Curtis Aaron Hughes: Early December catch up (1)

Spot the baby!
Over-stimulated? Too many toys? Whatever happened to Gareths minimalist decor!!?

Stomach bug :-(
All 3 of us got a horrid stomach bug in early December, poor Curtis hardly ate for about 5 days and lost a bit of weight and became very pale and weak. It was not pleasant to see but he bounced back eventually as babies do.

our skinny boy :-(

Having decided to make some xmas cards using an image of Curtis, despite his illness we needed to get a festive shot in time to send to the printer. We got one eventually but as you see he wasn't feeling very energetic or festive. Poor lamb had been sick just a wee while b4 we took these.

Visiting Molly

Gillian and Steph went up to Stirling to visit our pals Lynne, Andy and Molly in their new house. Congratulations on finding a fantastic family home guys. Curtis had a ball playing with Molly and says he wants to go back again soon.

Introducing Curtis's best pals.

Some time ago I put this little orange bear in the kitchen and began a game of asking Curtis to 'find Cecil'. Each night I'd put him in a different location and the next morning b4 breakfast Curtis would search excitedly about the kitchen until with a laugh and smile he would reveal that he'd found him. This game really stuck and not only do we play the same game every morning, but Cecil and Curtis have become very close...Curtis makes sure his pal is well fed and watered and more recently has been giving him enthusiastic cuddles and insisting that I cuddle him too. Cecil even had to come with us to Belfast for xmas and to Troon for the weekend in January.

A couple of weeks after introducing Cecil to Curtis I came home from work to find Gareth smiling to himself and asking me to watch Curtis as he asked him to find Paul Macartney!
