One Year Baby Photography Raleigh – My Baby’s First Birthday Cake

I am a few months behind in posting. (Harrison turned one Christmas Morning, 2014) but I had to share the images of the beautiful cake Randi made him from Sugar Euphoria. Harrison was not that interested in eating cake for his birthday, which this cake was so delicious, Owen, Michael, and I were definitely okay with their being more for us to eat. This little one has FINALLY started walking..like this week. Both of my boys decided to wait until the very last minute to walk, not interested in hurrying up one bit, and content just to crawl forever. He would stand in one place for weeks, but was just not interested in going anywhere fast.

It’s going to be tough having a Christmas birthday every year. (If you haven’t read the story of his birthday, he was five weeks early, so yes, I cried all the way to the hospital Christmas Eve “He’s going to hate his birthday!” I also purposely did NOTHING the 23rd and 24th in order to ensure that he would not have a holiday birthday. HA…like I had any control over his birthday.) I did not even leave the house the 24th. I really don’t like to work on holidays, but I was sitting on the couch most of the day and Michael was out running the last holiday errands so I finished editing two of the last three sessions I needed to get done. (very thankful I did! very difficult to edit or really do anything when you have a newborn!) So, I did want his cake smash… (which he barely touched the cake so it wasn’t really a cake smash. You can see the very unhappy face, “Don’t make me eat this, Mommy!?” He doesn’t get that from me – ha! Owen and I definitely had a feast eating this cake.) I did want it to have a little bit of a Christmas feel. He is our Christmas baby..and next year, we’ll probably celebrate his birthday in July, but for this year, why not a sparkly cake in front of the tree. Oh, and when you have a big brother watching you not eat your cake, he has to jump in for at least one photo. Love these boys to pieces!
