Hard to believe but on 8th November my baby Charlie turned 1! Which means Oscar is now 2 and a half. Which makes me ... well never mind!
Charlie has brought us so much happiness over the past 12 months. All those wonderful firsts - smiles, laughs, rolling over, sitting, standing and just in the last week, those amazing first steps. He's such a different little personality from his brother too, much more independant and a real daddy's boy.
Hubs and I are both only-children so we had no idea what to expect with 2 little ones. While we are certainly busier now and a for a while got a lot less sleep, having 2 kids is awesome. Can't wait to see what the next year brings for both my little men.
Here are a few photos of the birthday boy and his cakes (yep, cakes plural)!
A basic chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing and decorated with white chocolate buttons. I made this for his actual birthday.
First ever taste of cake. Yum! Just watch the sugar coma setting in ...
The kite cake from p11 of the Women's Weekly Kids' Birthday Cakes cookbook. A basic buttercake with buttercream icing tinted in red, leaf green, violet and lemon yellow. A little rough around the edges but with 2 birthday cakes a year from now on, there's plenty of chance to practice!
At his birthday party in the park.'whaddya mean no more cake till next year?!'
Happy 1st Birthday to Charlie. Love the Kite cake - my Dads a kite man, and he may be a grown man, but i think if I made him a Kite cake - he'd love it. Thanks for sharing.
