Life and Soul of the Party

Christopher attended his first birthday party on Saturday and was the very life and soul of the party, the complete center of attention. Ok, that was until he passed out, um, fell asleep. He is taking after his Aunty Alex and had a 'little sleep' in the middle of a party.

Unfortunately he wasn't able to eat the yummy sweets in his pack, but Jenny made the sacrifice and ate them so that he could experience them second hand. The sacrifices she makes just brings a tear to my eye!


He is also starting to enjoy spending a lot more time in his play gym and I think the that all the soccer (no, it is not football!) is having a positive effect on him. He is really starting to take an interest in soccer, you can see in the picture on the left that he has almost mastered the bicycle kick. He mastered dribbling a long time ago so his soccer skills are growing rapidly.

We can also see that he is growing as he is now into the next size of nappies, if only just. Which is just as well, he has explosive episodes. Nothing for a couple of days, all quiet on the western front and then suddenly the artillery lets rip with a wet farting sound and you just know that it is BAD. Not the kind of thing that you can handle on your own, it is two person, four hands, half a role of toilet paper and 16 wet wipes operation. All the while he sits there gurgling and cooing to himself, well pleased and very proud of his achievement. If I wasn't so scared of them I would keep some of those nappies for a couple of years and when he brings home his first girlfriend see how proud he is of them then!
