We had a birthday party for Peanut last weekend. We invited family and a few friends and put on a BBQ with salads and other yummy bits and pieces. Our place was disorganised and messy as always so we had to spend the night before cleaning up and getting the BBQ and balcony ready for the next day. I think that took until about 2am or later to do. The next morning, we were up at about 7 or 8 to prepare all the food and get Peanut ready for his party. We had all the food ready around about the time we were planning to actually finish the party so that Peanut could have his nap. Hah! Needless to say, it didn't quite work out that way. But Peanut did manage to fit in a nap during his own birthday party while everyone was having lunch and chatting. Lucky fellow. I know I could have done with a nap at that time too!
Anyway, it was a nice day overall and Peanut enjoyed himself and all the attention that he was getting. Not to mention all the presents. I've never known him to take as much interest in baby toys as he has with the new stuff he got for his birthday. He used to always just go for our things - remote controls, phones, computers. His own toys never seemed to interest him, no matter how hard we tried to entice him to play with them. And it's not like the new things are wildly different from his old ones either. Oh well, maybe it's just the novelty of having new things and he'll be back to grabbing at our electronics soon enough...
I can't believe a year has passed so quickly. It doesn't seem like that long ago that we were just coming home from the hospital with our lives turned upside down in more ways than one! More on that later I think...
