Candor turns one

Candor turns one on the first! Our littlest one’s first year was the swiftest, sweetest babyhood. We can’t believe he’s already one. We celebrated him with a golden birthday cake smash, complete with lots of gold balloons, a golden yellow knit crown, golden yellow striped shirt, and gold-accented cake. His curiosity led him to dunk his hands into his cake and taste frosting as we sang him rounds of "Happy Birthday" with the big kids accompanying on piano. The three big kids made cards yesterday to commemorate our boy-boy. We spent the day at the Huntington Library with friends, enjoying the spring weather and the gardens' creatures and flora. We didn't end up having a first birthday party for Candor's first birthday, but he was a happy babe regardless, being in the presence of his family, being cuddled all day, and snacking on his favorite foods. He tried fresh chicken dumplings and bok choy for the first time for his birthday dinner, which he loved. Alex captured some videos of his sweet and simple day. We adore our CanCan so. So thankful for the light he is to our family!

P.S. the other kids' first birthday cake smashes: Verity, Reverie, Valor, Serene.
