Goodbye 2014!!

I will be sad to see 2014 come to an end, it has been an amazing year and feels like it came and went at a super speed! We welcomed into this world our gorgeous little bear in February and our lives as mummy & daddy began. A big year of firsts for everyone…..mine and bear’s first ever nights stay in hospital (not even the day he was born and not an event I wish to repeat any time soon….we missed daddy far too much!), first mothers day, first fathers day. Bear’s christening and celebrating the first time he smiled, rolled, crawled, stood up all by himself, his first word (MUM!), closely followed by his joint 2nd words (DAD, NAN!) It truly is amazing how this time last year he was still kicking me inside my tummy and right now he is sat feeding himself his jam sandwich and skips!

Bear’s first Christmas was truly magical, he was spoilt rotten! So many new clothes and toys to play with. He ate until he could eat no more and saw all of his grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins all in one day!! It doesn’t appear that he received a favourite toy, he plays with them all, all at the same time, all over the living room floor…but he does so with a massive smile on his face!

For mummy and daddy this year has been trial and error, we were learning as we went, we still are. But, we wouldn’t change bear for anything! We look forward to the new year to see what other exciting new things he will learn to do (and hopefully, finally see some teeth) starting the new year with a trip to the dietitian to start discussing challenging his allergies! Hopefully by the end of 2015 he will be able to tolerate some (if not all) dairy and soya, he will be walking and talking and causing chaos in a way only bear could!

We hope you all had a great Christmas and have a happy new year! Thank you for viewing our blog over 900 times in 2014 and look forward to sharing more bear related stories throughout 2015!!
