Eventually the kid demanded to be fed from the other room. Now that we are encouraging Callum to self-feed, the messes created at meal times are increasing astronomically. We have given up on regular bibs to keep him clean and moved on to full body smocks. Luckily his Nandi gave him one a while back.
Pretty quickly after breakfast we moved on to the highest priority of the day and that of course was opening presents.
Last year, Callum was a day shy of being 1 month old on Christmas Day, so it would be a stretch to say he was truly engaged in the events of the day. But this year he has been much more interested in what has been going on. In particular he was very much into the opening of presents. He had a lot of practice just a month ago for his birthday, so he was basically an expert today.
Jen received some presents too. Including her now traditional new set of pajamas (notice she is wearing the black set of pajamas she got last Christmas).
I also received a couple of presents.
And here we are getting ready to eat Christmas lunch.
During lunch we discovered that Callum has a spectactular phobia of Christmas crackers (or poppers or bon-bons depending on where you are from).

However, we also discovered that he is mad for Brocolli. Here is the aftermath of him sharing our Brocolli side dish that we had for lunch.
Later in the day we couldn't help but bust out the Santa suit again.
We bought Callum a Santa suit last year as most goggle eyed new parents would. We passed that suit along to Alison this year (perhaps this is the start of yet another tradition). Jen was semi-keen to get another suit this year, and I was attempting to be the voice of reason and discourage it. But at Babies R Us last weekend, Jen found a Santa suit on the clearance rack for $5, which sounded like a good deal that I couldn't deny. But when we got to the cash register, they took another 50% off of the price, so we got the suit for $2.50, so there really was no way to justify not buying it at that point.
We hope everyone else had an equally enjoyable day.
