My kind of gift

A wonderful mama gifted me a family pass to Belvedere House and Gardens.
It included an extra child, so I invited friends of ours along for the fun too.
What a great way to spend a Friday afternoon!
We walked around for three hours, and the kids tried every swing, rope, and zipline they came across.
Hubby got to climb a tree, and I got my nerdy fix by studying the old ice house on the grounds.

Going to get dizzy...

Spinning

Perfect climbing tree

Feeling brave

Who needs a picnic blanket

Snack time

Celebration

Little man has been with us for a full year today!
We celebrated on Sunday, with cake and a gift.
The birthday boy enjoyed playing with the box, tearing up a napkin while I made his cake, and tasting some birthday cake.

It has been the fastest year of my life.
Rollo is such a chilled out little guy (as long as he's not getting dressed).
He's getting funny, and loves creeping up on his brother under the table.
He takes after mama in loving his food. If it doesn't appear fast enough, he shouts.
He has a big sister who adores him, and makes plans to bring him everywhere as soon as he's able to walk. To her, he is "Litot patot", and they have great chats every morning, as soon as he makes his first sound.
He's waiting to get his first library card, but has been told he needs to stop eating books first.
He has two teeth, and we get to admire them constantly while he shows off his beautiful grin.
He is the snuggliest, most loveable little dude, and we're all delighted to have him in our lives.

Happy birthday my darling!
