I hear ya Bel on being a bit sad about the first birthday coming up. I read somewhere that some mums get the "blues" around the first birthday as the realisation starts to set in that they are no longer a little baby totally dependant on you, but moving rapidly into being an independant toddler (if they aren't already!). So sad, but good all the same.

Talking of bubs doing funny things (and the stories so far have been soooooo cute), Pup gets on our floorboards or cork tiles and when he gets really excited, he spins around on his belly doing 360's. So funny. And he has this really riduculous laugh - always has and probably always will. It sounds like....um...(trying to think of a way to describe it.....)..he makes the most noise of his laugh on his intake of breath rather than the outflow of breath. So it is like a noisy wheeze. Hard to describe but very easy to imitate. Bloody funny though.

I'm a bit stuck for ideas of a theme for a first birthday. Any suggestions? Doesn't have to been a known character (like Pooh or Wiggles - could be generic like circus or zoo), but something that I can gather stuff easily together to make a theme. Like to do invites, decorations and also able to get scrapbooking stuff to record it all. I just dunno, but definately not farm related.
