Hi!

Wow what a weekend. We had Louis' party yesterday which was just gorgeous! We had it at the park and the weather was just perfect. Louis only had 20min sleep in the morning though which I was a bit worried about but I think he knew something was going on and wouldn't go down..cheeky boy! He did really really well though and got heaps of cool pressies! He was so excited he wouldn't really eat and had hardly any water which wasn't good. He fell asleep on the way home and slept for a couple of hours but woke up so miserable. Poor little munchkin. It wouldn't have surprised me if he had a headache...He ate 3 veggie sausages and a vegemite s/which and then had about 200ml of water and then after a bath some milk. I don't know where it all went but I'm glad he had it.
Today we went and got some photos taken at Myer. They look gorgeous! and then we gave him all his b'day pressies today because I want him to be able to play with them tomorrow. I can't believe the toy that he likes the best so far is the $10 blow up pool filled with balls! hehehe. So typical. Our lounge room looks like a toy shop! Dh wasn't impressed with all the toys he has. I think I got a bit carried away and by the time everyone else has bought stuff. We're still waiting on his sandpit from his pa as well. At least that goes outside! hehehe.
I can't believe he's a year old tomorrow! It's just crazy. This time last year I had been induced and was just waiting for it all too happen. The pain didn't really kick in for me until 12.30am when they broke my waters....then after hours of agony my precious boy arrived at 8.30am hehehe. Gosh, and now I'm going to do it all over again! hehehe. How lucky are we all to have healthy little bubbas that are now toddlers!!!!! I swear Louis is the best thing to have happened in my life and I was saying to dh today that I'm so happy with our little family. We may not have a lot but we've got all the important stuff iykwim!!
Sorry for the rant. It's been a bit of a time of reflection for me....I suppose I'm proud that dh and I have got through this first year as well and we have a contented happy little boy now (who sleeps! hehe) Anyway, rant over!

Nikki - Ooh sorry to hear that....

Melissa - Poor Benjamin! Louis is booked in next Monday...I thought I'd wait until after his b'day. He reacted really badly to the 6m ones so I need to be able to spend a day with him to recover if he reacts again. I hope he's starting to feel better!

I hope you all had a great weekend! It's very quiet in here...
