Vote on Eliza's Birthday Cake

We were trying to decide what is most representative of Eliza as she hits her one year mark this next week. Miriam liked to play on the phone, and Henry loved to climb the stairs. Eliza is amazingly content to sit and watch life around her and hardly ever talks and does very little moving. Her siblings started walking on or before their birthdays, but she is no where close. Anyway, we've had a hard time deciding on how to decorate her first cake. Here are our ideas:

1. An eyeball cake, as most people will comment to us on her big, beautiful blue eyes and how she'll stare at them without cracking a smile or blinking.



2. A music note cake, as she likes to dance as evidenced in the video below [At the end of the dancing bit, there is a segment of her 'talking'. Can we say that her first word is Bye, Bye, even if she has no idea what it means?]





3. A book cake because she enjoys pulling every board book we have off of the little shelf.



Let us know what you think or if you have any other ideas.

I'd vote for a book cake. Mainly because an eyeball cake might freak everyone out. Or end up on cakewrecks.com.

I vote for the book cake but must admit that I am more than a little biased.

McKay votes for the freak-out one.
