babies first birthday | Confessions of a First Time Momma

Hi everyone,

As you all know, Dahlias first birthday is on March 29th. One of the celebratory things I wanted to do was the iconic “Smash the Cake” photo shoot with her. We decided to set it up and do it ourselves since we bought a nice camera. I wanted to do if before her birthday because we are having a party on her actual birthday and I didn’t want to plan to many things on one day.

The photo shoot went fabulous in my opinion. We got some great shots and Dahlia had a blast. She hated the cake; she actually gaged when she tried it but she loved getting messy.

Here are a few of my favourite shots:

Looking back on the last year really opens my eyes as to how fast life really is. In one year Dahlia has grown, changed, and learned so many things. It seems like yesterday we were headed for the hospital to have her.

I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do.

Until next time,
One Happy Momma

Hi everyone,

I am the middle of planning Dahlia’s first birthday. Her birthday is just over a month away and I am enjoying planning her party way more than I thought I would! It is so much fun to look back on how far we have come in a year and get to celebrate her life. We are planning to do a “Smash the Cake” photo shoot with Dahlia. I am ecstatic to see how much fun she has getting messy and trying cake for the first time. I will, of course, post pictures after so you can all enjoy it just as much as us.

There are so many cute first birthday ideas on the internet. I can’t decide what to do and what not to do; I just want to do them all. I found this ADORABLE baby info-graphic on Pinterest the other day. Does anyone know where or how I can make one of these? Is there a special program or website to make this?

One year… where has the time went! Each day I look at my little girl and can’t believe how much she has grown and change. I wish time would slow down but also love the little personality she is gaining. She has the biggest smile, can walk, has the most addictive laugh, is a picky eater and loves to snuggle and I wouldn’t change anything about her.

Until next time,

One Sentimental Momma
