It was my dad's idea to celebrate cody's birthday at the 13 month mark to make up for the catastrophe that happened on his actual birthday. I loved the idea of doing a baker's dozen birthday and I am happy to report that it was a success! This is a picture of his golden butter cake. Those are blueberry yogurt pretzels from henry's next to the cake:
I made this felt banner for his highchair:
Travis called this a "shrine" to cody. This picture is actually from his december party. I decided the shrine was a little over the top, so I decided not to do it this time.
This picture is also from last month. That's why you can see the Christmas decorations. I came up with this idea of tissue balls and balloons everywhere because Cody's favorite word is "ball". He loved the green, blue, and orange balls all over the place. Thanks to Trav for executing my vision!
During the party, cody cruised around the house doing his own thing. Of course, one-year-olds don't really get what all the fuss is about on their birthday. He loved all the food though! He is always eating or on the go or a combination of the two. It's hard to get a good picture of him. Here he is in his ADORABLE onesie made by my very talented friend, Kata. She has a shop called mukibaba on
etsy. She and her sister sell cute magnets, bookmarks, mug cozies, earrings, and (soon to come) custom baby clothes!
A picture of the festivities. We were so blessed that many of our friends were able to come. It was a wonderful time.
Cody's first few bites of cake. (Notice no shrine). I think that the cake eating is definitely the highlight of the 1st birthday party. I try to make it even more special by not giving them cake before their birthday, so their 1st party is literally their first taste of this scrumptious dessert.
And this was the end of the sweet celebration of Cody. Happy Birthday to my sweet, cuddly, and headstrong son. You bring a lot of laughter and joy into our home. I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for you!
