It was Tom’s first birthday today. One whole year of having him in our lives. In some ways, it’s gone really quickly. For example, it seems amazing to think he spent his whole first six months in a cot at the end of the bed. That went by in a blink of an eye, so much so I can barely remember it now.
But because there have been so many changes over the past twelve months, the year also seems to have lasted a lifetime. Which, I suppose, for Tom it has.
He got some nice presents, my mum and dad were particularly generous with a set of Brio building blocks and a Brio “Walk-On” trolley to cart them about with. It’s all very well made and has a bit of a “designer baby” feel.
Tom showed his appreciation by performing his first ever “non-human-assisted” walk. He even managed a bit of freestyle standing at the end!
Yay! Happy birthday to Tom!
Indeed. Nice job Tom. My lad used to lean on one of those things, and completely arse end it.
He hasn’t managed much more than that distance yet, and I think he’ll arse-end it sooner or later!
