Lolo's Sweet Shop First Birthday Party!

For Lolo's first birthday I decided to do a sweet shop theme.  The color scheme was turquoise, pink, and yellow.  I thought it turned out so cute.  I was in luck, because Hobby Lobby had all of their Christmas decorations out and on sale.  They had the cutest candy Christmas decor out and I was able to use a lot of it for the party.  Then come December, when we are finally in our new house, I will decorate Lo's room for Christmas with it! 

The details...

  

I bought the banner, paper good, invites, and her outfit and accessories off etsy.  Every single person that I bought from had excellent customer service.  So thankful! 

I wanted to do most of the party outside, but of course the weather didn't cooperate, however, the decorations still turned out great!  We had most of our close family and friends there too, to celebrate our sweet girl's first year!  And the weather...ironically was exactly like it was the day I had her, cold and rainy.

The cake was done by a girl I went to highschool with.  You should check her out, she does GREAT work!  It was delicious and so cute!  It turned out exactly like I wanted.  She was pretty delicate with her cake.  Didn't "smash" it like I thought she would.  She was more interested in putting it in her toes.

 

It was the perfect celebration for the most perfect little girl.  What a wonderful year!  We are so so blessed!

And we can't forget sweet Macy, she's going to be 14 in one short month! 

Every party has a pooper...that's why we invited you...party pooper ;)

Lolo Bear - One Year, 12 Months!

Lolo,

My oh my, has the time flown by!  You are ONE!  I can't believe it!  Seems like just yesterday, I was writing your birth story.  What an amazing year it has been.  The amount of joy you bring to your daddy and I's life is just incredible.  You continue to be the sweetest, cuddliest, most content and happy baby.  We are so blessed!

This past month your little personality has just blossumed.  It seems like you are learning new things every single day.  You have started pulling up and cruising.  You look like such a big girl doing this too!  You love to play and are very content playing with all your toys.  You also love to play outside with your new toy that your daddy bought you.  You are one brave girl when it comes to sliding down the slide.

You are talking more and more!  You say, "Hi, Bye, Dada, Mama, Nana, Minnie Mouse, No-No, & all done."  The way you say minnie mouse is just so cute!  We try to get you to say it all the time.

You are a good little eater!  You love blueberries and cheese.  You also like bananas, strawberries, mac-n-cheese, broccoli, and avocado.

You finally transitioned from your swing to your pack-n-play for naps.  It was much less painful than I anticipated.  I think because you were finally ready for some more room :)

You went camping for the first time, in a cabin, but still!  You had so much fun playing outside and in the water.

You got your two top teeth and then got a third top tooth this month.  They came with a rough ear infection that we fought for several weeks, poor girl.

You love stacking cups and putting things in cups.  This will occupy your attention for a while.  You still love balls and especially love Lexi's princess castle.

You started clapping, finally.  Took you a while to do this one.  Not sure why, because you have been signing "more" for a while now.  You still sign to us to tell us when you want more, when you want to eat, when you want milk or water and when you are done.  Its so cute to me still.

I still can't believe you are one.  This past year has been the most amazing year for your daddy and I.  We love you so very much and watching you grow and reach milestones has been so incredible.  I can not believe the amount of joy you have brought to our lives sweet girl.  You are so very loved and prayed for every day.  Not a day that goes by, that I don't thank God for the miracle that you are.  What an incredible little blessing you are.  I pray that not a day goes by, that you don't realize how loved you are. 

Happy happy birthday sweet girl! 

The Fair!

We went to the fair a couple weeks ago when it was in town.  Of course Lolo was too small to ride any of the rides and they wouldn't even let her ride the carousel, unless we just say on the bench with her.  Oh well!  There's always next year. 

There was a really cool petting zoo though.  They had baby pigs, deer, kangaroos, goats, and other animals that I didn't know what they were.  They were cute though! 

Andrew and I, mostly me, enjoyed some deep fried cookie dough, it was delicious! 

Lolo decided to take a little nap in the stroller before we left.  Such a sweet face...

Then we made a pit stop over to PB kids to let her play a bit...Fun times!
