carter likes cows..

...and other farm animals too. his first birthday party was farmed themed and if i know his mother, it was amazing. we had fun playing in the wide open, pretending to be farmers for the afternoon.

it's beyond me the experiences one has in the first year of life; growing at an unbelievable rate, scooting-crawling-standing-walking, getting teeth, forming language, learning what food tastes like, learning to trust, and there's that whole birth experience. it really is amazing we ever make it. i pretty much think after all that you deserve to get a whole cake to yourself, and yes if you want to smash it into your hair, more power to you.
