Harrison: An awesome new head piece from Grandma, he was in his element playing cowboys and indians each day after school.
Amelie: Digging in to the party food!
Finley: Our big one year old, happy birthday gorgeous boy!A wonderful week full of family, friends, party prep and celebrations!
It was so nice to have my Mum visiting from New Zealand for Finley's first birthday. Amongst the busyness we still found time for a bit of shopping and the kids loved having Mum here to be part of the regular week & her doing the school/pre-school drop offs and pickups, bonus for me to getting to have a wee break from that!
A bit of drama the day before the birthday boy turned one. He found a piece of washi (craft) tape on the ground that had accidentally dropped when we were making some little flags for some of the party food. He choked on it giving us a terrible fright. We hadn't seen what he had picked up so after a visit to the Doctor he sent us straight to the Emergency department at the Children's hospital. After the morning at the hospital and two x-ray's later we were sent home as they couldn't find anything in the x-rays (I've now learnt that plastic doesn't show up in x-rays!). The day after his birthday when changing his nappy we found the culprit, a large triangle of washi tape! Thankfully he was all ok but it sure was terrifying at the time.
On Saturday our baby boy turned one! we can't believe how quickly this year has flown by. He is such a happy, placid little fellow who has a cheeky side to him and makes us laugh so much. Bringing joy to all of our lives we are truly blessed to have him in it.
Present opening was very exciting, especially the paper! A pancake stack for lunch and then the party guests arrived for an afternoon of fun. He had a Very Hungry Caterpillar themed birthday as he loves the book. He loved everyone singing him happy birthday and getting to eat his first piece of cake!
(Photos from the party coming soon!).
you've the happiest 1 year old little boy!
