Did Someone Say Cake?

I love cake. Good cake. You know, double (or triple) layers of cream made of butter and sugar between dense moist, awesomeness. A year ago for Tucker’s first birthday, we had a pretty awesome cake. But Tucker didn’t get to eat a slice. He just wasn’t there yet with eating solid foods, he was only eating pureed food. We decided to freeze a big chunk, I couldn’t bare for this kid to miss out on eating his first birthday cake. It’s kind of a big deal. We were hoping at some point this year, he would get there with this milestone and we would celebrate with cake. You know how hard we’ve been working on his feeding. Therapy and home work to get his brain to tell his jaws to move together and enjoy food. He’s been working hard.

And so I can’t wait to tell you that today…this kid got his cake. It was all kinds of sweet. In all kinds of ways.

This was his cake. Awesome right?

This was his cake last year. Awesome right?

    […] 2014. As far as years in my life, it ranked pretty high. Tucker started eating, and singing, two of my personal favorite activities. We broke out of isolation once and for all […]

Who Is This Rookie?

I don't trust people who don't like sweets. Monica Gellar is my spirit animal. I work. I write. I mom. I pray. I wife. I eat. I go. First kid was born at 24 weeks and spent 151 days in the NICU-well that didn't go as planned. He fought and we cheered. I started writing during that time. Second kid was born on a Thursday night-her birthmom's hand in mine both of us crying happy tears. You'll find posts here about cheesecake, adoption, kindergarten shenanigans, hard stuff, Dolly Parton and whatever else I want. And you'll like it young lady. Thanks for reading. I always love adding to the team. Especially if you bring team snacks.
