First birthday picnic
Saturday, July 12th, 2008
Jonathan’s first birthday party was a fairly low-key affair. Just a casual picnic in the park with us and some friends with their own little people.
When his big day rolled around, our lad was slightly subdued and not his normal happy self. We put this down to a curious little virus that was whipping round the local infant community. It didn’t have any serious effects, but did dampen his healthy appetite, cover his torso with little red spots, and made him a lot more solemn than usual.
Nevertheless, he was still able to enjoy his presents (and their boxes!) and prove that he had ample appetite for sticky chocolate birthday cake when his turn came around! 
(Additional pictures from his birthday and our holiday are in this album.)
