A year ago today, I was sat in a waiting room on the delivery suite at my local hospital, waiting nervously to begin the process of induction that would bring this beautiful little boy safe into my arms.
Today I'm typing with him snuggled up on my lap and snoring.
We wont have much time tomorrow for Birthday posts, we'll be celebrating at my brothers wedding,but I wanted to take a little moment today just for Ernest.
He's changing into a fun little toddler, adored by the whole family.
He loves to clap his hands when we sing "If you're happy and you know it", and nod his head too...actually he nods his head to any questions, including the random silly questions from his biggest sister, "Ernest, are you a baby vampire?"...lots of nodding!
He loves to let the chickens out every morning with Daddy, and excitedly says "chick chick".
He's a busy baby, always exploring, yesterday I turned my back for a few moments to sort laundry and found him having fun with a tub of bread flour. (I did tell you our kitchen is all in boxes right now didn't I?)
He was so engrossed in play, I didn't have the heart to clean up straight away, and snapped some piccies instead while he played...maybe an indulgence only the youngest of six gets to enjoy.

Happy Birthday Ernest! How fabulous to see him having such fun - my two still love to empty the cake tins cupboard... and how lovely of his uncle to throw a special party for his first birthday. I'm sure he will steal the show.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY beautiful boy. The pictures are fab Jeanette, how cute is he. Oscar is afraid of flour because he choked/inhaled it from a mixing bowl, silly kipper.

ReplyDeleteThe flour pics are so sweet. I think you have them because as a mom of 6, you understand that his happiness and your memories of it are worth having flour all over the the floor. Happy Birthday Ernest!
