year gone by

Al is one year and one day today - and we had a completely lovely time having morning tea with many of the important people in his/our lives yesterday morning. It was a comfy and low key morning with just a small number of kids and close and dear friends.

We managed to negoiate an egg, wheat, nut, preservative and colour free birthday party which included cake!

At one the boy can:

clap (literally as of yesterday)
indicate yes (eye and face upwards) and no (chin to chest no eye contact)
cruise the furniture but not yet push a trolley
play peek a boo and knows to crawl as fast as he can when he is chased
