Babies' first birthday

We held the babies' birthday party while we were on vacation in Cape Cod with the family. It was also Mia's birthday later that week, so we got to celebrate with her as well.
We opened presents then dug into the cake (literally). I had a local bakery make a cake for each baby and one for Mia that the rest of us shared.
Kadence immediately began thrusting her hands into the cake and grinding it up in her fingers.
After she got a taste of the cake, she grabbed the whole top layer and pulled it into her body (probably trying to get it to her mouth) and smashed it to pieces.
I'm not sure if she had more fun mangling the cake, or eating it.
Austin, on the other hand, didn't have much interest in the cake. He was a little tired and cranky.
Good thing we got an extra cake for us, because Kadence wasn't going to have anything left to share. Not any that anyone would want.
What we didn't realize was that Austin was just waiting for the proper tools to eat his cake. Once he got a spoon, he was fine and dug right in.
David has been telling people how Kadence didn't leave anything on the cake board except little tiny finger streaks where she scrapped it clean. I thought he was exaggerating until I went back through the pictures and found the finger streaks.
Austin got into the action with his spoon.
All done!
Now to rub it into the back of his hair.
Happy Birthday Austin!
Happy Birthday Kadence!
