Baby J Turned One On 8th Jan '08

Unlike Big Jie Jie, whose first birthday required 3 different cakes and 3 celebrations with 3 different groups of friends and family, J's was a tame affair.

"Happy Birthday Baby!" cried Beth first thing in the morning. And several times throughout the day.

After lunch, Carmel came over with her boys to say hello to the birthday girl.

And to give J her first ever birthday card.

J was eager to show Carmel how well she can walk now.

She walked everywhere. Across the lounge. To the playroom. No distance was too great an obstacle.

In the evening, we inducted our youngest member into the well-loved family ritual.

Setting up the cake.

Lighting the birthday candle.

Blowing out the candle...

And opening the presents...

Happy Birthday Jordanne! May the love and fear of the Lord inspire and guide you always.
