Celebrating his ONEness!

Shabd's birthday started with hugs and kisses. We still can't believe he's ONE. We had a packed agenda for the little one-year old. Breakfast, bath, presents, walk in the garden, play with the doggies, presents, back in for a nap, out for lunch with nounou, presents, back home for more play and doo-doo before a nice long nap, presents, then the big party with even more presents and guests!

Going to let the pictures tell you about Shabd's day.

Just woke up and still getting lots of hugs!



Time for a bath! I have a feeling, that tonight's going to be a good night!




Do I look like my Papa?




My first Horsie...and he's a little scary!




Another present...i love it!




Thanks Mom...now i have my own chair for the beach




I'd rather be playing...do we have to cut this cake? Seriously guys?!




Chacha is the funniest guy i know. He's so much fun!




Even more pictures with my cousins and Dadi Ambi

















































"So the pictures with nounou Lysie are not here...because mom is allowed to forget her camera sometimes. My First birthday is not the ideal time for her to start doing that, but it's okay. We had fun! We took nounou to Flying Dodo in Bagatelle and ate a lovely lunch. I particularly liked playing outside in the white gravel...fun, fun, fun!" says Shabd.

And that was Shabd's FIRST birthday. It was a simple celebration, okay simple chic. But a celebration none-the-less. We've learnt that in life, our moments are counted, so we should ensure we spend our moments with those that count. Those invited see Shabd on an almost daily basis. They come play with him, they feed him, they have bathed him, they invite him into their homes, they make him sleep, they help us out, give us advice but most of all they really and truly love Shabd.

I missed my family.
