Rafferty finished his first year
on the planet in style, and started walking a couple of weeks before
his birthday. He quickly became quite good at this and was learning
to moonwalk backwards as he turned one. We had a big party for his
first birthday on a sunny afternoon, with all his family, godparents
and baby friends. For the grown-ups there was the mandatory barbeque
and plenty of champagne, while Raffy enjoyed his new slide and about
a million toys given to him by his generous guests. Many thanks to
all who came along and made it a very special first birthday... |

In early June, before he started walking. Here's the boy holding on
to a tree in our local park, where we take him to play on the swings. |

A day out to the beach, near Margate. Getting the sunscreen on his
face was proving to be a bit of a battle. |

Our gorgeous boy - this shot was taken on his first birthday. I have
a feeling he will break a few hearts when he's older. |

Climbing on the new slide that Ruth and Nathan bought him for his
birthday. |
|

Raffy got fed up with simply walking and decided to work out a little
tap routine. |
|

And then went on to start shouting a lot... |

Our first Father's Day: Raffy and I in the morning with the card he
made me at the Day Nursery - on his own, of course... |

Climbing the steps up to our patio. He's getting quite fearless, which
is good for the future, but a bit worrying at the moment! |
