Eating Cake...and then...

I made Carter his own cake. He loved it! We stripped him down and he dove right in without hesitation!
Mouth Fulls after Mouth Fulls...

And stupid mommy just kept letting him eat and eat...it was his birthday I couldn't take it away from him...


Perhaps we are feeling a little queasy by now....maybe we should have stopped a few bites ago! Carter ate a lot of the cake...and being the wonderful mother that I am...I let him! After the party died down and came to an end we gave our birthday boy a nice bath and got him all cleaned up. We put him to bed and retired to our bed to rest from the big birthday bash. At 12:30 AM I woke up to a crying baby, not an unusual event by the way. I went in to get him, picked him up ready to give him a nice hug and kiss and low and behold he was covered in throw up!!! Every single ounce of his cake was all over him, his bed, his blankets...everywhere! I should have known not to let a one year old eat a cake...(rookie mistake)...We once again threw him in the bath and changed all the sheets. He was happy as could be, with a confused look on his face wondering how he had been from fast asleep in his crib to playing in the bathtub in the middle of the night! All I have to say is Lesson learned.

I was going to ask you if Carter was o.k. after his cake festivities. I was thinking I was a mean mom for wanting to give Brylie just a cup cake. Now I know. Brylie gets tummy aches from too much sugar so now its confirmed that she will only get a cup cake. At least it was only one time!

Shanny! Oh goodness. That sounds awful. Poor little boy. My mom said that his party was fun. I would have loved to be there. I love 1st birthday parties. I wouldn't have been much help because I would have let him keep eating too - so even 4 times mom's throw caution to the wind! Love, Allyson
