Our little boy is growing up

You are now 13 months old, what you are able to do surprises us on a daily basis. You place your head on the floor and stick your bum in the air waiting for us to help you do a roly poly! You have become ever so shy with new people and hiding behind your father and I. You have started running when you have the chance and my god do you run! You don't particularly think about stopping either!

Every friday now you go to your Anti Heidi's and Uncle Adam's for the whole day as i'm at work for the whole day and your dad is in uni. When we arrive to their house you do a little noise of glee and cant seem to wait to get in there to ply with Moli and Caio. They seem happy to see you too, lots of screaming laughing and running. You yell after Del the dog. I'm glad that it has turned out this way as its not so bad then having to leave you to go to work.

We still go to all the groups we were going to before i went back to work, mainly as my shifts have fitted around all of them, and Heidi takes you to the library on fridays as well so all in all you lead a very busy life.

You know your mind a lot more lately, you will bring us anything you want or need opening. You are into everything and make so much mess its unbelievable.

The waterbabies swim lessons were going to have stopped for two weeks but we have decided to keep going and will join in the next semester, as well as that we have decided that your underwater picture wont be until the end of the next seven weeks.

B'day party #2

As we live a bit of a trek away from a lot of the family we decided to have a second small party for you at Nain and Taid's the Sunday, a week after your first. It would have two of my cousins and their kids and another of my cousins.
Again I made a cake for this one, I made one I had seen recently on facebook and thought it would be a fun one to make. 

The recipe was 


A 20cm sponge cake
2 x 200 g milk chocolate bars
250ml of cream
Filling of choice for your pie. Layer of jam/ tinned cherries or such, and a layer of crème patisserie , cream or butter icing
3 x five packet kitkats
1 packet of light pink marzipan. ( I'm thinking you'll have to use almond paste and food colouring for this or maybe get creative with some pink marshmallows? )
Big knife
Tooth pick or skewer
Ribbon

It definitely needed improving but not bad for my first go. And i must admit it tasted good, and not as sickly as I expected!

You had a good time and all the kids went to play outside later, and played with the pet lambs!
