Birthday Cone

Yesterday was Sophia's first birthday. To celebrate, we strapped her into her new big girl car seat, and headed to our favorite ice cream shop in Stillwater-- Nelson's. We ordered the child size Butter Brickle on a sugar cone, which was WAY more than all three of us could eat (4 scoops higher than the cone)! We had to put three scoops in a cup so the cone was more manageable.


Let me tell you- SOPHIA. LOVED. EVERY. LICK. She dove at the cone with her mouth, and sucked the scoop til it was nothing but a puddle.

First licks

Starting to get into it

Dada, this is COLD!

Gimme some more!
She did not take her eyes off the cone once.

I stole a lick, and Sophia's look said "Mama! How could you!?"

Then she kissed me as if to say sorry.

But she did take matters into her own hands after that.

And nooked on that cone till it was gone.
