"Love it now, because she will grow up so fast!" After hearing this from countless friends, family, and complete strangers we still did not understand how fast she would grow up. Our baby is one, and she is thriving. This year has been a complete whirlwind and joy. We have absolutely loved watching Naomi grow and develop. She is a fun, energetic, smart baby with plenty of personality. Noni always says that she got in the personality line twice. She has brought joy to countless people, especially her Papa, Noni, and Auntie M.
We had a fun party for her and I was really excited for the smash cake. It totally backfired. This requires an explanation. When Naomi started eating solid foods we taught her to wipe her hands clean when she was done. Apparently, this created a child that hates having anything on her hands. Needless to say, she had no interest in touching the cake. We had to put her hands on the cake and she would promptly wipe them on her shirt.
A few days after her birthday party, we had her one year pictures taken. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Naomi's photographer, April Bladh. Naomi loves her and in a little over half and hour we finished Naomi's photo shoot. Here are some of our favorites.

Beautiful pictures! Our kids have done the same thing with their one-year-old cakes. We have let them poke at it for a while and then we break a piece off and put it in their mouth. Once they get a taste of it, they usually get going a little better. Looks like she had a happy birthday. :-)
Also, it's funny that my word verification on a post about eating cake with your hands is "urfork."
Ellie- I'm glad to know Naomi is not alone. She really had no idea what to do. There is always next year!
