In the months leading up to Baby K's first birthday, I decided to find come up with my own amazing birthday traditions in the hopes that at least some element of the tradition can be duplicated every year. Not only will this make Baby K excited for her birthday every year, but you can also get some amazing comparison pictures as well. Here are a few ideas of what I found on Pinterest came up with.
What child wouldn't like a crib full of balloons to play with!? Just like a giant ball pit, but way better. Just blow up 30 (or so) balloons and you've got yourself one amazing birthday picture. Once your child is out of their crib, you can move the balloons to the door and create either a curtain or an "avalanche".
Next up! Donut birthday cake a la' Little Baby Garvin. This is a great idea if your Little One is having a birthday party in a few days but you want to make their actual day special as well. It's great for a first birthday because the donut shape is perfect for little hands to grab a hold of. This is another tradition that can grow with your child because eating donuts (at any age) never gets old. Right?
Lastly, your little one takes a picture with a picture of themselves. What a great way to commemorate your Little One's first birthday - just use a newborn picture of them! As they grow older, you can choose to keep the same newborn picture, or take one of them the year before. Either way, you can't go wrong!

So, how did we do?
We were definitely able to start some of these birthday traditions! But documenting these traditions did not really go the way I had expected/anticipated/beendreamingofsinceforever.
You've seen the good, now it's time to see the bad and the realistic.
