We gon' party like it's yo birthday

Today we had a (early) party to celebrate Teddy's 1st Birthday, and the theme was "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"; all Teddy's little folk friends were invited.

We made a papier mache version of a caterpillar and hung him in the kitchen, the early morning rain foiled our original plans to hang him outside. 

We made a bunch of food, much of which the caterpillar ate little holes through! 

We went old school and put up a bunch of photos of Ted's first year on our wall (photos on a real wall, no facebook involved!)

Adults had a cider based punch...

...topped off of, course, with a caterpillar!

Much merriment was had...

...and after singing Happy Birthday Teddy blew out his candle! 

...and ate some cake. 

Thanks everyone for coming, and for all the wonderful presents. 

Busy week...

We set up some of the baby stuff... 

...then the London Marathon came past the end of our street, so we went around to a neighbours (who is also pregnant) to watch it, and saw this kettle band...

...and the famous running Rhino's... 

...and the Wolverhampton Bob Sled team...

...and a whole marching band running (well marching) together...

... then the following weekend we hung out in Greenwich...

...and also ate some lovely Vegan Cup Cakes..

... so as you can see we're still waiting for the Baby to come...
