The Cake!

One of my favorite things about first birthdays is watching them eat the cake.  After Hallee's photo shoot we decided we might as well let her eat the cake even though she would have another one at her party in a couple of days.  I'm so glad we did, it was so funny! At first she wasn't sure what to do.  She just started poking the cake.
She stuck her whole hand in and then started crying because she couldn't get the cake off her hands.
Finally she realized she should lick it off.  She also realized it tasted really good!
She kept trying to stick her face in the cake.  It was the funniest thing to watch.  Finally Keith just held the cake up for her so she could take a bite and that is all it took.  She ate the rest of the cake like this. I like how she is looking at us at first wondering if this is okay!
She ate a pretty big piece of the cake by taking bites out of it.  At one point I asked her if she was all done and she shook her head and took another bite. 
I love the messy smile.
The rest of the kids would go play and then come back and watch her, but Keith and I sat there and watched her for a good thirty minutes.  It was so fun.
She is our first one to bite the cake.  I caught her trying to eat her food like this the other day too.  I guess her hands just slow her down!
She was one messy girl when she was finished.  Frosting everywhere, including up her nose.  So fun!
