So Vivi doesn’t really like cake. Or balloons.
But she ate enough Mexican food at lunch to convince me that she is in fact my daughter.
She had a wonderfully simple birthday.
Her friends sang her Happy Birthday, something Addie has always hated.
Vivi seemed pretty thrilled with the whole idea.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes. One day I’ll be able share with her how many people have loved her since before she was even born.
Cake from 111 Cakery, inspired by Sweetapolita. White dress from Target, floral jumper from Paulina Quintana via Zulily.

I love the smooshing of the cake. She looked like she enjoyed doing that! Glad she had a great birthday. And yet another reminder that your two girls are both part of you, both beautiful in their ways, and yet so different.

Her feet in these pictures are just about the sweetest things I’ve ever seen. What a doll.

I understand I’m not a fan of cake myself, but balloons. Balloons I love. My family always buys me balloons for my birthday!

Your floors are so clean! I almost don’t trust you now. Nobody has floors that shiny. Great, great pics! And even if she didn’t love the cake, she was still a beautiful model. Obviously she had her priorities straight.

Here after reading your post over at Babble in the Dadding section. Sweet. The cake. The kids. The fun.
I have a lovely picture of my oldest daughter, now 14, on her first birthday or thereabouts tearing into a bowl of spaghetti. Sauce everywhere. It is still one of my favorite pictures ever . . .

I remember when Vivi was the most awaited arrival on the internet, way before FB stock, or the final Harry Potter movie.
How did she get to be a year old? Even though we have watched her grow on your blog… how did this happen?
And really Casey, you and Cody make the most beautiful girls I’ve seen (next to mine, of course, but mine are teenagers and their attitudes are cute anymore).

I don’t think we’ll be doing this at my nephew’s first birthday unless we do it outside
It’s all beautiful though of course! Happy Birthday, Vivi!

I believe that forever and always Vivi’s little curled toes will be my favorite curled toes. They just curl all the way through her feet.
