Thomas' First Birthday :-)

Wow what a birthday weekend! We had a really lovely time. On Friday (Thomas' actual birthday) he spent the morning opening and playing with his birthday present which is a Thomas the Tank Engine first train set. It was good fun, although the little man seems to prefer dismantling the track rather than putting it together!

Here's a piccie of him opening up his birthday cards.


Thomas met up with his mate Alex at a soft play centre for lunch, and practised his walking by pushing along one of the baby walkers. Here he is in action.


The rest of his birthday was spent with family and friends, playing with all his new toys. I used to think our house was quite big but that was before Thomas' toys multiplied overnight!

Sunday was party day, we hired a local church hall, a bouncy castle and a ball pit and filled it with all our friends and family. It was a great day and it was really nice to see so many people. A baby's first birthday is always such an event but throw two major heart operations and a cardiac catheter into your first year of being on the planet and it becomes a REALLY special day. Thank you to everyone who came and shared it with us and thank you all for your very generous presents. Thomas is a very lucky little boy. Here's a couple more photo's of the birthday boy.
