Hiromi - Birthday #1

.
Even though she'd never had cake before her first birthday, Hiromi seemed to instinctively know what it was and what she needed to do. As we approached her high chair with her cake, her in her little yellow birthday dress, she began to whine and jostle about, waving her hands in the direction of said cake. We didn't even get the chance to set it down on the tray before she grabbed it in the air and began loudly slurping the strawberry frosting off her chubby fingers. In the end, we had to actually take the cake away from her because she was not going to stop eating it. We figured she'd get full and stop on her own like her older sister did with her first birthday cake. But no, not my li'l Hiromi! There was much protesting from her when the cake went bye-bye, but then she discovered that she was smuggling a quarter of the thing on her forearms and began nibbling on them! What can I say, she's mommy's baby!
