🧸 A whole year of James! 💙🎂
One whole year of loving you, watching you grow, celebrating your little milestones and wondering how on earth twelve months have gone by so quickly. 🥹
From the tiniest newborn snuggles to the cheekiest little smiles, giggles, endless cuddles and a newfound determination to explore absolutely everything — what a beautiful, busy, love-filled first year it’s been!
To celebrate our gorgeous boy turning ONE, we threw him a Teddy Bear Picnic! 🧺🐻 Complete with gingham, teddy bears, lots of delicious treats, our favourite people and, of course, cake!
And because Mum is a cake decorator, there was never going to be just one cake! 😂
I had so much fun creating his teddy bear-themed number one birthday cake, complete with little blue flowers, bunting and the sweetest handmade teddy bear. And then there was James’s very own smash cake — because what’s a first birthday without letting the birthday boy get his hands into some buttercream?! 🎂
Watching those little hands squish, grab and explore the icing was everything. The mess, the curiosity, the absolute delight — a perfect little snapshot of being ONE. 💙
There’s something extra special about making your own baby’s first birthday cake. I’ve made so many cakes for other people’s milestones, but getting to pour all that love into something for our own little boy is a memory I’ll treasure forever.
James, you have brought so much joy, noise, laughter and love into our family. Watching you and your big sister together has been one of the greatest gifts of this past year, and we can’t wait to see the little person you’re becoming.
Happy first birthday, our darling boy. You are so incredibly loved. Here’s to a lifetime of adventures, milestones, messy moments and memories. 💙
And to everyone who celebrated our little teddy bear with us — thank you for making his first birthday so special! 🧸✨
