When's the cake coming Mommy?!
(Isn't he just THE handsomest one year old? ;) )
The long awaited cake.
[And this is a lovely cake, indeed. I am very proud of it. It's the very first birthday cake that I've made (or cupcake) that actually turned out fairly well. ALSO, more notably, the icing, which I made is NOT runny this time! Nathan's 2 year old birthday cake's icing firetruck was pretty much a firemush. It required a lot of imagination. In front of the adult guests, I said I thought it was just the muggy weather...but perhaps there was more to it.
Maybe in another 30 years I'll be a superb baker. Unfortunately, if it's genetic, the skills were not passed down to me. :( ]
I get a kick out of the unwrapping. You think this piece is small? I couldn't get the first two pieces on camera 'cause they were lost from sight between his chubby fingers. I eventually helped him out, spurred on by general impatience from the masses.
Why do my fingers get stuck inside these silly pieces?
And the traditional ride on birthday present from Guess-Who!! He loved the horn, and figured it out pretty quick. He can even drive it already--I think Nathan and Melanie both took a while to figure it out. He's had two kids to envy and watch cruising in the basement for ages...so that gave him a head start.
[He'd better be happy with his presents. After all he got double the presents that his siblings got at that age. Must be his conscience plagued mother wishing she could spend more time with him--and giving him a toy instead. ;)]
On a mawkish note:
I was doing my lunchtime devotions, and he was still up, and harassing me as much as possible. He gets a flipper from Melanie's kitchen set and pulls himself up into my lap (as close as he can anyways), starts to "comb" my hair, and looks for a reaction.
OF COURSE he got one.
