Thanks Nettie. Baxter had a great day. Lots of phone calls, texts and gifts from gorgeous friends. He did attempt to eat a birthday cupcake but wasn't really interested. It was his first taste of junk so I'm pleased he didn't scoff the whole thing. Nope, no chocolate for DS either. He has plenty of time in his life to eat that sort of stuff.
We do a mix of BLS and spoon feed. I guess I do the spoon feed thing to save on mess and time!
Only words are 'Dad', 'Mum' and 'Bub'. That's what he calls himself. Although sometimes he mixes up Mum and Bub....and I get called Bum. Hmm........!
Got a bit teary tonight. I just remember having a newborn on this day last year. I almost wished DH had taped some of the birth. Such a significant life event and I only have patches of memory.
I hope all your babies enjoyed their 1st birthdays! Its hard to believe a year has gone by so fast.
We've had a few immunisation issues in our house this time, although, I've also done a little research and found that Boyo was immunised in a "wonder week" so not only has there been crabbiness from the immunisations, and also had some crabbiness is with that! We went from months of sleeping through, to a couple of weeks (so far) of night waking and screaming and velcroness.
Still, I celebrated my 30th birthday yesterday, and my husband did a wonderful job with my birthday surprise!
Benjamin and I went to Hey Dee Ho music in the morning, then had a nice quiet evening, then Matt came home with a little Swaravski crystal bear holding a birthday pressie for me from Benjamin, and then we hopped in the car for my surprise, which turned out to be then evening at Drallion, the new Cirque Du Soliel production, it was FANTASTIC!
Benjamin was a superstar for my boss while we were gone!
