It seems only a few weeks ago he was a little baby, unable to move around on his own, unable to eat solid food and unable to talk\/babble. Crazy!<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Ben was ill throughout the festive season this year with a bad cold, then sickness and then a bad cough. The initial cold started before Christmas and we thought it had passed until a couple of days before Christmas when he started to cough and have a sickness bug.\u00a0 It was a real shame as on Christmas Day he was particularly bad. He didn&#8217;t eat hardly at all, although he did have a few mouthfuls of Roast Turkey!<\/p>\n<p>When he first got up in the morning he was quite excited with opening his presents that were in his stocking, so he opened a few of those on his own and played with what he had got.\u00a0 We then dressed him up and opened the rest up downstairs, which is when he started to get tired again. We managed to open a few main presents before he went for a nap, but when he came down he was promptly sick all over me, so we both had to be cleaned off before we could carry on.\u00a0 He was still a little excited about his presents, but you could tell he wasn&#8217;t feeling very well. He did play with every present he opened though, and seemed happy enough with them! So thank you to everyone that gave him a present this year!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few pics from Christmas Day&#8230;..<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
