Jemma is no longer a baby.......

Jemma is now a big 1 year old! We had a lovely day. We got to put a girly dress on her and she looked so lovely. She kept playing with it and grinning as if to say she quite liked being made to look like a girl.

She got lovely presents and enjoyed them despite Riley stealing away with them though he was very good at it being HER day. We had a princess painting made for her and her room is starting to look like a wee girls room.

Mum made a yummy gluten and casein free cake and Dad helped with the decorating because he is better than Mum at that sort of stuff. Grandma and Grandad came down to see us. Lyn from next door came over and brought a present for Jemma AND the big brother. How lucky is that!

Jemma celebrated her milestone by starting to crawl. She is getting along a bit like a caterpillar- bum in the air and using her elbows. Unfortunately, the 'cage' has to go back on the tv/stereo because she likes to play with the on/off button and the volume dial on the stereo. She also likes to pull Mum's recipe books out of the bookshelf.

Jemma was able to sit at the chair for her birthday cake and it made Mum a bit sad. Her baby is becoming a toddler and since she is the last baby, Mum was feeling a little 'blue' about Jemma growing up. She has obviously forgotten all the sleepless nights of the last 6 months......
