Roxy's Birthday party!

All my babies get a first birthday party! it's like a right of passage to go from months to years. it's also super super hard for me but that's ok. I did cry A LOT this past weekend thinking about how big she is getting but I decided to push through it and party on :)

Now of course the theme of her birthday was going to be hot pink and zebra. Her room is decked out in those colors and it's just so...Roxy! And since this will be the only year I will do this theme (unless she asks for it another time) I had to go all out right?! it was so fun coming up with ways to decorate for her party. I made a lots of crafty things too. Rob doesn't like how I went a little overboard. but hey your only baby girl turns ONE only ONCE! It tuned out great! we have some great friends who came to celebrate with us too. Our back yard it always a big hit and that's where the party is.

here are a few pics.....









Had to add a little pazazz to her high chair!



Zebra cakes and zebra chocolate covered strawberries! 



Made a picture collage of every month from birth to her 1st birthday


and some subway art of course....


PINK lemonade

party favors


the cake had a couple layers. here was the inside...




the outside. didn't turn out exactly how I wanted but oh well




And had to give ourselves matching pedi's of course too!













She was the ONLY one of my kids who didn't scream during the birthday song! she was so happy actually. So sweet!





Rob smashed the cake in her face before I had a chance to get picture. I was more than a little upset about this. but he's paying for his mistakes.....

here are the ones I got. she was not happy about it.




 opening presents..





Everyone had to try out the huge bow!








She was still a little sick and this is all she wanted. but it turned out great. Happy birthday my sweet girl. I love you so much!!!





 my mom sent her a package and this was one of the presents. she just loves stuffed animals!

Happy Birthday ROXY!!!!!!




Today she is one. 

I can NOT believe it.

Time flies....like really flies.

Oh how I love her!

So I am not going to lie, this has been a hard week for me. I am not excited that my BABY is turning one. not one bit. I love the new stages she is in and all the fun things she is doing but oh how I don't want her to grow up! I know what happens to girls when they grow up! She is just so sweet and so fun right now I want it to last forever. 

Here are a few birthday stats....

She's cute
 she doesn't crawl but does the dead man crawl thing
she is walking around with our help of course and just loves it.
she says hi. and a few other words but never on command
she talks ALL the time though. you can't understand her but boy does she love to talk. she is such a girl already!
she still has no hair.
she is a feisty one especially when it comes to her brothers
she love loves loves stuffed animals
we just love her so much!










And just think exactly a year ago I looked like this........



Huge and breathing through the pain!!!





Little Roxy
6.15 lbs (my tiniest of all!!)
20 inches
perfect.











Happy birthday sweet Roxy! I love you more than words can say....just stop getting so big please!
