How did we get here? I swear yesterday I was holding a brand new baby in the hospital trying to stay awake so I could catch his every second of life. He got the hiccups shortly after birth and they were the sweetest..he had been having them 3 times a day in my belly for weeks.
Looking back at pictures of the first few minutes, hours, days, weeks, and then months– is hard for a Momma. You want your babies to go and experience the world, but each time they accomplish something new it’s very bittersweet. I know in the blink of an eye I will be looking back at pictures over the years, which seems impossible to accept right now.
I will say that planning his birthday party and cake smash were fun. Even if I wasn’t excited that at the end I would have a one year old TODDLER. Although, he will always be my baby.
As I was trying to get Eli to sit still so I could get a few pictures of him before he tore into his cake with his cute little banner I made– he thought the purpose was to crawl away as fast as he could. After about 10 minutes I saw the twizzlers left over from his party and presented him with his first ever. Clearly he was excited to get it!
And then I thought I could take it away really quick because I didn’t really want him eating it anyways.. and my big idea was to hold it above the camera and he’d smile and be his cute little self.. Wrong!
I will treasure that picture forEVER. love love love.
Now..on to the best part..the cake smash!!
Love these pictures, especially the last one!! So sweet!
