the birthday party

We all enjoyed watching Isaac eat his first piece of cake.  He definitely has a natural gift for cake eating :)  Just one of the many many ways he is a lot like his daddy! 

At this point he was busy enjoying the singing, unaware that the cake was on its way. 



But once I put a piece on his tray, he knew exactly what to do!


He is in a really photogenic stage and likes to smile for the camera (especially if I am behind it - he's definitely SUPER attached to me right now, and is generally not too happy with anyone else). 


The evening of his birthday we ate together with all of our visitors.  Katheryne cooked chicken and wild rice soup and it was so yummy.  I love wild rice.  Dessert was another favorite of mine - angel food cake - and it turns out Isaac is not picky when it comes to baked goodies, the angel food cake was a hit with him too!  It was fun to celebrate with our friends, and nice to have a part of the day "off" (no cooking dinner) - especially since I like to think that moms deserve an extra special pat on the back when they make it to baby's first birthday!

Isaac has such a sweet smile when he's smiling at you! Hope he outgrows the clingy stage before you get here - I'm looking forward to lots of hugs and kisses too! Like the new spring look of your blog.

So sweet! Happy Birthday Isaac! And yes, as a mother of a one year old +2 additional cuties, you deserve a night off!
Love,
