I was a bit sick and pukey for my first Christmas but it was still a very special occasion, especially for Mammy and Daddy..

My christening was today! My Godfather was cousin Stephen and my Godmother was Auntie Joanna. Daddy was not happy in the church but he ate my fairy cake!

My mama’s friend Fiona had a baby boy 2 days before mama had me in the same hospital! His name is Sean and he’s my boyfriend!

I had my first photo shoot today with Neil the photographer. I was a bit sick and cried a lot. Sorry!

My public health nurse came to visit me today for the first time and her name was Immacula. She was really nice and thought I was gorgeous. Daddy liked her too 😉

I weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces!

After the nurse left, Mammy and Daddy left me with Nana for my first babysitting so they could go shopping for stuff for me.

Mammy didn’t have a chance to get everything for me because I came too early. I got a bath, bath thermometer, nightlight, musical toy, crocheted booties and loads of other stuff.

Today was my first public outing and mammy and daddy brought me to Cryans in Carrick-on-Shannon for lunch!

It was still pretty cold outside so I was well wrapped up and it was my first trip out in my buggy. Mammy and Daddy were proud to show me off to everyone and the waitress kept smiling at me and asked how old I was.

I got loads of presents from everyone that knows me, way too many too remember but here’s the ones I loved the most.

I got a gorgeous Brown Thomas Ralph Lauren dress from my 2nd cousin Niamh, thank you.

I got beautiful flowers from my grand aunt Teresa, thank you.

A cool mobile with lights and music and a silver photo frame from my grand aunt Margaret, thank you.

Lovely pyjamas and a pram toy from my 2nd cousin Lorraine all the way from Holland! Thank you.

Thank you Nana and Grandad for the lovely Angel.

Thank you cousin Rebecca for my cool Angel coin, I love you!

Auntie Joanna, thank you for my bracelet!

Thank you Auntie Debbie for all the handy stuff you gave me, my prams, pack and play, clothes and changing mats! And thank you for my first dress!

Thank you to the Butlers for the cool nappy cake! Daddy was really sad he couldn’t eat it!

Thank you to everyone else who got me presents, I love you all XX.
