PARTYTIME!

A will be 1 on Monday. We went to her birthday party this afternoon. It was lovely to be part of the celebrations and I really enjoyed introducing Alice to A's family. A's Dad D hadn't seen Alice for a few weeks and could really see the changed in her. Alice was a little reserved to begin with, she stayed with Mummy and quickly began to respond to the friends around.

I can't believe that it's been 12 months since D's phonecall - I was so worried, I knew that her waters had broken on Saturday and then didn't hear from anyone until Tuesday, it was a very long 3 days.

A is and always has been a real beauty, she's growing and changing so fast. She wasn't feeling great for the party, but she was very good nevertheless. Her cake was especially memorable and nearly as lovely as the girl herself.

Alice wore a dress from K, thank you. She looks good in strong colours.

We had a super afternoon.
