11 Months!

Holy moly, my baby is 11 months old! That came and went very quickly!

And so, I'm starting to plan her birthday party! I already know for sure that I'm going to have a cook-out on Sunday, April 19th at my place, starting at 3pm. I'm going to have the boys cooking (Ryan and Mark, in case anyone didn't know), but that's all I know for sure.

Her actual birthday is Monday, the 20th, and I'm thinking about taking the day off and heading up to the Atlanta Zoo. I haven't been since I was a kid, and I don't remember anything about it. It'll cost Ryan $18.99 to get in, but I can get the college student rate at $14.99 and Corbin can get in for free! That's not so bad, money-wise! Food shouldn't be an issue, because Ryan and I can pack a lunch if we need to (a la our honeymoon in Disney World), and Corbin's food is already as portable as can be!

So yes, that's the plan, hoping that weather permits and I can take a day off of work. I think she'll love the zoo, since she seems to REALLY love animals, and being outdoors. I want to do cheesy things, like get her a birthday outfit and tie a balloon to her stroller. Sometimes I think I get totally carried about with being a mom! :D

Anywho, I'll update with more details on the cook-out later!


ALSO ALSO ALSO!!!!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

I freaking LOVE The Children's Place, and you should, too! Not only do they have the CUTEST and coolest clothes EVER for pretty freaking cheap, but they are really great when it comes to customer service. I've been eyeballing this one dress in particular for weeks, thinking it's the dress I wanted to get Corbin for Easter. After looking other places and seeing nothing I liked, I went online to look at it again, and saw that it was on sale for MUCH CHEAPER! Super excited, I went to the mall on Friday night to buy it. HOWEVER, they didn't have her size in the color I wanted! BUT THEY TOTALLY MADE UP FOR IT because they gave me a coupon for FREE SHIPPING from the website!


[I just think Corbin looks so darling in blue over pink!]

That is grand!

So yes. The Children's Place. I love them. And you should, too! :D

That is all!

Oh yay! Our little babies are going to be ONE!! I too have started planning Maxwell's birthday, and I keep getting overwhelmed. I want to have a big themed birthday party, but I don't want it to be a huge hassle or get too spendy. lol

Are you doing any kind of theme for her party? And are you going to do a cake for the party and her birthday? Oh and you should definately decorate her high chair for the party! That is super cute!
