William Kerry James Maloney turned one today. He’s been such a big part of our lives for so long now, right from the early stages of the pregnancy through to today. It just doesnt feel like only a year that he’s been out and about.
What a year, he has achieved sooo much. Learnt to sit up, roll over, crawl, walk and talk all by himself. Sure he can only say "mum mum" "da da" and "teddy" and still walks like his father does after a whole bottle of bourbon, but he’s done all this without anyone helping him or telling him what to do. Fantastic achievement for a little guy. I guess we should pat ourselves on the back for doing this and so much more besides, we often beat ourselves up over really trivial matters and dont sit back and think how cool we really are for all those things we’ve done in our lives that are little but oh so wonderful.
Happy birthday Willsy!
In the weekend we had a little family BBQ to celebrate, I have posted the pictures from the day here.
Ended up being a bit more quiet than we planned, our camping trip for New Years eve got called off as the kids came down with the pox and we thought it best not to infect the rest of humanity with it. So instead had a fairly quiet one round at Rich & Fe’s place, noice view of the sky tower fireworks from their balcony which was cool. Ended up collapsing about 4am or 5am, just missed out seeing dawn which in hindsight was probably a good thing. We were going up to the bay of islands for a few days to visit Fe’s aunty who hasnt been well, but the weather packed up on us so we’ve postponed that for a couple of weeks. Roll on summer I say!
