My Baby is Turning One

August 17, 2009 By 6 Comments

I can not believe that in less than a month, Aubrey will be celebrating her first birthday. I don’t know where to begin!

It’s always hard trying to decide what to pick out for her party. I don’t want to be one of those parents who goes “too far” for a first birthday. Yeah, I’m sorry-my daughter will not have a pony.

With Kelsie, the first birthday was Elmo. With Aubrey, I’m not sure what to do. She is in LOVE with Shrek. But of course, how “girly” can a cake get with Shrek and Donkey on it?

One of the toys I’ve already picked out for her is the Playskool Busy Ball Popper. When I was at the BlogHer conference, I had the chance to check out some of the Playskool toys, and I have to say the Busy Ball Popper looked like something Aubrey would absolutely LOVE. It’s a busy toy with lots of sounds and movements so of course, it would keep Aubrey having fun. I’m glad I made this purchase and cant wait for her to play with it after her birthday.

So yes, I have one purchase down but as for the rest, I’m not sure what to do.

    I almost got that ball popper for my sons birthday, sounds like I should have! If your looking for more ideas, we got him the V tech Alphabet Train, and he loves it. There are a ton of different things that they can do on it, and it is by far his favorite present!
    Good luck deciding and Happy Early Birthday to Aubrey!!
