Morning everyone! I haven't had Skye measured lately but she was off the charts at 9 months so I guess she's another tall one!

**Fuzzywuzzy** · March 8th, 2010, 03:09 PM

We have another tall bubba here. I haven't had her weighed or measured lately but she seems to be getting taller and really thinning out. She was 9kg at 6 months and is only about 10kg atm

**Mad Scientist** · March 9th, 2010, 06:40 PM

Thank you for adding me to the list Mo. We're having a princess theme mainly because they're the only invitations incould find that I liked and they had matching party hats etc. How bout you?

**Fuzzywuzzy** · March 9th, 2010, 09:40 PM

Can you edit us into the list please Mo? Alexandra Sophia born 6th April.

Wow, I can't believe that 1st b'day's are only days away for some of us. We aren't having a big party as we don't have much family or any little friends to invite here. Will just be me, DP, my mum, dad, sister, BIL and brother. No theme in particular apart from "pink", pink foofa cake, pink everything else that mum had left over from my baby shower more than 12 months ago, lol. I got Alexandra's party dress out yesterday and was showing it to her and she got so excited and was giggling at it - was really funny

**Khaleesi** · March 11th, 2010, 08:24 AM

My net has crashed again so I'm on my phone.
Happy 1st birthday Ella! I hope you both have a wonderful day x

**Fuzzywuzzy** · March 11th, 2010, 09:44 AM

Happy birthday Ella! and to your DP too

Well done on making a cake. I was thinking of just doing a plain banana cake for Alexandra's actual b'day and then the other cake for her party. I spoke to the lady in our bakery and if I feel lazy I can get her to make the cake and i just have to decorate it. She can even make the icing for me if i'm super lazy!

Hope Immy has an awesome party today Jess! It's a shame that we're not still in Brisbane, I think that it would be interesting to catch up with all the bubs now that they're all alot more mobile and interactive instead of them just laying on the floor looking at each other.

Love the present that you got for Kodi Mo. Jewellery would've been on my list too, but we already have a gold bracelet from my mum and dad when Alexandra was born and diamond earrings from DPs parents. I'm not sure when she'll get to wear the earrings though because we haven't got her ears pierced and I was thinking that we'd wait a few years until she could ask to have it done herself. Plus I would be scared that she'd lose them!

We are both sick with a cold atm. It's the first time Alexandra has been sick and she's very clingy and not eating much. Hopefully we are both feeling better soon

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! goes quick hey! :-)

**Jellyfish** · March 11th, 2010, 04:13 PM

Happy Birthday Ella!

Our party today was so fantastic, I really adore the Mum's I have met along the way and it was so nice to have them over. We had these cool swirly pink roof hangers that had a big one on the bottom which looked great. I made cupcakes and spelt out HAPPY BIRTHDAY IMOGEN on them in m&m's so pretty simple but looked decent enough haha. Was a fun but exhausting morning! She was allowed one of her birthday gifts (still 6 days to the official birthday) which was a wooden oven with little wooden pots and cuttlery. Oh, and wooden food too

All the bubs seemed to enjoy it.

**Mad Scientist** · March 11th, 2010, 04:58 PM

Happy birthday Ella!!!!!! Very exciting that all the birthdays have begun!!!

**Khaleesi** · March 11th, 2010, 06:27 PM

Sounds like Immy had a fantastic day. I bet the cupcakes looked great. Will u be posting pics on FB?

**super pumpkin** · March 11th, 2010, 08:05 PM

Oh Happy Birthday Ella and Dad!!!! KB - well done for making the cake. I have been practicing lately for bday as a bit rusty.
I remember last years posts at this time so well. I too cant believe how fast time has gone and that this time last year I was still a 'lady in waiting' - remember the whinging!

T is 1 year next Tuesday and I am taking TIL from work, invited just GPs and bros and me and DH of course. Making a Pink coconut cake with Butterfly decs. I have a long standing butterfly fettish (years) so going with that.
Mum tried to get an Upsy Daisy doll but only available from UK so not for this Bday - Iggle Piggle instead. We have the musical things I prev mentioned.
Mo - the jewellery sounds lovely!What a good idea. And I love the party theme of course!!
JF - sounds like your party went well. I am too lazy to do a kids party this year. Probably next year. Too busy with work unfortunately. Well done with the longer night sleeps

FF - T and DH are sick too! Poor sickies. Hope your lot are better soon.

**super pumpkin** · March 11th, 2010, 08:07 PM

Mo - T is just over 8kg too but quite short as well. Tiny Tirion.

**Fuzzywuzzy** · March 12th, 2010, 08:59 PM

Ooooh yes! I want pics

**super pumpkin** · March 15th, 2010, 08:25 PM

Hi all,
Went to a first bday for a friends baby boy yesterday. It was a delicious brunch. All the little bubs and kids played and the parents drank champagne! Lots of fun.
Our low key party is tomorrow.
This time last year DH and I were dining at the Healesville Hotel (amazing meal) to pass the time whilst awaiting the big day. Seems not so long ago but so much has happened.

Hope all the party boys and girls are well and preparations are smooth
