Colby’s first birthday was very similar to Finn’s first. We invited my family and all of the babysitters to join us. Yes, I said all. Babysitters here are cheap and we know them pretty well, since Alan teaches them!
We started with a Korean tradition where items are chosen and put out for the baby to see. Each item represents a career the baby will grow up to take on. Colby went towards them, touched a few, then started crying! Hahha! Eventually he chose a notepad which stood for writer. Alan was very proud! (If you remember…Finn chose a banana- not sure what that means).
Afterwards he ate his first cake. He loved his zebra cake, and mommy loved making it. Alan has been giving me some pointers ;)
Colby got lots of presents (although I think he would have been content with the wrapping paper and boxes) and after everyone left he almost fell asleep in his highchair. What a big day for all!
Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Colby!
gladly, beyond 
You have beautiful boys!
Sure hate missing Colby’s 1st birthday! But it looks like it was a hit:) Great job on the zebra cake, Amanda. 🦓 👍🏻 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COLBY JACK! MiMi and Big Daddy will see you soon, bearing belated birthday presents! 😘❤️
Sounds like a busy season! Happy birthday to both your sweet boys and I think the cakes both look amazing!!!
HBD, Colby Jack & Finn the Eskimo!
Outstanding work on both Ungulate cakes, although I’ll give Amanda the crown in this year’s B’day cake wars – the Zebra was more appropriate for an odd year Birthday, as the Llama isn’t a Perissodactyl.
