The proud parents sat with their baby girl, surrounded by friends and family, as they helped her dig into her birthday cake. However, Matthews joked on her Instagram Story that Sterling was "not a fan of the mess."

At the time, Mahomes and Matthews said they would be "taking a small detour to the wedding" as they prepared to become parents. Now, with their daughter turning one, the couple is gearing up to walk down the aisle.

Matthews threw a festive bridal shower in December, complete with themed drinks, a photo booth, and bridal-themed games for her guests. While she and Mahomes have not revealed their wedding date yet, they do plan on including their young daughter in their big day.
Mahomes told PEOPLE in July that he and Matthews want to feature Sterling as their flower girl.
"She'll be, I think, a little over a year old by the time the wedding happens ... so hopefully she'll be able to be the flower girl and be able to be walking by then and do all that cool stuff," he said.
Mahomes added, "But she'll be a part of the wedding no matter what."
