Tayley Turns One

This past weekend we celebrated Tayley turning one! Everyone warned us that the time would fly by and wow has it ever. I don’t know where the year went. Pretty sure she was just born a few months ago.

First birthday parties aren’t really for the kids though are they? I see them more as a “yay! You survived and they survived!”  Because I’m sure if Tayley had picked the theme it would have been kitties and not boho chic/floral woodland lol. I think my husband was probably the most excited out of the three of us. “It’s my little girl’s birthday. And she’s only one once” was said many times!

We had over 200 real flowers and I didn’t count how many fake flowers. There was lace and burlap and a teepee with lace. I love how the whole party turned out! (Plus now I’m convinced I want that many flowers always in the house). For party favours we sent vases of flowers home with everyone.

She may not have known what a birthday is all about but she certainly had a great time getting lots of attention and playing with her cousins! We had a very happy and tired girl by the end of the night.

I thought I might be a ball of tears but I held it together pretty good. And as sad as it is that my baby isn’t a baby anymore, I have a little relief too. The newborn and baby phases we’re at times stressful and tiring. This new stage we’re at seems less. It seems like a fun age where her personality and communication becomes more and more pronounced. I’m excited to watch her grow.
