Emma Bunton checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (September 2). The former Spice Girl writes:

I can’t believe it’s September already! August is ‘Birthday Month’ for me, with no less than five very important birthdays in the month, one of which belonged to our darling Beau who celebrated his very first birthday on the 10th. Luckily the weather was fair so we were able to organize a tea party for him in the garden at home, all our family and friends came which helped to make it was such a memorable occasion. Beau loved it and took the whole day in his stride, especially when we all gathered round to sing happy birthday, his face was a picture! A huge thank you to so many of you for wishing him a Happy First Birthday, it was very sweet to receive so many of your cards and kind messages.

Emma Bunton spoke with CosmoGIRL in a Q&A, where the Spice Girl was asked if the British group’s nicknames still reflect each of the five members. “I’m 31 and still a baby – but I am a big kid at heart,” Baby Spice responded. “I don’t think Scary is as scary as we think anymore, but we all still have elements of our names, especially when we sing Spice Girls songs! And if I could give my son a Spice name, I would call him Smiley Spice, because he smiles all the time and he’s always giggling!”

As for how the girls have kept their friendship strong during their ten years apart as a group, Emma said, “We’ve really supported each other the whole time – through solo careers and children. Plus, we’re always ready to be there for one another at the other end of the phone. I think the way to keep a friendship is to respect that everybody is different.”
