Favourite Things Friday

Hayden and I are probably mid flight with his auntie Karleen on our way to Mexico for a lovely holiday. Not to rub it in, but I wouldn’t be sad if it was raining in Victoria right now.

Can’t wait to sip on some girly drinks and soak up some rays (with my SPF 55 of course!)

More to come tomorrow from this beautiful session. Happy Friday!

Hayden’s 1st Birthday Party

It has already been one month since Hayden turned one. So I figured it was long overdue that I share some images from his party! It is no secret that I am obsessed with Pinterest. So when it came to planning Hayden’s party I created an inspiration board and went to town! I became crazy about all things owl. And with help from Hayden’s dada, nana and papa and aunties we were able to throw him a very special first birthday party. Now I know that Hayden more than likely will not remember his first birthday celebration, but I hope that when he looks back on these photos and the other snaps from the day that he will see how much effort and love went into celebrating his amazing first year.

I have to give a HUGE special thank you to Erica of the fabulous Rook and Rose Floral Boutique for providing the lovely – yet masculine  😉 – florals for the party.

Also a massive thank you to our friend Jess for designing Hayden’s invite and thank you’s. See link love below.

13 Months

Today is Hayden’s 13th month birthday and guess what ?!! He WALKED !!! Well he took about 4 steps from our coffee table to our couch and holy moly I couldn’t be prouder. He took a few more steps here and there throughout the day and I have a feeling that he is going to be even harder to keep up with mighty soon.

He already gets into EVERYTHING. But now he will be that much faster and harder for mom to keep up with. I am getting exhausted just thinking about it 😉

His favourite things to get into these days are the cat’s food and water dish. The toilets given the opportunity. Anything electrical or that has wires. And cupboards.

Some favourite foods these days are frozen blueberries and peaches (helps with the massive teething!), cheese omelettes, hummus, toast and peanut butter.

Our little boy is growing up and it is so bitter sweet.

Here is a quick snap from our trip to the petting zoo on Easter weekend.
