Weekend Tales

Before

 After

What a weekend!

I venture to say this may have been Cam's most favorite

weekend of his life thus far...

simply because

He FINALLY got to eat a sweet!

Cam's first fistful of cake was captured on video and camera

in a celebratory cake smash:)

And it just happened to be on my birthday.

Friday evening we took Cam and his lucky leprauchan out for

some yummy Mexicano!  He goes nuts for some rice smothered in cheese:)

I'm also putting in some serious overtime working on Cam's birthday party as I never have the energy to do it through out the week.  Who ever knew a first birthday could be so time consuming!?

And Saturday morning we had a quick breakfast and cartoon fix to get ready for the cake smash!

The left over balloons from the cake smash were a hit Saturday evening! 

Bookoo's of balloons for his party? Check!

And to end the perfect birthday, we made up for the quick breakfast earlier and had breakfast Saturday night!

Cam got a little practice blowing out the lights in a couple weeks!

And well, Sunday my sickly week got the best of me as I completely had no energy, voice, or life about me.  It was a very lazy, Gossip Girl/Tussin/Pinterest kinda day. 

Maybe I needed it to transition into the time change! 

It may be the death of me!

Party Planning : A First Birthday

I think I have started out almost every post this year with

"I can't believe it's already..."

and I will do it again:
I can't believe I am already planning my baby's first birthday party.

I don't know where this year has gone!

However, I am also very excited for our little family's future.

 And so excited for our baby's first EVER birthday bash:)

Our theme is "The Little Prince" and the colors are blues and gold.
Here is my vision board;)

{utensils} {frogs} {book}{washi tape}{tee pee}{print}{crowns}
{crown cupcake holders}{straws}{garland, handmade} {moccassins} {candle}

I also have a pinterest board here, when I need a little extra inspiration.
Ok...wiping the tears and distracting myself from giving Cam his tent early...
Party planning is in full swing!

Birthday pics and cake smash tomorrow for our little guy:)
and it may or may not be my birthday...


10 & 11 Months

I guess I could post Cam's 10 and 11 month updates
 before he turns one this month!
My how time flies....

A Few Of My Favorite Things:  Watching Tilly, Vocabularry, and Harry the Bunny.  I love to sing, dance,  and scream.  And as always...eat.  Biscuits and gravy.  Bananas.  Piggy back rides.  Going outside.  Mr. Fitz, sleeping under the covers.  Playing with the broom and swiffer.  Opening the cabinents and dumping things in the floor, still roaring or...growling (can't tell sometimes!), clapping:), music. 

Not so favorite...vacuum cleaners, blow dryers, hand dryers, washing machines and dryers, Baths (I am so sad about this:( )

Milestones: First taste of dog food:(, we have a bed time folks!, even though he still does't have any teeth he has pretty much began eating everything but sweets, meat, and eggs.  Eating with a spoon!  Clapping, waving "bye bye."

My face: Crinkles his nose and gives his notorious gummy grin.  I want to eat his face.

My eyes: BIG and blue:)  Full of mischief!

My hair:  I am going to make his first hair appointment in the near future:)

A Few Of My Favorite Things:  Watching Baby First TV, sharing my food with Mr. Fitz (insert bug eyed emoji here), sticking my tongue out, dancing, splashing in the bath tub...though I still hate baths, riding in my wagon on warm days, walking Mr. Fitz, throwing toliet paper in toliet (we have been through-oh I don't know 1000 rolls this month), clapping, playing the drums, opening cabinents and exploring their contents!

Not so favorite...vacuum cleaners, blow dryers, hand dryers, washing machines and dryers, Baths (I am so sad about this:( ) Anything that makes loud noise...when my food is taken away.

My feet: I speedily walking to get into everything!

Music: "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes!"..."Dancing in the Moonlight" makes another appearance.
