Margaux's first birthday in Cascais

Thomas and I celebrated Margaux's birthday very quietly - just the two of us and our gorgeous girl. We tried to remember how we were feeling this time a year ago... It was interesting to compare what moments stood out for each of us and which we had completely forgotten or deemed as unimportant.


The next day, however, I hosted Mums and Tots... I went to all the effort of baking fancy chocolate muffins, only to get them stuck in their tins. Bit of a disaster, really. It was a relatively quiet one, which was nice. Margaux is now able to interact much more - and being able to support herself standing is a huge boon! She had loads of fun with Fen, Chloe, Bo, and Hilaria, while we parents enjoyed our coffee and cake. :)
