Our gorgeous little boy turned 1 today. Its hard to believe that it's been a whole year, some days feel like they've flown by and others seem a little bit longer. Since his birth Aston has travelled to London, Reading, Bourmouth, New York, LA (briefly), Hawaii, Sydney and is about to take a trip back to the UK to see his wonderful English grandparents again.
He has learned to roll, crawl, clap, do twinkle twinkle, babble and now walk. And when we say walk we mean WALK. That's all we do now. Sometimes in circles around and around the apartment.
He understands simple instructions such as 'Aston go and get your yoghurt' he will go to the fridge, open it, get his yoghurt and bring it to me. 'Where's mommy's nose' (Like you could miss it says Rob), 'Ta' and the appropriate use of the word, ma ma ma, da da da and a few other sounds. Including at the moment the re-emergance of the very unattractive squeal. Which we're hoping he forgets again before the next plane ride.
He's gone from loving his bath to HATING his bath in the last week so we are working on tactic's to try and get him washed each night until this temporary glitch is over.
He notices birds and points to them, he notices planes in the sky and points to them. Luckily he has a lot of opportunity to notice the planes given the Sydney flight path ra ra ra. He is by in large a happy, cheeky, friendly and gregarious little boy who we are very lucky to have in our lives. We hope he has a wonderful day.

Looks as though Aston had a lovely Birthday with some great pressies. Its hard to believe that this time last year he was just a tiny bundle of joy.
We do count ourselves lucky that we have seen so much of our beautiful Grandson since he was born, and also that Mel and Rob have been doing a great job of keeping us posted via this blog, we always look forward to new updates.
We are all so looking forward to seeing him again(and his Mum and Dad of course) in October.
