who's that there...

In joint celebration of mother's day and your first birthday tomorrow we took you for your first trip to the zoo. You now 'roof roof' as your means of communicating with all non humans. And there were some pretty funny looking dogs at the zoo today. Certainly a much more relaxing way to spend the day than the 22 hours of labour that was my first mother's day... a year ago today.

MK: "You're nearly one - you can try your first bit of cake" HK:"Humm cupcake you say?"

HK: "YAH CUPCAKES ROCK!" MK: "Humm this must be why they say not to give babies sugar"

We posted the invites for your birthday party today little HK. A whole year has nearly gone. A great year - a tough year all in one. If a fairy asked me if I wanted to live it all again? Sure would my little bundle of fun.

Best holiday ever. Still suffering a serious case of the "don't wanna go home"'s. Despite copious sun protection you even scored a slight baby tan. So cute. Back to reality now though.
