Day 211 - Arrrrr!

This is Henry's birthday cake and I am pleased to say that it was much prettier than the cake he had at daycare yesterday! Yesterday's cake was hilarious and very ugly (chocolate with fluro yellow icing!) but I was very proud of my pirate cake! We chose a pirate because of how much Henry loves putting on his pirate hat for a laugh, although it didn't come out today! Henry was a bit bamboozled by the whole birthday party thing (especially when he heard his name in Happy Birthday) but I look forward to making him many more creative birthday cakes!

Day 210 - Henry's First Birthday

Well finally, Henry reached the major milestone of turning one! This morning he woke up screaming (kind of the opposite of when he was born) but after he got out of bed, cheered up considerably. After an afternoon tea with us and the other babies at daycare (where they all sat eating his birthday cake in pointy hats that made them look like a row of garden gnomes) he also enjoyed his first ever present opening when we got home in the afternoon and also Jenna and his Nanna and Opa also arriving. Now onto tomorrow when he can open the rest of his presents (too slow to get them all done by bed time) and enjoy afternoon tea with a little party. Happy Birthday to our little man!

Day 208 - Not Long Now

This is Henry's birthday present for Friday :) and I think he will just think he is the bee's knees as he cruises around in this...

Day 190 - First for Many

I cannot believe that Henry will be one at the end of the month, but it feels a little more real after today. My mothers' group got together today to have a big birthday party for all the babies who are about to turn one (in fact some already have). Every time I see everyone it is amazing to see how the babies have changed and it was lots of fun to see them play together today. I made the birthday cakes above and it was lovely for Henry to have his own little cupcake with a candle. I blew it out quickly as he looked a little too interested! Happy Birthday to all the bubs :-)
