In the jungle the mighty jungle....

So we survived the first birthday party. We are all so tired and full but happy. It was a great day. Lots of people, laughs, food, presents (lots of those!!!!). Poor little Joel woke up with the killer of all blocked noses and a very husky little voice (AGAIN!!!!) but he was a trooper and the party went on. He was a little clingy for most of it but loved the present opening time. He was totally totally spoilt. So much stuff - we seriously look like we have robbed a toy shop. You can see his mother load of presents in one of the last photos. CRAZY CRAZY. Just wanted to share some pics of Joel's special day with you all.

A photo of Joel's present from my Mum and Dad - a Thomas the Tank engine babushka - all the way from Russia. Cute, hey!!

I need to go to bed now! We are off to the Maternal Child Health Nurse tomorrow for Joel's 12 month check up so I'll post the big stats (more for mum and dad and my own records!!)

Till next time

We've been out all day in the country, and rushed home to see photos of the big event. As usual, you didn't let us down!!

You went to so much trouble.. it looks like it was a great time. Sensational cake too. He did do well in the pressie area didn't he?

Also noticed the jelly slice. Mum actually made some yesterday, so we will sit down at 5pm local time and have some with a cup of coffee and sing Happy Birthday to Joel.

Lots of love. Give the little man a big hug from us. M & D. xoxoxo

A (very easy) test for Mum and Dad: Can you work out which shirt Stuart and I bought? Stuart has one similar...

Look at me and Matt in the top left photo... how embarrassing! What can I say, the frog-in-a-ponds were irresistible!! You did a really good job yesterday.

P.S. Being the Mum of a two week old and not being able to drive = we owe Joel a present (cause it looks like he really went without... not).
