Adoptable puppies! These were Landen's favorite. I think she wanted to adopt them all. To her disappointment, she only took home one. His name is "Cake".
Just some of the puppy themed snacks..."water bowl" (jello) and "dog bones" (soft pretzels)...
Birthday boy, Hayes! So smiley and sweet!
Wider shot of the "dog treats"...
Time for presents...Hayes liked the bows and tissue paper best. :)
And who doesn't like watching a one year old get their first real sugar high? Hayes loved every bit of his icing (and a little cake)...
Later in the evening, Landen and Hayes enjoyed their own little dance party in Hayes' bed. I think Hayes really enjoyed being bounced all over the place by Landen. Of course, when she wasn't trying to tackle him or bounce him out of the crib, Landen did try giving him a few hugs (that just resemble head-locks a bit).
Finally, I'll share one of the gifts we gave to Hayes for his birthday. I recently found this craft on Pinterest and decided it would be a good first sewing project with my brand new sewing machine. With minimal experience, I knew it would be a bit of a challenge, but my mom helped me work through some of the kinks.
The goal was to make the entire alphabet, but it's a work in progress. We'll call it "the gift that keeps on giving". Hayes got his name plus the letters "B" and "C" to get his alphabet started. The letters consist of two pieces of fabric with two pieces of felt in between (so the letters are stiff enough to hang on the refrigerator). They also include a magnet sewn inside (not as easy as it sounds). Older children could have letters with the magnet hot glued to the back, but the younger ones should have ones with magnets on the inside so not to cause a choking hazard.
That's it for now. Fashion post coming soon. Promise.
