GABE WAS BORN ON OCTOBER 21ST, A YEAR AGO. TIME FLIES. I'VE BEEN INTENDING TO GET THIS BLOG UP AND RUNNING FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD - GETTING NOTHING DONE. OR GETTING EVERYTHING DONE - IF IT RELATES TO "HIS HIGHNESS".
EVEN NOW, I'M TYPING OUT THIS BLOG POST AT SUPER HIGH SPEED, IN THE HOPE THAT MY LITTLE MAN DOESN'T CUT HIS MEASLY, HOUR LONG NAP, DOWN TO ANY SHORTER THAN IT ALREADY IS.
SO GABE'S BIRTHDAY WAS A TREAT. I TOOK HIM TO BREAKY WITH TWO OF HIS GODMOTHERS (HE HAS FOUR. HIS DAD AND I COULDN'T BARE TO CULL!)
HE ALSO HAD HIS FIRST PHOTO SHOOT. A PORTRAIT SESSION WHICH INCLUDED THE BIRTHDAY BOY, HIS NANI & ME. WE ALSO LET HIM GET MESSY WITH A CAKE SMASH (BASICALLY, THIS WAS JUST GABE GOING NUTS WITH HIS 1ST BIRTHDAY CAKE - IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME).
THE PHOTOS ARE FABULOUS. KIM HANDLEY WAS THE PHOTOGRAPHER, YOU CAN SEE MORE OF HER WORK AT www.willowportraitsandphotography.com. SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM, WITH A GREAT EYE AND BEAUTIFUL STYLE.
SIDE NOTE: DON'T BE DECEIVED BY THE GREAT LOOKING CAKE. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING AS HORRENDOUS AS WHAT CAME OUT OF MY BOY'S BUM THAT NIGHT! (APOLOGIES FOR BEING SO CRASS) THOUGH I THOUGHT IT NEEDED TO BE MENTIONED IN CASE ANYBODY HOPES TO "TRY THIS AT HOME". BAKE THE CAKE YOURSELF AND BE SURE NOT TO INCLUDE ANY HIDDEN NASTIES. OR ELSE BEWARE - YOUR BABY'S BOWELS MAY NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
MY DODGY, BEHIND THE SCENES JOB.
HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY ANGEL BOY!
