Smash Cake = Failure!

Thursday is Stian's first birthday (I know! Where did this year go?!). We'll be at my parents' house as it's Thanksgiving, so I wouldn't have time to make him a cake for the big day. I wanted to make him his first birthday cake, so I made it this weekend instead. I found a special recipe that didn't have eggs and was very low on sugar. Look how nice it looks:



Unfortunately, it was pretty much a failure. I didn't really think Stian would eat any of the cake as he still has texture issues and really prefers purees or Cheerios (perhaps I should have made a Cheerio cake?) but I thought he'd like the frosting. Not so much. He played in it for a minute, but didn't put any in his mouth, and then he seemed to be scared of the cake and wanted to get away from it. I got him to take a tiny taste of the frosting off my finger, but that was it. Ah well, I tried.

Fun Stuff

Here are a few pictures of Stian enjoying gifts and hand-me-downs from Laura, John, Anna-Sofia and Sunniva (the Finger-Peds).

First, the hand-me-down music table. He loves this thing. And is making one of his signature silly faces.



And then an early birthday gift - a subscription to Baby Bug. He loves this too.





We opened another early gift from the Finger-Peds this evening too - the book Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo, and man was it a hit at bedtime. Stian giggled through the whole thing.

So yay Finger-Peds! So far you're three for three! :)

Weeeeeeee!!!!!!

Pulling Up

Stian is pulling up on everything, and having lots of fun doing it too.
