Today we celebrated Hunter's first birthday, yes it is a few days early but by the time Ellis gets home it is just to late for Hunter to be excited about anything other than food and sleep. It is times like these that I wish we lived closer to family but the show must go on!
I opted for a homemade cupcake rather than a sugar coated nicely decorated store bought cake. Quality control over ingredients is important now that Hunter is eating solid foods, we all enjoyed a healthier version of chocolate cake (added pumpkin to the cake mix instead of oil and eggs w/light cool whip frosting) . We are all eating healthier these days, which is not a bad thing but Ellis still refuses to give up his Mt Dew.
Hunter did not like the frosting on his fingers and kept wiping them in his hair but when he got to the cake, he was in heaven. I have never heard him eat so loudly or make so many noises in the process. When it came time to open presents Hunter quickly caught on that a nicely wrapped package equaled a delightful surprise, however, a bow and balloons would have suited him just fine, for that was all he was interested in after the gift was opened. None-the-less it was fun to see him enjoy all the wonderful family gifts he received and look forward to the ones that are still in the mail.
