Taz's 1st birthday


It's been a while but we are re-entering the blogging world because we have a whole new set of adventures to share as we explore the world through these little eyes.  Since I last posted, we have added a new member to our family - Tasman Petter - an inquisitive, precocious, goofy little kid who loves the outdoors and loves animals (hmm, where does he get that from)?  He turned 1 on June 20th, and we did our best to have a proper celebration.  Our friend Kristie came down from Dubbo to join in the festivities.  We kicked off the party at home with cake and presents (but no birthday hat!)
Not a fan of birthday hats!
 




 
 
Cake was exciting, but despite the appearance of imminent cake smashing in this photo, we did not get much of a cake smash :(
And of course had to share some with Ani - feeding animals turned out to be the theme of the day!


Not quite sure about this opening presents thing...
... so Ani helped him out

...and dad helped, too.


After cake and presents we headed off to the zoo, because what better place is there to celebrate your first birthday!?!  And when you have a friend who works there, it's even better! :)
Always excited to go out on an adventure!


Watching red pandas get fed

Got to feed a bongo...

and give him the stink-face!

Got to feed a zebra

And last but not least, got to feed a giraffe!



All that animal feeding was pretty exhausting!
Taz was a happy chappie all day long, and I think it was a pretty successful first birthday, if I do say so myself!  Only thing that would have made it better is having family there to celebrate with us.
