Happy 1st Birthday Baby Girl!!

So... today is a very special day (and a sad one at the same time)... today my baby girl, Jayden, turns 1! At exactly 1:46pm PSt Jayden will officially be 1 year old. I cannot believe how fast she's grown!

Jayden has been the best baby ever.. she's slept throught the night since she was born (we had to wake her for feedings but other than that.. a big sleeper), shes said her first word (Mama) when she was only 4 months old and has been talking since! And took her first steps on Black Friday. She hardly ever crys and has been on over 17 airplane trips (not quite sure it's possibly 20 already). Adam & I are truly blessed! We love her so much!

So, for todays post since we'll be busy celebrating (taking her to her fav restaurant, the Olive Garden, for dinner and taking pics, etc.)... Im just gonna post some pics of her monthly photoshoots (and some extras that are on this computer).. I don't have all the pics of her on this computer, if I did there would be a LOT more.. my favs over the past year.. but I'll work with what I have. So here are a few pics!


One of her MANY ultrasound pics.. I had to have an Ultrasound done once a week after I had my cerclage put in and slowly down to one every other week.. I had wayy more than 20 ultrasounds.


This is one of my fav Ultrasound pics.. shes sucking on her toes :D

One of my fav from the 3D ultrasounds (I had 3 3D ultrasounds done).. she looks so cute in this one just like shes day dreaming.. her head is on her elbows and her elbows are on her knees.

January 11, 2010 - Just hours after she was born Jayden is laying on me with her best friend Nelly (the seahorse)!

Look at those tiny feet!!! so dry and cracked :( poor thing..

This is still up there in my top 10 fav pics of Jayden & Daddy.. this was taken while in the hospital after she was born

One of my fav pics of me & Jayden.. we're in the hospital and I'm burping her :)

Sleeping in the hospital with some toys :)

This is definitly one of my all time favs of Jayden.. I took this on the 13th In the hospital.. shes laying in the crib thingy.. I love this one so much it was not only used for her birth announcements but Adam had it made into a silver charm for my charm necklace!

Jayden's 1st Birthday Party Supplies!

My little baby Jayden is turning 1 on January 11, 2011! I cannot believe how fast this year went.. Im gonna cry on her birthday I just know it.. (I cry on her month birthdays lol). I have all of this stuff made kind of early (we're doing her party on Jan 1, 2011 so that family can come since we'll be home then). Why so early you ask? Well... we are leaving WY (and my Cricut and all my crafty things) On Dec 12 and won't be back until Jan 5 so I have to get it done now!

This week at SweetSassyDiva DT our challenge was to make party stuff.. (invites, banners, gift bags, cakes etc.)

- What you'll need -

For the invites:

premade cards (I made a total of 19)
blue card stock

bright blue ink pad

hot pink card stock

neon green card stock

purple card stock

black card stock

black Glaze pen

black ink pad

clear accents

Plantin SchoolBook

Create A Critter

Cricut

adhesive

Cuttlebug

divine swirls embossing folder

For the gift bag:

brown gift bag (got mine at the dollar tree 2 for $1)

hot pink cardstock

blue card stock

purple card stock

neon green card stock

black glaze pen

adhesive

double sided foam tape
Create A Critter

Wild West

Cricut

- How To Make It -

The invites:

Cut the blue cardstock to the size of your premade cards (a little smaller than the front) and emboss with the Cuttlebug and Divine Swirls folder. Take your blue ink pad and rub over the blue card stock to give a little dimension to the swirls. Adhere the blue cardstock to the front of the card. With Create A Critter cut some whales and jellyfish (I cut my whales and large jellyfish at 3 inches and my smaller jellyfish at 2 inches). I cut them in pink and purple and saved the green for the tags (its a girl party so I just wanted the green to be an accent). Adhere the whales and jellyfish on the cards (upper middle). With Plantin SchoolBook cut out the #1 using roly poly at 11/4 inch in the green, purple & pink cardstock. Cut some strips of green & pink (they are the ones the words will show best on) approx. 1x4 inches and distress the edges using the black ink pad. Write the sentiment (I had wrote all of mine a stamp or printed version would work just fine) with the black Glaze pen. I just decided to come up with my own theme for Jaydens party, I already knew what I wanted so I didn't have to search for anything. I placed the strips diagonally and put opposite colored 1's over the end of the strip. I then covered the 1's in clear accents to give it the look of water.

The gift bag:
I cut the purple jellyfish at 4inches and the pink whale at 5inches. Adhered them to the bag toward the middle. Cut the strips of waves by the whale by hand and put foam tape on the bottom one to make it pop. I also cut the bubbles by the jellyfish out by hand. Using Create A Critter I cut the "happy birthday" at 2 inches in green, and with Wild West I cut all the other letters and the 1's. I cut the green 1 using shadow at 3 inches and the purple at 3 inches w/o shadow on, and the shadow green "st" at 2inches and w/o shadow in purple at 2inches. Cut "Jayden" in both green and purple at 2 inches (and shadowed them myself using opposites). I cut the "BABY" at 2 inches and the "baby" at 1.5 inches in hot pink. Easy!

I am entering these into the following challenges:
