HAPPIEST FIRST BIRTHDAY, IAN!

Ian's Birthday Cake

This post has taken me the longest to write.I really don't know where to start or what to say.I want everything to be perfect when it comes to our Ian Vaava.I see myself stretching my limits to the maximum (I always thought I knew where that maximum limit of mine was,oh well!) when it comes to doing things for our baby.I am sure it's the same with almost all parents.

Ian's Birthday Cake

Can you believe that he's been with us for more than a year now? I still very clearly remember telling you about his arrival last July. I still remember the way he looked at me when I first laid my eyes on him.His eyes were wide open and he was looking straight into mine,lying down on my chest ...all bundled up.Our bundle of joy!He was and still is, the most wonderful smelling thakkudu kuttappan!

Ian's Birthday Cake

That little darling of ours just turned the BIG ONE last Monday,22 July.The party was not until Saturday,the 27th when all our close friends came together for a Picnik Birthday Party on an Island by the Mississippi. It was good fun. Ian had a lovely evening with his friends.I don't have any photographs from the party,our photographer will send them to us,shortly. Once we recieve it, I'll share some with you all!

Ian's Birthday Cake

I baked 2 cakes for him.The Mr.Bear cake inspired from Bakeaboo was for the big bash and the other one was for his little party at home.I wanted that cake to reflect what he is. So I jotted down all his current favourite words on top of the cake, so that,we will always remember what he liked and blabbered at that age.I wanted it to look as homemade as possible, so the decor was bare minimum. The dots you see around the edges of the cake was piped when he was on my hips, so the line has gone haywire! :-)

Your baby is so lucky to have you as his Mom ! Not because you can bake, but because of the thought you put into the whole thing and made it so special...These cakes are priceless and it will continue to be, even after years pass by and he grows up big enough to look back at these snaps and fall in love with you all over again ! Amazing !

Dear Ria,
I have been an ardent fan of yours for long. Happy birthday to cutie pie and may God bless him always. It definitely seems like only days back when you announced the arrival of the cutie pie, time surely flies.
Looking forward to many more lovely posts...
