He woke early, and opened his presents while still in his pyjamas. He was so excited! Though he didn't tear at the paper, he was very gentle and carefully helped me open them for him.
The first present opened, was from Granny and Grandpa in England. A beautiful wooden dog, with his very own kennel. He is so perfect!
He also got some beautiful clothes from his Aunty and Uncle in England, that came with their very own suitcase. Some musical instruments.....
a soft toy dog that he just loves
and we gave him a ride on bumble bee. He squealed with delight as he opened it, but he is now terrified of it, and every time I try to put him on it he cries and tries to curl his legs up to get away.
After present opening, he had a bath, which must be one of his all time favourite activities. I made the bath extra warm, so he could spend a long time in there. And we had fun splashing around together and getting soaked.
In the afternoon we had tea and cake with his Grandma, and then out for an early dinner, just the three of us. Toby refused to eat his baby food while we were out, he wanted to be all grown up. So he ended up having a dinner of mashed potato, gravy and chips, all from our plates. Very grown up.
And here he is, exactly one year earlier, when he was just minutes old.....
And what a year it has been. Sometimes so hard, often so tired, but (nearly) always amazing, as we have watched him grow.
