Well here we are one year on and how Mabel has grown from the little squiggle she was to the baby bear she is now. We have both realised how lucky we have been as squiggs has been an almost perfect baby, ticking all the boxes; sleep, eating, crying (teething has been relatively easy) and just the happiest baby, always smiling.

First Birthday lasted for the traditional 3 days, as begun by Alice (who seems to make it 10 days, from birthday to Christmas Eve.

Saturday we entertained around 25 persons, family and friends. And for the first time all siblings were present, and all 7 of our children in one place. Pictures below.
