Cake

There is something glorious in reaching One.  The cake in particular is a moment you wait for.  A few months ago, we wondered if Maura would even be capable of eating cake on her birthday.  She wasn't even eating solids at Christmas time.  Lucky for us, she caught on.
 

I waited three whole years before Patrick would even touch a cupcake.  He was always a bit OCD about getting his fingers into the whole cake business, but by three, he decided that he really did indeed like the frosting if nothing more, and we relished in the fact that he actually, for the first time in three years, had cake on his face!

Maura is certainly ahead of the game here.  She loves her cake..and not just any cake, Alicia inspired me to make a Lemon Poppyseed cake for her!  Lemon Poppyseed!  Can you believe her mature tastes?

Yes, my girl likes to eat!  I'm glad we could share in her cake moment with her.
