Third Birthday...

Well where did all the time go?? Three already!! He anticipated his birthday this year and in the end we had to do a countdown to it as he got quite frustrated when he couldn't work out why it was taking so long to come round. When he came down and saw his presents he said and I quote "Oh wow, thank you! I am completely happy" - I nearly cried. He had a lovely day and got lots of small things mostly to do with sport it has to be said as he's still sport mad. Anything with a ball involved and he's in his element.

Birthday cuddle!!

Birthday cake!! No guys I didn't make this one, courtesy of ASDA as Ethan doesn't actually like cake very much. However, you notice it's a ball - well what else would I buy him lol??

He took this one himself, not bad but rather a cheesy grin methinks!!!

His favourite present, his crazy golf set. Now why isn't that a big surprise??

Second Birthday.....

Now for whatever reason most of the photo's I took of Ethan's 2nd birthday were out of focus or he was asleep in them. However we have a few just to get a flavour - all surrounding playing with balloons - well what else are you supposed to do on your birthday??

Here he is in mid thwack of a green balloon - see it, top left-hand corner....

Er no mum, I think this is MY blue balloon.................

Has anyone seen my yellow balloon????? It's behind you!!!

First birthday...

At the end of a long day of 'partying' we're having a cuddle and wrecking the decorations...

Just demolished a piece of birthday cake judging by the slightly grubby mouth!

The new birthday car/ride-on/rocker. An instant hit and still is two years on actually.

What's in the box - let me at it!!

Birthday......

Here he is alseep up on the ward - my word it was so hot in there, not a breath of air.

08.08.05 - 15.14hrs, 7lb 10oz. Just a few minutes old - first proper cuddle and a chance to get a long look at this little miracle I'd waited so long for.

I think this was my due date and, as you can see, still looking like I ate all the pies. Ethan quite liked it in there and stayed put for another ten days until a rather lovely Consultant took pity on a large, sobbing, eldery pregnant lady and made a managerial decision to evict him.
