A child's life is full of milestones, and parents want to make sure they celebrate all of their baby's "firsts."  Last week, I was lucky enough to watch my godson's first haircut and first birthday cake...all in preparation for his first birthday party.

To make sure Jordan looked fresh for the hundreds of pictures we were about to take, he needed to get a new look and get his first haircut!  He sat very sweetly in his red car, squirming only a little when the stylist's scissors tickled his ears.  There weren't even any tears shed (unless you count the time when his mom cried because her baby was growing up....but shhh we won't talk about that!).

Here's what he looked like before with his baby curls....

during...

and after...   Isn't he a handsome little boy?

Later that day, now that his makeover was done and he had transformed from a baby to a little boy in one afternoon, Jordan had a cake smash.   Whenever you put a cake in front of child, it's always an unpredictable event.  In this case, Jordan didn't really want to eat the cake (even after I fed his mom and dad with a little cake to show him how tasty it was).  Maybe it wasn't his favorite flavor.  Maybe he was in the mood for milk instead.  In any case, Jordan just sat on the cake.  But hey, this is called a "cake smash" anyway, right?  And smash this cake, he did.
