A babies first birthday.  I just passed this milestone for the 4th time with our youngest and I have such mixed feelings about this bittersweet time.  The first birthday underscores for me the fact that they are not a baby any more.  Have I mentioned that I LOVE babies???  When their first birthday comes around I always have a hard time accepting that my baby is gone and a beautiful spunky toddler has taken their place.  I absolutely love watching them learn new things, communicating and watching them explore their world on their own but I still ache for my baby, the one that I see on my phone screen that I saved there only 6 months ago.  The first year of life goes by so fast and they change so much!

This little darling was no different.  Full of adorable spunk and smiles!!!  Her mama did an amazing job styling this first birthday cake smash.  All the way from the balloons, custom cake, handmade cake topper, tutu outfit and bubbles.  It all worked beautifully together and she made my job so easy!

Happy first birthday sweet girl!!!

A curly little wisp of babyhood is tucked behind her ear.  I couldn’t help but capture it <3
