Lil Peanuts Car

Don't let the cuteness of this classic lil car fool you! It took me awhile to figure out the picture directions on putting this car together. After some struggle I did it! Haha. 

It was well worth it, Lil Peanut scooted around in it forever ;)

Buy your lil one here !

Pool Time

Happy June everyone!

Pool season has officially arrived. Papa had the day off on Monday and cleaned and filled Lil Peanuts swimming pool. By the time I got home from work and Lil Peanut from daycare the water was warm and ready for some splashing! Here are a few pictures of Peanuts first time in the pool this season ;)

Peanut's Sandbox

Mimi bought Lil Peanut his first sandbox and he loves it so much I literally have to drag him out of it! He plays so hard he has sand pouring out of pant legs, and stuck in between his lil fingers and pudgy toes, but the best surprise of all is when I change his diaper there is a whole secret compartment of sand hidden haha. Here are just a few pictures of him in his favorite spot!

Thanks Mimi ;)

A wonderful day with Lil Peanut

I take so many pictures of Lil Peanut it's hard to keep track of them! Here are pictures of our amazing Easter Sunday. We had so much fun playing at the park!

Making Easter Stuff

Lil Peanut had a blast finger painting the paper to cut Easter eggs out of. He had such a great time smearing all the colors together. He saw the paint brush I was using to dish out the paint and grabbed it and knew exactly what it's purpose was.

It is so amazing to witness how smart he is and how much he is truly starting to understand!

It was a great time enjoy the pictures!

Peanut's Big First Birthday Day

We had an amazing weekend. Peanut's first birthday was on Friday so I took him to the Aquarium to see all the neat fish, reptiles, and even a tiger! Oh my! Here are just a few pictures of our day there.

Peanut reaching out to touch the fish.

This Sting Ray swam right over our heads!

When Peanut saw this orangutan he stared making his monkey sounds.

ooo oo ooooo he says.

And then he roarrrred for the tiger.

We had a great time ;)

but look at that hair soooo, I decided what better day to get his hair cut for the first time than on his first birthday!

I mean just look at that hair!

His hair is all wet and ready...

All smiles on the first cut!

Looking sharp ;)

Overall it was an amazing weekend, and I can't wait to see what this next year brings in our lives. Lord knows the He already gave me the greatest gift ;)

Peanut's First Birthday Party!

This weekend was Lil Peanut's 1st birthday party. I decided an appropriate theme for his 1st birthday should be around his nickname lil Peanut. Here are the details. Enjoy!

I designed the invitations on photoshop and had a local printer print them on card stock for me. Here's a tip for the thrifty momma like me...when using a print shop ask that they not cut the invites for you I saved almost 75% by just cutting the invites by myself! 

The Goods

Since we were having brunch I wanted a lighter dessert so I had La Momo Maes make angel food cake cupcakes. They were absolutely beautiful! And they were perfect for peanut's first taste of sweet stuff.

For the party favors everyone got a sack of circus peanuts.

I found the cutest birthday hat at Hobby Lobby, but it didn't match my color scheme so I bought felt that matched and just redesigned the hat so it would match peanut's party!

Since peanut can't walk just yet I decided to have brunch at our favorite place to eat out which is The Egg and I. Here are some of the pictures of Peanut enjoying his birthday party, and of course his birthday cupcake.

         

Silly birthday boy

Getting ready for the good part

He smashed right into it!

Still enjoying the good stuff

Can you tell????

All smiles after the shindig ;)

Playing with his balloons.

 It's the first time peanut ever saw balloons.

 We had an amazing time with friends and family. I want to thank everyone for sharing this special day with us! 

Peanut Mush

This was my Lil Peanut's new trick this morning...mushing food and discovering he can now spit it out. Not because he doesn't like bananas, but just because he can and it's funny lol. I couldn't help but laugh. 

This last week has been a good week, I see so many little changes in Peanut. It warms my heart to see all the new things he is learning, and understanding! His first birthday party is coming up this weekend. It is going to be a great time. I will post pictures of everything so stay tuned!
