Another first birthday? Wasn't it just yesterday that they'd celebrated Emi's first birthday? For the longest while, Amanda looked at her baby boy, running around in the yard with his big sister. Mother Nature had granted them good weather, considering the season, and they'd taken full advantage of the opportunity to be outdoors.
There was nothing but smiles today. They had a lot to celebrate. For one, despite a difficult first year of life, Angelo was a contented baby. He'd managed to overcome a physical deficit and not only had he the perseverance to crawl, but now he could walk as well. He could run, in fact. There were still moments when Angelo refused to use his left arm, but overall, he'd made incredible improvements. They'd had a cake for everyone to partake in, but later that day, with Angelo stripped down to nothing but a diaper cover, they'd given him free will with a cake of his own. "Mummy wook at Angewo!" Emi exclaimed as Angelo dug into is cake with both hands, his face soon following. There was an outburst of laughter from all of them, and soon, Angelo's perplexed expression morphed into one of utter excitement. He squealed happily, smearing blue frosting everywhere. Amanda soon rescued him from the sticky mess. "You deserve a bath, birthday boy...from daddy" she said, handing him over to Niels, a playful grin on her face. Angelo beamed and gripped his daddy's face in both of his frosting-covered hands. It was surely a happy birthday, and hopefully many more to come!
