Your birthday party...

Following on from a very long morning opening your presents, some of your family came round for a buffet to celebrate you turning 1!

Happy birthday baby boy, I hope you enjoyed your special day.

Afternoon with Marcus...

Today we met up with Becca and Marcus and started off in John Lewis and on the way home ended up at Woodford Garden Centre for a cake!

Marcus likes to look after you :)

Christening Day...

On a very warm Sunday afternoon you were christened at St Michael's and All Angel's church in Macclesfield (where I was also done many moons ago).

We had such a lovely time and lots of your family came great distances to see you! Afterwards we went back to my mum's for a buffet and lots of cake. You were spoilt (like usual) and were incredibly well behaved considering all the handing around.

On the train...

A couple of weeks back we went on the train to Manchester. It was just a shopping trip really but we met up with your Dad at Starbucks for lunch.

First Rusk...

I tried you with your first Farley's Rusk...

...and even though a bit when down the wrong hole and made you cough, you seemed to enjoy it. However I then got too paranoid and took it off you before you had chance to finish it!

Truck stop...

A few weekends ago we stopped off at your first 'Truck Stop' for a cup of tea and a bacon butty.

First Mother's Day...

Our first Mother's day was today and we had a lovely time. I was spoilt by you and your father - I received a card from each of you, a gorgeous spotty tea pot, a purse, a 'Special Mummy' bracelet and tulips and daffodils which are my favourite!

Unfortunately Daddy was under the weather today so he couldn't join us at Gran's which was a shame as uncle Phil and I really outdid ourselves!

Phil was in charge of decorations and went a little mad with the bunting and I was in charge of the food.

The theme was an indoor picnic with a ploughman's for lunch with a choice of chocolate cheesecake, scones, vanilla slices or Gran's Victoria sponge for dessert!

After we had eaten, Phil was playing with you blowing some bubbles Mary & Patrick brought and you were trying to catch them - I didn't take any photos of it, but have it on video to show you.
