I sometimes wonder where time goes, it only seems like yesterday that I was giving birth to my second child and just how special that first Birthday is to myself, David and to Aidan's big sister Amber! Its a time to celebrate the amazing changes that have happened at such a rapid rate to our little man in that oh so special first year and to see the amazing milestones that he has reached in such a small space of time! It has also been a year of great change with Amber completing her first year at school and finding where she now fits in to a family that was once three and is now four!
Being an eldest child myself I can appreciate how much can change when you don't have your parents sole attention every single second of the day. I think a first child spends the rest of there lives once a new sibling enters the household trying to achieve and keep there parents favour and attention from that day on ward! Not that this is a bad thing I guess unless of course jealous rears its ugly head, but I have to say Amber has adjusted beautifully and most of the time has a healthy love for her little brother(except of course when he touches her little ponies or tries to eat all her princess and barbie dolls little excersories lol, but that is another story!) and it makes me so proud when I see them cuddling and spending time together!
I have to admit the second time around the celebration was very low key compared to our first, I would hate to see what would happen if I had 6 children, the last child would be lucky if I remembered it was even their birthday lol! Thankfully at the age of one they don't really remember very much but I think a first birthday is for the parents in some way to say we made it through the first year and we still some how managed to pull a party together!!!!

We had two celebrations an intimate little party with family and friends which I am starting to realize that big is not necessiarily always beautiful and a very small celebration with just us and his Oma and Opa on the actual day! Both days went way to fast but they both went off with out drama or tears!
So my sweet little man I hope you can look back on this post and share in the lovely memories and joy that you brought us in your first year of life and just how very special and wonderful a life we now have thanks to you being part of it!

How very lucky we are as grandparents to share such wonderful memories, can't believe aidan is one already, seems like yesterday that I rushed off to the hospital to share in mummy and daddys joy, as their little boy came into the world, I am truely blessed. Mummy and Daddy did a fantastic job of aidans 1st birthday and made it so very special for him, and I'm sure he will look back when he is a bit older and realise how very lucky he is to have such great parents, who love him so very much...Grandma xx
