Happy Birthday CC!

I can't believe that a year has passed since CC made his entry into the world. I also can't believe that we spent the day celebrating it at the beach. Yes - on the beach....in Scotland....in March and it was glorious!

Talking of birthdays - Remind me to tell you about how BFS spoiled me rotten with a weekend in Edinburgh and a day at Nick Nairns cook school...

Now is the time where I'd normally get sentimental, but I'm in bed and very sleepy so I'll save the reflection on the last year for another day!

Happy birthday wee man. We love you loads xxx

Last night feed

Well we all grew a little bit older today. Today is my birthday and it was lovely. A day surrounded by my family with nothing but reminders of how lucky I am. I also made the decision tonight that just over a week before he turned one that CC would get his last feed from me. I haven't yet said anything to anyone except him, but I think tomorrow I'll let BFS have the honours and have him put his son to bed. He's not yet walking and therefore by default still seems to be my 'baby' but it won't be long and I see tonight as the first step of accepting that my little one is soon to embark upon the next stage and will have to realise that he is not that far from becoming a toddler much as I am desperately clinging onto him as my baby and am slightly in denial of this!

He gets his brains from his daddy!

'Why would the snow make them wet?'

BB's reply:

'Because it's white rain...!'

I rest my case

Pulling himself up...

CC impressed his Great Grandma when we were visiting for her 85th birthday by pulling himself up onto his feet using her sofa. He impressed his mummy too as (apart from on a one off occasion) this was his first time doing do.

Now he just has to start realising what his feet are for......

Now he really is...

Whereas in the last post CC had found his way on to his knees, I'd say that yesterday was the day when he decided that crawling was a better option than commando-ing! He has no interest whatsoever of getting onto his feet - but does like to pull himself up onto his knees!

The boys all had fun at a 'zoo party' today at their little friends house. BB even touched a bearded dragon!

He's up on his knees....

DIY Studio

BFS made a specific request for some pics 'of his boys' so last weekend I threw together a makeshift studio (roll of fabric bulldog clipped onto a table on a table!) and let the boys loose.....
