So what's a first birthday without cake? We made Titus a small cake just for him and put all kinds of yummy frosting on it (homemade from bananas as to not sugar shock him) and let him have at it. Here the cake is served and Titus is very interested (as is Jones).

Cake is served.

Once the cake was placed before him, we knew ANYTHING could happen. Here we can see Titus pondering how to attack the bountiful birthday baked-good.

Mmmm

The result... actually kinda boring. Titus pulled off the Cheerios one by one, placing them neatly on the side of the plate. He tasted the frosting and SUCCESS, he likes it!

Happy B-day

Although we didn't grab fist-fulls of cake, we did try several small bites and the cake maintained our interest for well over 15 minutes. Here we are applauding the birthday chef, Mommy!

Yay!

After Titus felt he had sufficiently displayed the proper birthday pleasantries, he decided it was time to get down to business. Which for him was plopping the whole cake in his lap! Here we were able to pinch off bites for ourself AND share with our bestest buddy Jones.

After we were finished eating and playing with our cake, Mommy and Daddy quickly realized that it was time for a bath. We also discovered that homemade banana frosting is the stickiest substance known to man. Move over Gorilla Glue, you ain't got nothing on this. We soaked and scrubbed and splashed for quite a while and snapped this lovely gem of Titus staring his Mommy down, presumably wondering why she wasn't in the tub with him and Daddy.

Bathtime

All in all we had a great birthday. Thanks to everyone who called to wish us a happy day and for singing to us. Look for more pictures of birthday fun after our big party on Saturday!

That is TOO CUTE. So great that you shared with us. I love the 'one-finger' probe. Titus is a real gentleman, with the proper manners and class to match. I am sure the "lap" accident was just that, an accident. The cake sounds yummy, wish I could have tasted a pinch.

I went to the office today and showed everyone how we celebrate important dates across the miles. Everyone raved about how cute Titus is. The bathtub scene simply melted their hearts. That face is so beautiful. I think it also helped them to realize just how blessed they are to have grandchildren living close by.
All my love,
