Clement is 1!

My darling little Clement had his first birthday yesterday (the 11th)! :-) In some ways, he seems so big that you'd have thought he was 1 long ago - yet in other ways, the year has just flown by. It has been a lovely year though, as Clement is such a delightful little boy, always happy and smiling.

So here are some photos from Saturday, when he had his cake and presents!

Presents and balloons - the balloons being Clement's favourite. As in, he couldn't really be bothered to open any presents. Though he did enjoy playing with his new toys later in the day. And there was a wee pressie for Abigail and Benjamin too - with their names written clearly on them, to prevent Benjamin opening all the ones that belonged to his brother! lol

Looking at the rocking chair full of presents and balloons!

I like balloons! :-)

This looks fun - though perhaps the road sign was more exciting than Scoop at first!

A rubbish lorry! ... which Benjamin wishes was his - though maybe he thinks all of Clement's toys should be!

A lovely blue teddy from Auntie Sarah!

He loves small animals - especially anything in the cat family, which he thinks should all meow!

Looking very grown up - in my opinion, anyway! :-)

Enjoying his toys - a couple hours after the excitement of balloons worn off!

and again

My rather lame attempt at making a duck cake! Every time I make another cake, I think how nice it would be if I learned to do it properly! Oh well - maybe when I'm a granny someday I'll have time for some classes! LOL At least the cake was very yummy, even if the decorating was poor!

Climbing out of his highchair so he could grab the flame on the candle!! Rather shaky photo as I was reaching out to stop him from burning himself!

Going for the candle again!

Holding the candle at last, which Benjamin was trying to get!

Yummm - a piece of cake!

Which Clement really enjoyed too

Monday morning (today), Benjamin and Abigail enjoying the sunshine with their Auntie Sarah! Sarah and Josh arrived on Friday last week and are here until next week (Wednesday). It's lovely to have them here and the children are really enjoying the company!

And not exactly recent, but Benjamin on the 1st of April, with some chocolate cakes that he and mummy made!

So that's all for now! I always think of plenty of things to say, but don't have the time today! So this is a mainly photo post!
