Lucy is one!

Today my gorgeous baby girl is one! Where did the time go? i cant believe how quickly this year has gone by. My little pickle is becoming more independant by they day and letting everyone know what she wants. She is on the brink of walking and her first tooth is poking through too. Soon she will have children of her own and i will still be saying 'where did the time go?' these are the things that make being a mother the best job in the world.

We celebrated the day at home with family in the afternoon and playing together in the morning. The weather has been amazing so we haven't left the garden really.
Here are a few photos.

Birthday crown girl!

Emily playing with the Myriad rainbow set. Great tunnel for the train!

Birthday tea in the garden.

She kept her Birthday crown on for ages, i think she just forgot it was there as she is not really a hat person!

Ian's Grandad (91!) and his friend Norah enjoying watching his Great grand Daughters!

Birthday cake number 2 as i did the one below for a lovel get togehter with my mother and baby friends yesterday. Edible glitter if amazing!

As for presents i tried to stick to wooden toys, second hand if possible, books or clothes. We didnt go mad as she alread has so much , the lucky devil. I also brought down from the loft Emily's old push along trolley with bricks in which the both had so much fun with this morning.

NCT SALE! Emily loves this too!

My favourite, Myriad rainbow made from a solid piece of Alder wood. Great for stacking, tunnels, boats and much much more. As well as beautiful to look at!

We love these books and this is the latest one. Lucy loves to touch all of the different pages.

A herd of elephants from NCT sale - 50p!!

A selection of in the night garden things also NCT

A mickey mouse top, i used to love mickey and minnie mouse when i was a child!

And finally the birthday crown you saw Lucy wearing earlier. Hand made by me.
We have all had a lovely day, exhausting but lovely. hopefully both girls will sleep well tonight. I still have to pinch my self to think that i have two girls! also weid coincidence, Lucy was awke from 3 til 4 last night and she did a poo, which she never does any more, so i had to change her and it was not til this morning that i realised that was the time she was born!! 3.15 am! how weird.

Another piece of amazing news is that my dear friend Marie had her baby this morning. A baby girl called Maisie weighing 7lb! well done you Maz! and now Lucy has a birthday buddy! Who would have thought when we sat on the playgfround in the freezing cold at the age of 11, that oneday in the year we turned 30, we would have had our girls born on the same day, one year apart with Chloe (my god daughter) born a week after Lucy! And we have all had girls!!! apart from Jody, but she sadly lives in Gloucester so we dont see them very often. Life is funny!
