A belated post, as Friday 10th October marked the day that we celebrated our darling little Henry’s very first birthday. A child turning one is momentous in so many ways. Not only has a baby blossomed into a toddler, it signifies a year of firsts, a year of learning for both parent and child, of tears and triumphs, bonding and discovery. The occasion was especially poignant for Matt and I. Our beautiful rainbow…

It is amazing how much Henry has changed already. We look back at his photos from his first day with us and can’t believe how much…
Our Rainbow Baby
