It appears that the girls enjoy chocolate cake just as much as their mama does. These apples sure haven't fallen far from the tree. However--believe me--it's pretty safe in saying that me and my dark villain could never look anywhere near as cute as they with their 3 tiered Carnival Cake, that their great grandma made for them, smeared all over their faces.Oh, the sweetness of it all!
Then I was thinking. And, I remember this very clearly. As our oldest, Julia, was nearing her first birthday, I sort of shyed from the idea of allowing her to take part in the shove-birthday-cake-in-your-face-so-everyone-can-snap-pictures-and-chuckle-at-the-scrumptiousness-of-it-all ritual. I had cautiously monitored EVERYTHING she had eaten up to that point, carefully pureeing all her fruits and vegetables, withholding all the highly allergenic foods, and steering clear of non-nutritious items. How was I to let her indulge in such a nourishingly vacant substance? With all that said, she did, take part in the ritual of the 1st birthday cake consumption. And she's still a properly functioning child to this day. Thank goodness for that. So, Norah and Hazel--you're both in the clear! Look what you have to look forward to for next year.

That picture is too cute... I am still marveling at the idea of seeing 2 little ones that look so alike doing the same things at the same time. It's going to be so much fun!

That is great!
I very clearly remember doing the same thing with my first one...was I really going to let him shovel cake into his mouth after 12 months of milk and fruits and vegetables? In the end, I let him have it too.
And now, with my third baby nearing her first birthday--I'm looking forward to it! :)
I was actually excited about seeing my otherwise healthy eaters shove sugary cake into their mouths on their first birthdays. But then---NADA!! Neither of my boys would so much as touch their cakes, more or less eat them. Oh, what a disappointment:)
I sure enjoy seeing your one year olds enjoy themselves, though. And those WERE bibs on the girls. Wow, adorable. Did you make them? The bibs, not the girls. I know you made them.
Ahhh..the first birthday cake!!! :-)
Sweet pictures of your big ONE-YEAR old girls!! I look forward to more pictures!! :-)
Happy Birthday, Norah and Hazel - and Mom and Dad too! What a big day for EVERYONE!!!
