Maren turned one last Thursday and we celebrated with family on Sunday. I did a cupcake theme, complete with a cupcake shirt for Maren (and a tutu, because what one year old girl doesn't need a tutu for her first birthday party?), cupcake napkins and plates, and cupcakes to eat. I made the cupcake stand myself with cardboard, food cans, wrapping paper, and ribbon:
Martha Stewart would be proud. Maren enjoyed her party and unwrapping presents (with some help).
I had big expectations for Maren's first taste of cake and icing, but I'm afraid she might not end up being a sweets girl (gasp!).
She touched the cupcake, scooped up a bit of icing on her fingers, and slowly took a taste.
Then she started offering it to other people.
When it was all said and done I think the balloons tied to her highchair were a bigger hit than the cupcake. She started walking this weekend too, taking quite a few steps and even some turns. She was happy to show off this new skill at her party. I can't believe my baby is one. Happy birthday, sweet girl.
