Arcadia’s first birthday

It’s hard to believe a whole year has passed since Arcadia was born. For Arcadia’s birthday, we celebrated with cake. Because Arcadia likes to eat everything put in front of her, I knew that I needed to make a healthy cake for her consumption. A while back I stumbled upon a recipe for a Harvest Cake with Goat Cheese frosting, so this is what I made for her. I split the recipe to make 12 mini-cupcakes and the remaining cake batter was baked in our 10-inch hexagon pan. The only changes to the recipe I made were using half whole wheat and half unbleached all-purpose flour and I substituted applesauce for the oil. As indicated in the comments on the recipe post, I too had trouble with the frosting not solidifying. Although, Tysen wasn’t a big fan of the taste of the icing, so maybe next time I’ll just make cream cheese frosting for the cake. The cake turned out yummy. Arcadia ate 2 mini-cupcakes at daycare and proceeded to eat more cake after dinner tonight. Here’s some shots of her enjoying the cake.

She found her feet!

I’ve been meaning to post this story/picture for a while now, but since I started back to work full time on Monday, I just haven’t had the time. So recently, Arcadia has been fascinated with her feet. It’s like she finally realized she had them and that they were hers. Now, she grabs them all the time, and like toys and her clothing, shoves them in her mouth. By grabbing her feet and pulling them to her face, she also helps relieve her gas. It’s pretty darn cute!

We know you’ve wanted to hear this!

Arcadia laughs at beatings!

Last night we might just have witnessed Arcadia’s first laugh. She observed me beating some eggs with a fork and giggled. We haven’t gotten her to repeat it, but it was very exciting!
