I haven't been here in awhile, but I just wanted to say WOOHOO! We made it a year without screwing him up! In fact, he's been amazingly happy and healthy. Here's a couple of pics from his birthday party:
The #1 piece of advice I have for pulling off a baby/toddler birthday party, especially the first, is either hire or designate a photographer. It makes a HUGE difference not to have to worry about that. In our case, we hired a friend of mine who's just starting her photography business, and we got her for the whole party plus portrait time, and received a disc of over 300 pics for $100. It was so so worth the money!
Re: AW: Rowan turns one!
Cute pictures! We hired a photographer for both of my kids 1st birthday parties. We were able to enjoy the event and get all of the special moments.
LOL on making it to 1 year (without screwing him up). Just you wait though! He is a toddler now. And they have a lot of energy.
