Nixon's Little Man Mustache Bash!!

Nixon turned 1 on Feb. 28th.  We had his party the following Saturday, March 3rd.  I had decided early on that I wanted to do a little man mustache bash.  I tried to use aqua's and grey's for the colors, and used anything striped/chevron striped.  I knew I wanted ties, bow ties and mustaches mixed into the decorations.  I used Pinterest a lot for inspiration, and Nic swears that he didn't have a wife for a couple months leading up to the party.  (It's true, I was wrapped up in birthday stuff for way too long!)  I have decided that I am buying dollar store crap from now on instead of spending months making it all :)  It was all worth it though.  We had a fun little party for our little man.  We love him and are so proud of him.  We feel so lucky that he chose us as his parents.  We love you Nixie boy!








































































I took these pictures a couple weeks before the party so I could send them in the invites. Nic made me an awesome backdrop from a tutorial we found on Pinterest. It was made from PVC pipe. The striped fabric is our shower curtain. The wood "floor" is actually just paper, and then we bought a strip of crown molding for the baseboard.

Playing catch up... {once again!}

I am such a slacker when it comes to blogging! Will I really ever stay caught up? I doubt it. I will admit I have become consumed in projects for Nixon's 1st birthday. I have been spinning out of control. Oh well! You only turn 1, once! Let's play catch up on Nixon's monthly pictures.

8 Months:

























9 Months:











10 Months:






I can't believe his 1 year mark is just around the corner. I have been going through all of his pictures so we can make a slideshow for his party, and I'm amazed at how much he has grown. He is a big boy! He is so smart, he loves doing baby sign language. He can wave, clap, sign book, all gone, hat, and dog. He gives kisses. He started walking just after 10 months, but he chooses when he wants to do it. He goes up and down stairs. He bathes with his big brothers and loves to splash. He loves cows milk. He drinks about 40 oz. a day! He has been in size 5 diapers since he was about 7 months. He wears 2T. His best friend is his dad, but when he is hurt or not feeling good he prefers to snuggle up to me. He loves to say uh oh dada. He mimics sneezing and fake laughs. He sleeps from 8pm to 8 am and takes about 2 naps a day. He is the entertainment around here and we love him to death!
