Well I made it through my first year, which is no mean feat in itself, but here of some of the things I’ve achieved for all of those of you who thought that all I did was eat, sleep and fill my nappies:

I was born at 3.41kg/7lb8.5 – today I weigh in at 10.90kg/24lb exactly.
I’ve grown 27 cm taller from 54cm to 81cm.
I’m now wearing 12-18mth clothes and mummy says a year ago I was lost in newborn size.
I can say mama and dada, though lately I only tend to when I want to moan.
I’ve just got my 7th tooth and number 8 is on its way.
I can crawl at break neck speed and pull myself up to standing and walk around the furniture with no problem. I’m still too chicken to try walking without holding on, though I have forgotten to keep hold occassionally when standing still and managed not to break my neck.
When it comes to food I’ll give anything a go, but my favourites are spag bol, blueberries, weetabix and banana, oh and icecream and chocolate when I’m allowed.
I have my own passport and so far I’ve been on 3 holidays as well as loads of trips to see my Granny and Grandad in Banbury. So far I’ve been to the Isle of Wight, the Lake District, Amsterdam and I’ve spent one whole night away from mummy and daddy in Banbury with Granny and Grandad to look after me.
I can build towers with my cups and smaller towers with blocks, I can stack rings and sort shapes (especially green ones).
My favourite things to do are playing with anything Thomas the Tank Engine, reading my books, going to Baby Babble on a Wednesday afternoon and going swimming with mummy and daddy. I also love anything musical that I can boogie to and mummy and daddy say I’m a telebug.

Here’s some pictures to show you how I’ve grown over the last year
