Wow. Can you believe it?! Yesterday my babies turned one. One whole year!
Yesterday I wrote a letter to them and today I have been sitting down and taking stock. Forgive me while I bore you with pictures….
From their first day to their most recent they’ve been with me every day. I think the longest time I’ve spent apart from them was the day I spent at the Self Publishing Conference back in April. A hard day, that’s for sure, no matter how informative it was.
They have progressed and grown from strength to strength with startling speed:
Sitting up, rolling, crawling, cruising and finally walking.
Not to mention meal times, which are an absolute (messy) joy!
I used to measure pleasure and pride by my latest piece of writing. These days I measure it by Michael’s latest attempts to say ‘duck’ or Leon’s last successful navigation of the stairs.
After a year I’ve learned:
-bum sniffing is a perfectly normal way to assess a nappy
-that I’m stronger than I look
-so are babies!
-bath water actually tastes ok
-everything is edible if you try hard enough
-boogies are made to be picked
You may think this is all a bit nuts -and I promise a return to our usual programming after this – but honestly, these are important facts. 🙂
So… One year old, my boys are strong and well. What else is in store? I’ll be sure to keep you posted.
So cute! Great post, Ileandra!

Some things never change — the boxes are more fun than the stuff that was in them!

Yep! They just climbed in and out of it again and again for about half an hour! Adorable and slightly mad.
