We decided to save Evan's traditional 1st birthday cake and party until Abby is back from Culver. Poor Big Sister was completely broken hearted about missing all the festivities and since Evan doesn't even know what is going on, we decided that waiting wouldn't hurt anything.
So instead of cake, we gave Evan watermelon. The biggest piece a one-year-old has ever eaten. He LOVED it and devoured the whole thing, including a couple nice bites of the rind. His shirt and shorts were soaking wet, and he had juice running off his chin, arms, fingers, cheeks and nose. He was sticky, sticky, sticky and sad when I finally ripped it out of his hands and he had to go straight to the tub to get cleaned up.
If this is any indication of what he'll do with the cake, we've have a great party next month.
Oh my goodness! He is so adorable!
