Half of them cry. The rest are just bewildered about all the attention and suspicious of anything being suggested to them with so much spectacle :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-flavor-was-your-los-first-birthday-cake#post-2041032 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 16:53:05 +0000 Espion 2041032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was lemon and he was soooo not interested!
