May 22nd was Cadel's first birthday. To celebrate Mom and Dad invited a bunch of their friends, and their kids, over to have a party. We know eventually we'll have to invite his friends to his birthday so we are taking advantage while we can.
Cadel had a great time. We thought all the people might bother him a little since he has been having bouts of shyness lately. But even with everyone staring at him, while we sang happy birthday, he seemed more concerned with the candle and cupcake in front of him than all the people. Cadel was very good and did not even attempt to grab the candle. Smart boy we have there.
After the singing and blowing out the candle (with the help of dad) it was cake time.
Cadel seemed a little unsure. He slowly reached out with a finger and touched the frosting. Then he dabbed at the frosting a little more and took some on his finger. Ever so cautiously he moved the frosting towards his mouth and tasted it.
At that point a switch went on. Cadel did away with any hesitation and just started taking handfuls of frosting and chowing down. Dad then split the cupcake in half for him and he started in on the actual cake instead of just the frosting.
Once he had eaten half of the cup cake Mom decided it was time to save cadel from himself and took away the other half. It was for the best because he was a ll fired up for the rest of the day.
There is so much more to say but we have a couple more posts for May 22, 2009 coming. Cadel wants to say thank you to everyone for making his first birthday fantastic.
