At the weekend just gone, Adelaide had her very first birthday. We went up the Stone to celebrate with her. It was a lovely, lovely day and we all ate too much cake. Grandma and Caz had created a very spectacular cake indeed.
It had a rainbow in it.
This day was an early example of daddy feeling the ever so protective parent. A number of other children also at the party were calling you a 'tortoise' and running away from you so you would chase them. This was a little heartbreaking to watch, knowing that the word 'tortoise' implied that you were slow. You were slow, to be fair. You did seem to love chasing everyone and never catching them. I think you just loved being involved in a game with them.
It turned a bit when they all stood round you and were laughing then one of the other children flicked their fruit shoot at you. Daddy used his teacher tone at the children and they stopped.
Adelaide had a lovely wig which she wore to melt the heart of all who laid their eyes on her. Harvey arrived about 7 hours late, but at least he arrived. Grandma sent him to Leek, apparently.
You were so excited for the whole day. You were so excited for Adelaide. In fact, the last four pictures of these below, illustrate that fact rather nicely.
Poor Adelaide.
Happy Birthday! (On the 31st)
