Today was Oliver's birthday and his party. It was a success (or it seemed to be!). No tears from any babies or children, I don't think anyone left hungry and Oliver was spoiled beyond belief.
This year has flown by and I just don't know where it went.
Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate and to all those who sent birthday wishes when they couldn't be here. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.
My darling child, I can't believe it's been a year. Today was just as much about celebrating you and all you've accomplished this year as it was celebrating the fact that this family has survived this last year. Sleepless nights, piles and piles of laundry, teething, bumps and bruises, food thrown everyone, not to mention all the joys of pregnancy and labour.
We've seen you learn to roll over, watched you figure out how to commando crawl, marvelled at how you can pull yourself up and we've stared, facinated, as you started to use cutlery properly (almost).
It's been a year full of ups and downs but I wouldn't change it for a thing.
You are an amazing little boy. I can't wait to see you learn even more and do even more... but I don't want you to get any bigger either. I want to capture these moments and hold onto them forever. I love you more than I thought possible.
