The Birthday Cake

was a hit!  You know how some kids won't touch their cake?  That wasn't Claire!  She jumped right in with both hands.  When it was over and done with, I was surprised with how little mess there was...I think more of the cupcake made it IN her rather than ON her.


Claire has a thing for my camera strap, so this blurry, lunging baby is in a lot of my pictures.















We had a little drama near the end of the cupcake experience.  Claire managed to get about half the cupcake in her mouth at once, and she protested once we removed the huge bite...



I'm thinking that the fact it was past her bedtime could have contributed some!

    There is nothing more precious than that first birthday cake! I love how she left an icing handprint on her mouth! I remember my daughter's first cake...it was Barney. Purple icing everywhere. In her ears, up her nose, all over her body (we'd stripped her down to her diaper). So much fun!

    Great cake pictures!! Looks like she loved it! Russell was very uncertain about his cake, took him forever to even touch it!
