Happy Birthday Sam!
Sam turned one on Saturday! Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, etc....
We gathered the clans for lunch at a tapas bar in London, and Sam was ever so excited to see everyone. He got a lot more presents, and was a good as gold all day, despite having just got over a bout of the Dreaded Lurgy last week (which he has since passed on to his Mummy, the poor thing).

Nearly 1 !!
After visiting the family over Christmas, we spent a week in Devon over New Year with a group of friends, which was fun. With two other babies, a toddler and a pair of eight year old twins in the house, Sam was not short of people to play with, and thoroughly enjoyed himself! Unfortunately the weather wasn't too great, but we did get a few walks in (using our backpack for the first time) and visited a local zoo.
Sam is just cutting his eye teeth it seems, although they aren't completely through yet. He's dribbling lots, but he isn't complaining too much (famous last words!). He's still not crawling, but has decided that it's easier to get about by shuffling around on his bum, which is hilarious to watch (especially on our wooden floors at home!). He can definitely shift when he wants too - the other day we turned our backs for just a few seconds and he was across the floor, had both his hands in a plant pot, and was eating the compost! Ah well, it's extra fibre in his diet I suppose!

First Christmas
Again, it's been an absolute age since any report on Sam's blog, but to bring you up to date:
We were all a bit poorly in December, but recovered in time for Sam to really enjoy his first Christmas and New Year. He wasn't too sure what was going on, but definitely appreciated all the presents! He's now got more toys than he knows what to do with, and his 1st birthday is looming as well! Lucky boy.
Anyway, some photos of him at Christmas...
