My baby is one. One! I cannot believe how quickly his first year went by. Of course, with an older brother to catch up to, in his mind he hasn’t been a baby since oh, nine months or so. From walking at 10 months to climbing at 11 months, this little guy keeps me on my toes.

I managed to make some time in my schedule to take C out for a mini session. I had grand plans- a rocking horse in a field, followed by a quick “bath” in the bucket, complete with bubbles. C is a water baby- loves the bath, the sink, the wading pool, the ocean, you name it. Well, after dragging the bucket, water, and bubbles (and of course the horse!) across the field, he decided he HATED bathing outdoors. Wouldn’t even sit down for a moment. All I could do was laugh. This child has his own mind, no doubt about it.

Fortunately, we fared much better with his birthday cupcake, a Cake Couture delicacy. He couldn’t let a lick of the frosting go to waste!
