Simon and Kelly’s Baby Blog

Ben was weighed last Tuesday, his weight was 17lb 7 oz.  He was actually a bit underweight and below his centile line.  We were told it was nothing too much to worry about but we were to feed him up!  So we have now increased his solid meals in quantity, he has 2 a day now as well as his milk.  Another week or so and he can pretty much eat anything that we do.

Ben’s height is also a little under the centile line, but this is quite common as he is growing and developing in other ways and he will catch with his next growth spurt!

Ben can now roll right over from his back onto his front and back again, he even does it in his sleep now and tends to sleep on his tummy!

Here is Ben in his Everton clothes that he had from Santa at Christmas.

Ben was weighed again last Friday and he is now 16 lb 15 1/2 oz, so he is getting bigger all the time!

Also last Friday, we decided to go up to Dartmoor and seek out any remains of the snow that was around from the previous week.  We were amazed that there was so much left, especially at Postbridge, which is a fare way into the Moor.  We had a walk around in it as this was the first time Ben has been out in any snow.  It was having a good look around and found it all very interesting.

Here are some photographs that were taken.

Last Friday we took Ben to the beach for the first time. It was very nice, not too cold, and we went for a walk along the beach and along the cliffs.

Here are some pictures that we took whilst we were there.
