Since Carolina is my last baby, I’ve decided that I’m going to allow myself to take all of the cliche and cheesy photos of her that I want. Period. The end.

Two months after her first birthday (because let’s face it, I’m always behind), my soon-to-be-sister-in-law baked the most gorgeous cake, we put together a darling outfit, and I ordered a gold, lace crown from Etsy for the occasion. She looked adorable, she looked fashionable, she looked like she had crawled straight out of Pinterest….until I pulled out the camera and gave her the cake. She wouldn’t have any part of it…and that’s ok.
