Onto party business. I've had so many great ideas for her 1st party, a lot of which I have put into place and a lot that I haven't. For some reason I always tend to forget that we don't have a lot of family or, ahem, friends. Which pretty much always equals not the most happening party. After I did the invitations (which in itself was a big disappointment for me) I realized we're only going to have approximately 10-12 people coming. So I kind of had to let some of my ideas go because it just seems crazy to go overboard for such a small group. Plus, a lot of the things I was thinking of were kid related and there is only 1 child coming. Ugh. I just have to remind myself that as she gets older she will make more friends therefore she will have a much more fun party. So I can put all of my party planning ideas into action! And I have A LOT of them!
Back to the invitations. I started planning her party about 2 months ahead. Just jotting down ideas, themes, food, etc. Some how, I let the invitations go and here it was 3 1/2 weeks before the party and I still hadn't picked any out let alone sent them out. SO I ended up going with some cheapy kind from the party store. They said 1st Birthday on them and everything but I really wanted to do something personalized with a picture of our future one year old on them. Oh well, Im going to make it up with some other "custom" ideas I have. Also I have to keep reminding myself that this is just the 1st of many parties I'll be planning for our little sweetie pie.
Ok, I've vented enough for now.
I'll leave you with some random pics from the past week...
a morning at the park
I'm pretty sure she's not suppose to be playing with that
there is nothing cuter than a baby girl in a pretty pink ruffle butt bathing suit
hanging out in the backyard
back at the park, testing out her shoes
sharing a waffle with mommy
back in backyard
she'll last about 2.5 minutes in the pool until she's onto something else
