Just rifling through the 1,000 photos we’ve gathered from H’s birthday bash and I came across this one. I hadn’t noticed it til now, but I love everything about it. The babe, the cake, the babe covered in cake. His sweet little hands smooshing extra bits of sugary goodness all over his face. The hand of a little friend, reaching in for a taste:

This is what 1st birthday parties are made of. Well, this and a whole bunch of other stuff. Stuff forthcoming…

so glad i wasn’t in charge of the bath that day (thanks, mom!),
