The first time I met Jude was when I flew to California to help my best friend Roxy move to North Carolina! He was just a few months old and as precious as could be. So, the 3 of us and her 2 year old daughter, Charlotte, boarded a plane and headed to NC! (Her hubby was driving the moving truck!) I must say the kids did amazing on the long flight and pretty much slept the whole time and I was thrilled to finally have one of my best friends living close by.
How adorable is the little black bear and 'one' banner?
That year flew by, both of us moving into new homes, and the craziness of the school year and sports.. before I knew it, it was time to take his one year pictures! Roxy decided on a color scheme and theme and we made her vision come to life! Jude wasn't in the best mood this particular day but you'd never know it from the adorable moments I was able to capture of him! He is seriously one of the happiest babies I've ever met, so for him to be less than excited about his cake smash was completely out of character for him. We chalked it up to that age where he didn't want mom out of his sight and a new found fear of my 9 pound Maltipoo, but none the less, we got some great pictures!
Could you not just eat him up?
Silly boy kept trying to crawl away! Look at the corner of that 'E'.. he may have been trying to eat it!? Time to get the cake!
Outfit change! This is when he got his first taste of the icing!
Using this wood block as a cake stand was perfect for a rustic theme birthday!
Jude was happier now that the cake was easier to reach and I can't stop swooning over those tooties toes!
Now he's getting the hang of it!
I mean.. why use your hands?
Seriously though, isn't he just the cutest little chunk you've ever seen?! All the heart eyes for this boy!
