A Birthday Post, for Liza

Well, Liza, here is your prize for winning my birthday quiz, per your request. I know that you had asked for a birthday "story," and this is more pictures than story, but I still can't really write. Sorry. So, instead, I've resurrected an old birthday post that I posted last January. Even if I could write, though, I probably would have still done this, because it is, without question, the best birthday party I've ever been to.



Here are some pictures of Child 1's first birthday party. I don't usually show pictures of my kids but I figured since these were taken 8 years ago and he doesn't look like this anymore, it should be okay. I did, however (obviously) Photoshop fix the writing that was on the cake, because it had a frosto.

This was obviously before the major food/sensory issues that he still has today; I cannot imagine him ever again getting this messy with food.

The cake. Since this was birthday #1, it was a carrot cake, made with only organic, all natural ingredients. *snicker* He had never had anything like it before, as you will soon see.

"Do you like my hat?" "No, I do not like this party hat."

"What is this substance you have given me? It is red and sticky. I am dubious."

"HOLY SHIT. THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER INVENTED. DON'T STOP ME, I'M GOIN' IN!"

"I approve of your food choices, Mother. Oh, yes. I do approve."

That picture of him face-planted into the cake is AMAZING.

I don't know why. . . maybe it was a sensory thing. . . maybe not, but I don't recall Lily diving into the smoosh cake. Emma did, for sure.
Thanks Jill! I loved the Birthday post :) I appreciate you sharing those pictures - they are beautiful!

Love this! The captions made me laugh out loud. Plus, Grace has something to do for the rest of the day (instead of "helping" me do dishes. She is singing "happy birthday, dear baby" to your pictures. =)

Love the face plant. My oldest barely touched his 1st birthday cake. Now we know it was a sensory thing.
