Happy Birthday To Me

Today I am One Year Old!! I got lots of cards and lots of presents. Thank you everybody. I love them all. Birthdays are very exciting things. For starters nobody went to work and I'm sure it's not the weekend. You get to have balloons.


Your Daddy bakes you a cake. He's not very good at doing the icing yet but he has plenty of years to practice before I really care about those things.
He also taught me how to blow out the candles. We practiced on this candle and then Mammy helped me to blow out the candle on the cake - only every time we blew it out, it seemed to light up again so I guess we need a bit more practice too.


We played with the balloons for a while too although I burst a few with my nice sharp nails. I wonder when Mammy will tackle the big job of cutting my nails again. Did you know that balloons can have a really weird effect on your hair? Just look at this...

And that was all just before lunch. After lunch got even more exciting!
