Gray's first cupcake

 After Grayson's one year check-up, we took him to Crave to pick up his first cupcake.  We went with a classic flavor combo - vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting. 

 Our sweet boy's face was a little flushed from the 5 shots that he had just received and the crying that ensued from said shots.  By the time we go to Crave though, he was in a much better mood.  Daddy had to go back to the lab, so we decided to save our cupcakes until after dinner.  (And spare Crave the mess of a one year old eating a cupcake!)

 We decided that we'd just start out with 1/4 of the cupcake to see how he did before offering him anymore.  It was also bedtime, and I wasn't too keen on the sugar high right before bed. 

He was not.interested.  Didn't poke at it, didn't want to open his mouth, and didn't want to try it.  I finally smeared a little icing on his lips, hoping that he would come around.

 We decided to let P have a go at it.  He took some of the cake part and shoved it in Gray's mouth.

 He finally started playing with the frosting...

 And then smeared it all over the side of the high chair and tray.  

 Not impressed.

We weren't able to get much of the cupcake in his mouth, but we decided that it was just too late to be trying.  We figured that since it was about bedtime and he had gotten so many shots, he was probably just exhausted.  Surely he would enjoy his smash cake at his party more...right?!...
