Cake Smash

Today I took Colin to have birthday pictures taken. I had to postpone it once due to his respitory infection. I bought a bright red cake for the cake smashing and got balloons. Hurried through my morning to get him out to the photographer's by noon. And he bawled the whole time.

Every time I tried to put him down and get out of the way of the camera Colin sobbed. The most pitiful, heartbroken cries. He never cries like that. I don't know what was going on. My suspicion was that he didn't get a proper nap, only 20 minutes in the car. I had told his daycare he was leaving early for pictures but they didn't put him down until 5 minutes before I picked him up.

So after dinner tonight we held our own photo shoot. Since I already had the cake.

After this he crawling into my lap, spreading red icing all over the uncovered part of the floor and me. It took a rinse off and two tubs of water to clean him up. Still wish we would have gotten these pictures at the photographer's. They would have turned out 2x better. But they are still good memories.
