I have just had my birthday!!! Before the day arrived I didn't know what a birthday was and wasn't sure what the fuss was about, but now I reckon should have birthdays more often! After breakfast mummy and daddy took me to a huge pile of presents which were all for me! Thank you Mummy and Daddy, Mormor and Morfar, Grandma and Poppa, Uncle Barney, Aunty Sue and Jasper, Aunty Katti, Uncle Matthieu and Alexandra, Charlotte and Ellinor, Emma, Magnus and Elvin, Uncle Murray Aunty Steph, Hannah and Hosea for all the parcels. I had great fun climbing over them and then mummy and daddy showed me it gets better - I could open them and there were things inside!! Of course, I had to play with each toy and read each book before moving on and I'm not very good at removing sellotape (mummy and daddy helped with this), so at nap time I hadn't finished opening - all good as I carried on after lunch... and after my afternoon nap! I feel very spoiled. I decided that as everyone had been so kind I would thank you all by showing off a couple of new skills - standing without holding on to anything and taking my first three steps... as I said, aren't birthdays great!
Here are some pictures from the day...
Love Oliver
Playing with my new truck
I bang here... right
I'm getting the hang of unwrapping parcels
Reading my new book
Daddy and I
I can get anywhere under my own steam now
Unwrapping presents...
Putting my cards up
Climbing over my presents
My new Bible
I didn't know giraffes bounce
Can't you see I'm busy?
Aren't balloons fun to play with?...
Sharing toys...
Enjoying being the centre of attention...
I had lots of people to read me stories...
Mummy explaining the cake thing to me...
