Blake's First Birthday

Last week we took a trip to California to go to the Rose Parade and visit family. While we were there, Blake turned 1. It was a fun trip, highlighted by Blake's birthday party.

Here he is opening presents:


Here he is playing with a car from his nana, he loves cars.


Blake got to try cake for the first time, made just for him by his great-nana. Blake likes all food, but he loved his cake. Here he is, ready to dig in.


Starting to get into it:
By this point, he had established a technique. He would be shoving cake in with one hand, while loading the next hand in order to maximize the cake-eating potential:

And finally, this is the what we got from him when the cake was taken away:

I know everyone says this, but it is amazing how fast the year seems to have gone. Blake sure has come a long way, and we have loved watching him grow and progress. Happy Birthday Blake!

So fun! What a cutie pie. We are doing that tomorrow on Paige's birthday. I am pretty sure Blake will be in good company as far as cake goes. And thank you for making chocolate cake. Scott thinks I am weird for making a chocolate cake for her tomorrow...is there really any other way?
