The year of the ThingOne

We're feeling pretty happy today, thinking about the last year. Our lives have been pretty different to before, and we've had an amazing time watching her grow (not that it wasn't difficult and tiring at times!) It's hard for us to imagine what she'll be like in another year.

We've bought her a push-along trike for her birthday, and she'll be having a party with some of her baby friends on Friday.

To give Anne and me a chance to reminisce, here's a four-minute video (with sound) of ThingOne's first year (assuming YouTube isn't down, as it was when I first tried to publish this).

Thanks go out to our friends and family for being supportive and putting up with our exhaustion in the last year.



Happy first birthday ThingOne!

She walks!

I don't know why I've not added video to the blog before, but I haven't, and now I have.

ThingOne's started trying to stand last Saturday, and on New Year's Day took a few steps. She's not entirely steady, but has been doing a lot of practicing and seems to enjoy it. Here you can she she even dares peform a quick spin!
