Family pics of the Birthday Boy

I can't really believe that tomorrow is Marty's first birthday. Somehow it all seems to have gone by so quickly, even the bits that went really slowly (like the long nights of crying - his and mine).

I thought I'd post a whole bunch of recent 'family life' type pics as a precursor to what will probably be a week or two of birthday related blog posts.

Marty and cousin CW playing with the playhouse. This is right before Marty decided to give CW a big old sloppy kiss right on the noggin, drenching his poor head in drool!

Brush your teeth, round and round...

He has five teeth now!

New trick, climb into the toybox to play!

Love drawing on those frosty morning windows

The poor cauliflower never saw it coming!

What a joy to see some beautiful photo's of our little 1 year old. We were so overjoyed, when we heard he was conceived, then the wonderful blogs throughout the pregnancy. We thought the birth seemed a breeze but the news afterwards, on how sick he was, well our hearts sank and the prayers rose. Now he is an extremely happy and bright young, energetic toddler, who is now one, and with all those teeth!! Our prayers were answered and you are a very treasured family. Happy birthday Marty from Grandad and Gran. xoxo

Mothersupex says it all. A verry Happy Birthday to a very special boy and his mums.

He looks a real charmer and I can see the Richardson side of the family in him. If he isnt already, he will be walking confidently very soon.

Wish I could be with him,

GA Kate

I had a funny feeling today was a "check the blog day"! Now I know why! I hope Marty Roo got his annual dose of extra-special hugs and kisses. Please give him a spicy Cajun kiss!

I can't believe Marty's one already! Many happy returns of the day to him!

Thinking of all three of you,
Laura
