first sweet treat

biba was a bit on the slow side tolerating solid food - she would gag, vomit, flat out refuse anything other than pureed stage 2 baby food until 13 months. one morning at harris teeter she grabbed a sugar cookie out of my hand and scarfed down the entire thing without leaving a crumb. at that point i decided to put away the spoon and make her eat table food. she has turned out to be the best eater and enjoys salmon, steak, baked chicken, broccoli, ravioli, asparagus...whatever. i wish her big brother would jump on board the good eating train

anyhow - we decided not to do a cake for biba's first birthday. the thought of her choking or vomiting with 40+ sets of eyes on her did not seem fair or worth it. so on valentines day we gave her her first "smash" cupcake. there was no smashing involved - she gobbled that thing up so fast and hardly left a crumb...
