George is now another year older so how has the second year gone? Well, it’s been very different to
the first year! Having recovered from his illness over the new year, George got back on his feet and
hasn’t really stopped since. Rosie has had to open the eyes in the back of her head to try to keep
up with him. Unfortunately, just before his first birthday, we discovered George has nut allergy so
that has been interesting, considering we used to cook everything in groundnut oil and peanut butter
was our favourite breakfast addition. Nevermind, we have adapted quite well I think and George
hasn’t had any problems this year so it’s all good 
.
Over the year he has definitely developed his own personality and he has grown up so much! He is yet to start speaking, but he does say a number of words now and can sign sentences (although he doesn’t bother very often). We have had a National Trust membership for the last year so we’ve visited lots of different old houses and gardens giving George plenty of opportunity to run and play outside, and he seems to have loved every minute of it.
Here is a list of the key events in his second year.
