This weekend my nephew celebrated his 1st birthday and his Christening.
Christenings normally reduce children to tears, but Harry is such a happy chappie and took the whole thing in his stride. He sat on his mothers lap and paid attention to the vicar the whole way through the service. He didn't make a sound and looked genuinely interested in what was being said. When he was taken to the font and had water thrown on his face he still didn't cry. In fact he just wanted to put his hand in the water and swish it around. He truly was a very well behaved little boy.

After the Christening everyone went to a hall where we had a party to celebrate Harry's 1st Birthday. Harry had had a 2 hour nap earlier in the day so he was well rested and full of energy. His parents had hired a bouncy castle for the older children to play on, but Harry was desperate to have a go.
My brother and his family
It was a very nice afternoon, but I was exhausted by the end of it. I spent a lot of the afternoon running around after a very energetic Harry. Charlotte also had a great time and spent most of the time with her friends, in fact I hardly saw her all afternoon. I occasionally saw a shock of blonde hair run past me.

I can't believe Harry is 1 already, and Charlotte will turn 4 next week. Time goes by way too fast for my liking.
