That is sooo cute. If I had new jammies, new toys and chocolate cake…well I might be overwhelmed too. Looks as if your other little sweety is getting so big. Blessing on this very special day.

First thought… Happy Birthday Merritt!
Second thought, immediately after seeing the 2nd photo… OH NO!!!!! I can't believe I totally forgot the BIRTHDAY HATS at Austin's 1st b-day party yesterday!!!! UGH! I *knew* I forgot something!!! I also LOST the "1" candle but found an "8" in our junk drawer (from hubbys bday 2 yrs ago!), and cut it to form a sad little short, curved "1".
…It had character…
This was only part of the whole cake fiasco we had.
BUT… about your sweet little "Bubbie"… the pics are SO cute, and cute cake & cute video– aww I love 1st bdays too! Who can even handle such a cute little chocolate covered face!?!? LOVE it! Can you believe our boys are one?
