So this is a little late, but we went on holiday straight after BB's birthday and I didn't have time to post before we went.
BB is now 1 year old! I find it incredible that he is one. It's a full year since
this!
Although the year seems to have gone very fast, it also feels like BB has been with us forever. I also find it hard to remember what he was like when he was new. So, with that in mind here are some pictures from his first year.

I think the most beautiful thing is seeing his personality start to reveal itself. He is a very happy little boy. He likes to make people laugh, he seems to be confident and adventurous. Although he isn't walking yet he's a fantastic climber. He has a great appetite and eats a wide variety of foods, although fruit is his first love. Whatever he eats you can guarantee it will make a mess!
We decided that the birthday tradition shall include a cake,
Birthday Bunting and a gathering of some kind. After much searching I managed to find some nice, quality bunting that should last us for years
I made him a monkey cake (a chocolate sponge covered in chocolate butter icing and then ivory fondant icing was used for the face). His chin looks like he has acne - that's because I didn't keep aside enough icing sugar for rolling out the fondant icing (note to self for the future!).

Monkey cake |
Close family joined us in our garden for the afternoon to celebrate his special day.
Here is the cheeky chappy having devoured his piece of cake - well some of it, the rest was used for a facial!

His vital statistics at one year are:
Height 75cm (50th percentile)
Weight 11.05Kg (between 75th and 91st percentile)
Head Circ. 47cm (75th percentile)
Happy Birthday Blissful Boy!
Happy Birthday BB! Amazing how much they change in a year...
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the progression of BB from birth to a year. Now hang on tight, b/c the fun is about to begin!
