Zachary's 2nd Birthday!

 
Today is Zachary's birthday and he has been celebrating in style...

Dressed as Noddy for the day

He had a great party with his little friends this morning. He wasn't quite as distracted opening his presents this year, but he did wander off a few times.

 Then it was time for a party lunch...

Then it was time for cake. Zachary managed to blow out the first candle all by himself, but then was surprised at the smoke coming off and wouldn't go near the second candle.

Then it was time for a party game... pass the parcel! The toddlers were surprisingly good at passing it around.

Cake please!

After a fantastic party it was finally time for everyone to go home. Thanks to everyone for making Zachary's day special.

The Fitz Wedding

Last weekend we had the privilege of being invited to Rich and Beth's wedding, so we headed to Cardiff for the weekend and stayed with Auntie Vickrum and Auntie Phobe.

Arrived just in time to read some books before bed

Here's what Zachary was up to on the morning of the wedding...

Anything to tire him out before the service!

 We had a wonderful time at the wedding; the bride and groom made a stunning couple:

Picture perfect

Here's Zachary waiting for the service to begin. He sat still for the 5 minutes before it started, then decided it would be more fun to run around, dragging Daddy down the steps and attempting to pick oranges from a dwarf orange tree which was decorating the church.

Planning his exit

There were some lovely welcome drinks at the reception. They were alcoholic, so Zachary had a glass of squash instead. However, he wasn't at all interested in his squash and only wanted Mummy and Daddy's "juice".

"That's the one I want!"

Zachary had a great time 'mingling' with the crowd i.e. attempting to run away and disappear while Daddy chased, it was a fun game to him.

Wondering if anyone will share their juice

Then it was time for a delicious meal; Zachary made every effort he could to get as messy as possible, but he did very much enjoy his chips and beans (not so sure about the chicken nuggets). He had a brilliant time pulling the stickers from their sheet and sticking them onto the tray of his high chair.

Thanks very much and congratulations to Mr & Mrs Fitzsimons- we hope you have a fantastic honeymoon!

Another congratulations is in order for Beckrum and Mr K on the birth of their beautiful baby girl, Kalina Elsie Robinson, a hefty 10lb 9oz, who was born on Friday 27th June.

Couldn't wait to stop by and have a cuddle
