My little Nemo turns one

I can't believe it, my little Nemo (named when he was this goldfish sized person inside my tummy) is now a whole year old!

Nemo's was due on Prince George's birthday but was 2 weeks late, his birth by emergency c-section was after a 3 day induction and I'm really hoping I little Pebble makes a smoother entrance into the world! 

Nemo is such a character now it's hard to remember how little and helpless he was when he was first born.

So I have to indulge in some reminiscing! 


This is the first picture I ever took of Nemo, it was the night he was born and I was so tried but couldn't sleep. I wanted an excuse to hold him so waited for him to make a little whimper and then called a midwife so she would give him to me! 






Soooo cute!!!!!! 

So the day before Nemo's birthday I was busy trying to make him a cake which would be special for his first birthday :) 
This is how I did 




Overal I was pretty pleased with the cake, I was a bit disappointed by Nemo, I made the colour by adding food colouring to ready made fondant icing and this seemed to have the affect of reducing its ability to keep its shape so I couldn't keep the oval fish shape as well as I would have liked. I wonder if I had added in icing sugar if I could have counteracted this affect?









During the day we met up with Nemo's friends at soft play and and had fun eating cake. Nemo was so tired by the end of the day he went to bed without his  usual nighttime bath. 

I've felt very emotional about my little boy turning one it's made me even more excited about Pebble joining us! 

Just to finish here's Nemo with his daddy :)
