Granda pat me in a basket for a fun da streen - it kept me in peace for a peerie while!

Here are some photos from Granny and Daa Yell's ruby wedding anniversary. We had great fun - Granny and Daa slept in the four-poster bed that night, but I don't think they got to bed very early, because the party went on way efter we left at 1am! We had a fantastic meal, then efter dat, everybody wis entertained by the musicians in the family - doesn't my big cousin, Derek look really cool wi his accordian?
Mia gave wis a song too!

I wis an awful good boy, and tootled aroond aa night wi my "gaa". Mam and dad wir awful proud o' me!

I've found oot dat I can run away fae mam when I get oot o da bath - it's great fun running aroond in da buff - I always mak straight fur my playcentre, so mam keens exactly whaur tae fin me!

We've had a very exciting weekend dis weekend - we had a big spree at the Lerwick Hotel, celebrating granny and daa's ruby anniversary - dat means dey hiv been married forty whole years!!!!! Wowee! Photos to follow soon xx

Well folks - dat's da first year in! Ian took his first steps ten days afore his first birthday, and dir his been no stopping him since! There's not a minute's peace fur ony o wis. He has even discovered that he can pull himsell up in the cot noo, so it's not as easy getting him settled as it used to be! He still sleeps really well though - usually down by nine and sleeps till back o' eight or coming to nine, wi a good long sleep at some point through the day - when I hiv to go like the wind to get all my chores done! He haes twelve teeth, which have come all through relatively trouble-free. He has a funny wird fur baa.... sounds lik gorr, and has discovered dat he can say cat.

I'm wirking oot my maternity leave, so not getting much chance to do anything as long as I'm commuting up and doon fae Yell, so forgive me for not updating as aften as I wid lik tae! We'll be back! We've got a lok coming up to keep you posted on..... granny and daa Yell's ruby wedding is the nixt big event..... come back and see how dat guid!

My party in Burra had loads of cousins, but mam and granny were so busy that they didna manage to get any photos - we'll hiv to mak sure they get their cameras oot at the hoose-warming, because it's good to hiv photos of the people you love.... I got heaps of lovely pressies and was really spoiled rotten (although I wis a well-behaved peerie boy, and deserved every wan!!)

This was my party in Yell, we had a birthday tea with my Yell cousins, and we invited Travis (who is two days younger than me). It is his mam's birthday the same day as me too! We had loads of fun, as you can see. I missed dad being there, but he was ashore for the Saturday party.

There's been a lot of cake-blowing lately.... Mia and George was in February, but mam just got the photos fae Daa da streen, Aunty Sarah was on the 25th - she's smiling because the next cake she cuts will be her wedding cake, not because she has hit the big 3-0!! Granny's birthday was on the 1st of May, and MOST important, MY FIRST BIRTHDAY was on the 26th of April.... I've got more photos to show you of my day.....
