1 year and 0 teeth!

Yes, Connor turned one recently amidst modest fanfare, but has yet to cut a tooth. He has been developing noticeably in the past couple of weeks, becoming more and more energetic and active. He now moves around in about as close to a running crawl as one could get. It's a bit scary to see from floor level. He lets out a joyful, slightly anarchic "Aaahh!" and sets off towards you at double time crawl. He also recently impressed our friends Mike and Margit and Suzanne by crawling up and down the rather steep hill in front of the Yavont house.

For his birthday he had a train cake, devised by Nonni, and expertly executed by Jamie, Sarah and Nonni. Interested to see what our enthusiastic eater might do with a chocolate cake we plopped the whole thing in front of him. He was actually a little taken aback and held his hands up in the air and regarded the cake cautiously. Then, slowly, he reached down and primly removed one blue M&M from the cake. Probably thought it was a blueberry.
