It was a big year. It always is with a first born and ours was no different. Our son Cairo came a day early on October 26, 2015 and like they all say, our lives were changed forever.
ONE YEAR FACTS
- Cairo's favourite activity is sleeping. Seriously. At 2 months old I would not have said this.
- He's been walking while holding our hands since 6 months old - waiting for him to let go soon for good.
- If he could be any celebrity he would be "Elf" because "smiling is his favourite".
- He dropped in weight from 2 months to 4 months and ever since then we get to do extra doctor check-ups. The best of times.
- Bath time used to be a relaxing time for this mama but now consists of Cairo consistently trying to stand up = aka not relaxing.
- Cairo is exceptionally talented at eating. There is no difference between snack time and meal time for him.
- We have started Bear Crawling as another means of transportation.
- Fifteen. the number of flights Cairo has been on in the past 12 months. He is a champ.
- Lately Cairo will stop holding onto furniture and start walking to us if we are nearby (Usually when we aren't looking which creates mini heart attacks each time for David).
- He is the best thing David and I have ever accomplished. Parenting is crazy but so fun.
We had an awesome party last weekend celebrating our boy and we had a lot of help from Talking Tables for almost all of the decor you see. I went with a blue ombre theme and their coastal range was a perfect pairing. Sparkling ICE provided refreshments as we served up some light snacks to all of our guests.
AH! These felt balls on a string are from the company The Strand and it was perfect to match our blue ombre theme. I found @thestrand on Instagram and thought these felt balls on string were so unique and beautiful. Check her out and use some as decor in a nursery or dressing up your party table or mantle.
HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY CAIRO - we couldn't love you more.
