Birthday boy

You are a year old, my beautiful son. You circled your presents yesterday before choosing to play with the (unwrapped) teddy from uncle Trevor and cousin Kasey. You got a boat from your nan, clothes and a phone from auntie Kerry, and cards and cash too. Cousin Tiantian sent an English message, which was lovely. Next year, there may be a party.

Lip-smacking good

Your kisses are wet and open-mouthed but your mum and I love them. As well as us, you kiss your panda, koala and other fluffy toys plus a woman in a flowery dress in your book "Tickle Tickle" and some of the writing in "One Bear".

Today I kissed your mum on the forehead and then blew a kiss to you and you copied the sound. You had learnt to pucker. Now your mum and I are looking forward to puckered kisses. xxx
