This weekend we had a pre-party for Lexi’s birthday with my family.  My mom made cupcakes – they were really good.  Lexi really enjoyed them.

We put the cake in front of her and she literally lowered her face INTO the cupcake to ensure that she ate as much icing as possible.  Ed also had a cupcake and he touched the cupcake with his finger first – tasted it with some skepticisim and then he looked at every women in the room to get a sense of approval on if he was allowed to do what Lexi was doing.  Lexi seeks no approval – Lexi dives into the cupcake.

This is when she discovered she could pick it up.  That was a huge moment for her.

And then she found that she could break off pieces (that were too big on Mommy standards) and shove those big pieces directly into her mouth.  Yummm

Then she wanted to share with Grandma.

This girl loves cupcake.  She likes to eat, she likes to give herself icing facials, she likes to wear cupcake and she likes to rub it in like lotion and she even enjoys post cupcake bath.

I had to zoom in here because the cake – it was everywhere – in her hair, ears, all over her arms and on her back by her diaper where she was trying to hide it for later.  Sneaky little doodle bug.
