry Christmas everyone!
That gingerbread house looks great!!
