VERY impressed

Hi

There's nothing but doom and gloom on TV... travel chaos, snow madness and backed-up deliveries....

BUT it aint all bad!  I did a BHS order for all of the gifts for my nieces on Friday and it all arrived today.

I am so happy... as much as I watch the news I hadn't heard about the delivery problems (on Friday morning... have since!)... so when I placed the order hubby was like "are you mad"... it won't arrive before Xmas....

Well either I have a courier angel or he was wrong :-)

I am not a typical online shopper so what brought me to get all my nieces gifts there?  Well it's a cute story and as with most things nowadays, revolves around my son, my wee 6 month old.

I blogged the other day to rave about the rattle socks that Rhona gave Aaron for Xmas.  He gets so much joy out of them.... so knowing that going down Oxford Street with a 6 month old would be suicide at this time of year, I went online....

And oh dear I found out there were 4 types and ended up buying them all.... why? because he LOVES them and because I haven't a clue what to get him for Xmas.

So here is the picture I have just taken of all 4 types - like a pack of cards I now have the full "deck" :-)

BHS rattle socks

So the hippo on the far right we already had, so I bought those in a bigger size for my niece, hence the label size above.  Forgive the photo, but I took it myself (and those below).  I always enjoy reading blogs with original and not stock photos.

They are £5 each but Aaron just loves kicking his feet and hearing them, and I get joy out of seeing
him happy.

A baby's gift does not need to be expensive to be fun... after all we all know that babies love playing with the packaging.

Oh and this is just 2 of the things I got for the girls:

Pillow PJ case (huge and lush quality)

weekend bag (she goes to Kent alot)

Busy weekend - cheap baby Xmas gift - and 6 months today

Hi

Haven't blogged much this weekend as my Mum was over from Ireland Thursday through Tuesday.

She looked after Aaron when I went to my work Xmas party on Friday night.

This was Aaron Friday afternoon when I went to the hairdressers:

Mum resorted to pushing him up and down in the pushchair to get him to sleep as she could not do the 2 things I do.  (1) put him to sleep in the wrap (sling) or (2) put him to sleep by breastfeeding him.

Thought it was a good idea and to make it snuggly I wrapped him in the Suse's Kinder Wrap (that I have previously blogged about).

We spent the whole of Saturday at Sandra's house.  This was me in my Lindam Door Bouncer at Sandra's:

While we were at Sandra's Aaron got Xmas presents from Rhona and Sandra.

The socks from Rhona were a HUGE hit - they rattle! So Aaron now kicks and kicks and kicks and gets rewarded with sound - he LOVES them.

See pic below (I would say they are the best cheap baby Xmas gift ever... they are from BHS and he is getting so so so much enjoyment from them):

On the label it says "bambini 1 pair rattle socks"... click on:

Socks that RATTLE from BHS

We are tentatively doing the baby led weaning, and below is a picture of Aaron with his first solid - a carrot!

We have a bedside cot, and Mummy wanted to take a photo of the view she has of me.  Below is a picture of how she sees me through the bars:

Tomorrow I will post pictures of our Xmas decorations.
By the way, Aaron's 6 months today.
