It's been a whole year...

... since Cecily arrived! This year I think really has been the quickest of my life. Back in September Cecily turned one. We had a few presents for her to open and took her to the garden centre to see the animals. We did sing her happy birthday a few times which she loved though she didn't get a cake. Oh well.

She got into the unwrapping pretty quickly,

 even though her sisters were desperate to help

 and play with her new toy

 Here she is in her new birthday dress from Grandma and Grandpa

 I love this photo because it shows her doing what she loves to do - carry around socks. She has actually stopped doing it so much now but she used to carry socks everywhere she went, not just one but as many as she could get her hands on and would frequently get frustrated because she couldn't physically fit 10 socks in her hand at one time, she gave it a good go though!

Here are some facts about our little blondie:

- she loves to accessorise, hairbands, scarves, clips etc

- she loves breakfast

- she loves her dummy

- she loves animals especially cows (loves to look out the window for the cows in the field next to our house), dogs and cats and is pretty fearless around them 

- she can say all her sister's names and mama and dada, yum and amen, woof, moo and lots of other words that sound Chinese.

- she was our earliest walker, 11 months

- at the moment she likes to wake up at 4.30, not good news for her parents 

- she is a really good natured baby, very friendly

We all love her like crazy!!!!
