Freddie's first Holiday!


Hello,

We have just got back from a fabulous fun filled week at Center Parcs! It's winter wonderland time so we have loved every 'Christmassy' minute of it!

Here is Freddie enjoying his first swim.....


He wasn't sure at first but after a few minutes he relaxed and seemed to enjoy the feeling of the water and took in the surroundings of the dome!

We stayed in one of the big woodland lodges with all of the Dear's including cousin Zachary...


Happy boys enjoying their holiday!











Freddie knew he was on holiday and decided he was not going to bed without a fight in the evenings! He struggled more than usual with his wind and griping for the first day or two so his Dad and Grandpops went on a mission to find the closest shop that sold 'colief' drops and I have to say the difference when he started on those was massive. He isn't pulling his legs up very much anymore now and settles after his bottles much easier. Happier boy in general.



Its not a secret that we like Christmas in the Sawyer household...

Freddie looks like santa's grumpy little helper with his eyes shut and arms crossed!









Freddie also had his first trip to see Santa with his big brother and got a present.

This was taken during Samuel's favourite game of the week; dressing up as Santa and delivering presents to everyone  He's using Freddie's sling as his sack here! How fab is the woodland picture on the wall!

Freddie is coming on leaps and bounds, we can't wait to find out how much he weighs next week as he's looking like a little chunker these days.

 I have to confess to having a little moment at Center Parcs when we were all stood on the beach listening to the choir singing and waiting for the fireworks. I remember not long ago when we didn't know if Freddie would be well enough to be out of hospital never mind be going on holiday and mixed emotions of remembering the bad times and being ridiculously happy having him with us caused a few tears!

Massive thanks to Mamma and Grandpops, Auntie Emma, Uncle Dint and Zachary and of course his Daddy and big brother for making Freddie's first holiday one to remember.
