At last, at 12 months, 2 weeks and 1 day old, Ben cut his first tooth. Thursday 15th October, 2009, Auntie Alex’s 15th Birthday. Hoorah!!! We have been waiting for so long, especially as we were told Ben was teething at just under 6 weeks old! We are so relieved and hoping that the rest come through quickly and with relative ease, then maybe he will be more settled at night time. How exciting! Looking forward to seeing him with a toothy smile 🙂
On the Saturday following his birthday, we held a bit of a party at our house with lots of relatives over for the afternoon. They all brought cards and presents for Ben, which he enjoyed opening and playing with!
THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT CAME AND GAVE BEN A CARD AND/OR PRESENT, IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED!
Here are a few pics from the day……
The end of last week Ben had his one year jabs. It was a bit touch and go whether he was going to have them or not as he had had his very first cold at the beginning of the week (there was snot everywhere!!! 😉 ). But he recovered enough to have them and ended up with three jabs, two in one leg and one in the other. He was apparently ok with the first jab but then obviously knew what was coming so cried for the next two, but it was over and done with quickly and he doesn’t have to have any more until he starts school in a few years.

It was Ben’s 1st birthday on 1st October 2009. Neither myself or Kelly can believe it has been a whole year since he was born! The time has flown by and the difference in Ben from when he was born up to now is crazy. He has grown so much and is very clever.
We took him to JUMP! during the morning (I had the day off work) after he had opened his presents and cards, which he enjoyed. The rest of the day he played with his new toys and was so excited by it all he wouldn’t go to sleep properly in the afternoon. Luckily, he was so tired in the evening that he went to bed with no problems (for a change!) and slept quite well during the night. All in all, we think Ben had a very good and happy 1st birthday, and so did we!
