First Birthday....

So since I didn't start blogging until just recently, you probably haven't seen any pictures of little dude's first birthday.

Here's the cake:

Yes it's a block, with his name on it, one letter on each side. My sister-in-law made it. Didn't she do an amazing job?!!!

And since one year olds don't know how to blow out candles...
here's the mommy coming in to help.

Please notice the face of my son... he is not quite sure what in the world this thing is infront of him. And it took us a few tries, getting him to taste it, and then putting his hands in it before we got this:

Do you see the love on this child's face? It's like he's saying "oh thank you so much for introducing me to this lovely tasting thing. It has changed my life." He's a boy after his momma's heart.

Yes we even got:

There are lots of pictures of my kid feeding his face, but I'll spare you the drama and show you the end result:

It was all over by the way!!! On him, the chair, the table, the floor, the wall behind him... on momma...

Even after we took it away...

Yes it was priceless. None of it posed... or planned, just pure joy of eating cake...

Let's just say we promptly gave him a bath after words...
