He's crawling, standing, cruising, eating everything, says "mamamamamama" to me, says "at" to the cats. Not walking quite yet!

Happy first birthday to your LO thechickencoop! He is so adorable- great pics!! ETA - is that pizza he’s eating? I love the enthusiasm 💕. Also, if those are Dairy Queen ice cream cakes - go you. I friggin love those. Yea he's going to town on pizza! He loves it. The ice cream cake is from a local ice creamery and ooooooh it was gooood. Man I wish my kid would eat pizza. As it is, I can now get him to eat textures foods if they're from a spoon. If I try to feed them to him directly in his mouth he spits them out.

Taitai, Except for piglet and part of Pooh which my sister made, I made all the friends. I love it, I wish I could make stuff for a living....I kinda sorta do ( I am a package designer ) but I much rather work with my hands. Maybe when the kiddos are older I can have a studio in the basement and get back to making art. Dreams... You should follow your dreams, once you are able to! You are very talented, and I know whatever you created would be awesome. Have you ever done pottery? I bet you’d be good at that too.

Taitai, I have not done pottery but yes I am sure I would enjoy it especially since it serves a function. I am just way too pragmatic to fully indulge as an artist and it's something I struggle with. Until then, I will just make tasty treats and birthday cakes for the kids and make their costumes.

Dropping by to wish all the O17 babies a Happy First Birthday! We had a joint birthday party for DS and DD last weekend. So even though he won't be one until the 14th, he's already had a taste of cake! Hope you all are doing well! ❤
poof!

I was going to say something about Molly’s, but then I saw your comment about Costco, so I was like - nevermind! Now I’m going to be day dreaming about Molly’s cookie dough cupcakes the rest of today! Do you miss them as much as I do?

M's bday isn't for a few more weeks but is it totally crazy to spend $350 on 1st bday/cake smash photos? my wallet is telling me yes it's crazy, but we didn't do any professional photos for her when she was born. I'm torn.

I'm torn. That’s roughly what we spent for DS smash photos. It included the cake and all the digital rights. So I could post them on social media or order prints or put them in a book or whatnot

I'm torn. I wouldn't pay that for just birthday/cake smash photos, but I personally don't really get cake smashes. I'd def pay that for a family photo session though! Like if you can do the cake smash, birthday photos of M, and ALSO family shots.

I'm having a hard time making a birthday cake. All the recipes I find are turning out poorly, and quite frankly it making me mad. I'm probably just going to throw in the healthy cake towel and just make an old standby. I don't want to pump her full of sugar, but it's one day and it's not like shes gonna eat the whole thing.

Everything worked out in the end. We were able to get the cake early and I don’t know why I thought it cost that much it was a little over a hundred bucks. Aaaanyway now we have 2 cakes 🤷♀️ The one in the pic is her smash cake and then there was a matching big person cake which thankfully people took big chunks of home after the party. She wasn’t a fan of the cake and she’s been so overstimulated she won’t nap but other than that the party was good! She got some clothes which was nice because she has a lot of boy hand me downs otherwise. Any other parties happening/happened today?

My little weirdo didn’t even like the cake; she took one taste and then proceeded to mash it and sling it around. Definitely not my genes. 😆 Hopefully you come up with something! I’m impressed you’re making one!

For the cake itself I won’t go healthy but I’m going to make sure the icing isn’t super sugary to make myself feel better about it.

But I would definitely check. If we end up having a small party for m then I'm probably just going to make cupcakes or something

Everyone spends money differently but i wouldn’t ever consider spending $350 on cake smash pictures ]I wonder if a photographer would ever come to you first bday party and snap good candids and take pictures as everyone’s singing and of the baby eating their cake. Almost mini mini mini wedding like. That would be worth it to me. To get those good shots w family too.
