One year old today!

I can't believe it! Dominic is 1 year year old already! It has definitely been the fastest, busiest, most exhausting, and best year of my life.

Celebrations are a little dampened by the rain (we had been planning for romping around down at the beach today) and going into hospital for his operation tomorrow. He has had three days in a row of birthday parties - although yesterday afternoon was Grace's birthday party not his, he didn't seem to realise that. He now gets all excited any time he sees a cake and people start singing happy birthday.

I should finish packing today but Dom is keen for more fun. It's not hard to guess what I'll end up doing given a choice between chores and playing with the baby...

What birthday fun can we get up to on a rainy day I wonder?


When there's a party at the end of it, even car rides are fun!


Ice cream birthday cake! So delicious he had to try to grab it straight away.
