Busy Busy Busy!! That is all I can say about this time of year.. lol

Noah's first birthday is on Wednesday, and I am trying to come up with ideas on how to make it special...

I have the cake design picked out, and need to start making that very soon, presents are bought (a pull apart truck that talks, a walking trolley/pulling kart, clothes.. etc), going out for the day, just the three of us - Noah, Daddy and Mummy, then out for dinner, just the three of us again...

We aren't having a party... just hanging out all day and night together

I thought that it would be a cute idea to get Noah's handprints on his birthday, and do it every birthday.. so he can see how much he has growm when he looks back on them in a few years time.

Does anyone else have any other ideas similar to this?? I was also trying to come up with a great gift for him that he can keep for a very long time.

Any suggestions will be appreciated

Thanks

It sounds like Noah will have a very special day, Shann, you will have to post some pics of your birthday boy!

As for the handprint idea, I think it sounds perfect. But instead of two hands, I would do a hand and a foot. It will show him not only how big his hands are growing but also his feet! Did you get either done when he was born? I think in a plaster mold would be nice or maybe in some colourful paint and put them in a nice photo frame and hang it on the wall in his room?

I didn't have his prints done in plaster, which I am kind of regretting... Just didn't have the time, and now he is almost one!!

I thought of doing a hand and a foot might do that...

The plaster molds are surprisingly quite expensive! Well they were where I was going to have it done...
