Noah's face was an absolute picture when he first clapped eyes on the big bunch of golden balloons waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs. Just a hunch but I don't think he was too impressed, seeing as he ran off shouting "ARRRGH SCARY".. Not the reaction we were hoping for! |
The doughnut breakfast went down much better, although who can say no to sticky chocolate doughnuts with candles on top?! |
He was a very happy chappy opening up all of his lovely presents, I've never seen anyone so excited about a fedora (this boy loves his hat wear people!) |
Not forgetting his brand spanking new Uke.. He prefers to turn it over and use it as a drum or a weapon but I'm hoping in a year or two he will be able to strum a little tune. Hmm, probably being a tad optimistic seeing as I am a complete dud when it comes to playing an instrument. If he winds up being a musical prodigy it definitely wasn't inherited from my side of the gene pool! |
Afterwards we headed to The Gourmet Burger Kitchen, where I think we all suffered from Eyes-Bigger-Than-Belly syndrome. The burgers there are soo tasty, I'm pretty sure I could easily polish off three of four, and they have such amazing milkshakes, I had the Chocolate Oreo and Noah had his all time favourite- Banana! It was finished off with one (ahem.. several) helpings of his triple chocolate fudge birthday cake (oof!) |
I can't believe how quickly the time has passed. Although I look forward to every new milestone there is still the little pang of sadness knowing he is no longer our tiny little baby. He's becoming a determined little soul, so talkative, adventurous and brave. I am very intrigued to see what this new year holds for us, potty training and 'the terrible two's tantrums' should be.. interesting! But also being able to have a proper conversation with him, seeing his personality continue to develop, there is a lot in store for us and it is very exciting. |
