Baby growth - month by month

Remember the idea about keeping track of your baby growth?! Here is inspiration if you need it :)

If you read yesterdays post, then you know that duoSIS is now 1!!! (it still takes time to accept that), so I'm done with all 12 photos of her and I'm about to show you our final result :)

I didn't kept you updated about that little project, but I've been doing that photo shooting every month, with no excuses :) if you started this project yourself, then you know it is not so easy to remember to do it every month, you have to set up the props you were using, dress you baby especially for that occasion and I guess you and the baby have to be in good mood... so, it is not an easy job, and you got to force yourself to get it done, but trust me, when you see the final photo, you will be so proud and excited that you have something like that forever :)

Anyway, to keep story short, I played a bit with all those pics and here is the final result.

And here is the sneak preview of our entry room wall where we can enjoy those photos every day. I will make post about making those frames and tips to arrange them later on :)

And one more thing, before I sign out, you can keep track of your baby (actually toddler now) growth month by month, even after he/she turns one, but my plan is to do something else, much easier: take photo on every birthday with the number (you can go check again yesterdays post and see how duoSIS is holding number one)

Thanks for reading.

BIRTHDAY WEEK - Day 5 - Ladybug party

OK, this birthday week is veeeeeeeeeeery long :) yes, for me it lasts almost tree months. Time passes so fast that it really does feels that way.

Anyhow, this will be last post in this series and I hope you will like this one very much cos this party is a party for a GIRL!!! YAY!!! And, it was for my little ladybug.

Lets start from the invitation. I found inspiration somewhere on Pinterest and just customized it to suite us :)

And now let me tell you something about our outfits. :)

For the birthday girl I made a red and black tutu. If you missed the post about how to make one, here it is.

When I made first one, I didn't follow any size chart, so it came up too big for my girl. This one, I made smaller, and it fits perfectly.

I had a bit of trouble finding the plain white onesie (for some strange reason every onesie I did find had some applique on it! Grgrgrr) At the end I found one (Waikiki is the store to go if you ever need to buy one and you are local) And then I took it the print shop and have this printed on it:

Feel free to use it if you need it (in a case you need better resolution contact me and I will send it to you by email)

And while we are talking about printing on t-shirts, here is what duoBro had on his

I don't have a single photo of him where this sign is visible but trust me it was cool :) And yes, I had a trouble finding plain red tee for him as well, but somehow I manage to find it :)

And of course, me and duoTATA, also had to keep up with the kids and had to this color combination as well, so it was red and white for us too

(here is a little something to share:  after a long time I actually sewed something, and it was this skirt! YEY!!! Will share how-to very soon, it was ridiculously easy and I'm soooo happy with the result)

OK, for the decorations I made flower and ladybug garlands. Unfortunately I lost the PDFs but if I manage to find some free time I will make them again and share.

Of course, we used only red balloons.

And we played a little game – put a dot on ladybug :) just use a really big paper, draw a huge ladybug, but without dots and make some circles out of black paper. Give each child a dot, spin them first and let them put a dot on ladybug :) simple, but cute :)

And I also cut the circle in this huge lady bug so we can pretend to be a ladybugs. Here is the result

For this party I just didn't have time to make a cake, so we order the cake from one lady and if you are local you can find her here on FB.

And last but not least we celabrated this Birthday in Trebevićki raj! I can say only the best about this place and their service. Anything you want and need they will provide. As you can imagine, I have big standards, and I almost always have at least one thing to complain about (I am perfectionist, so...) and for these guys I don't have single one. They rule!!! And they have my recommendations for all of you who are searching for the place to celebrate something (even if it is not nice weather they have the inside space so you don't have to worrie about the rain) HERE is their FB page.

Ah, I almost forgot a thank you card. 

We had a great day and surely enjoy in every second...

That is all for now.

BIRTHDAY WEEK - Day 4 - Transportation party

OK, new week started, but I own you a birthday number 4 ideas, so here we go

Can you believe it, but duoBRO asked for a train party, AGAIN!?! All my tries to change it to something else failed. Only thing I could do to make it at least little bit different is to add some vehicles, so there were also a boat, a car, a plane and a truck.

Here is the invitation for this party:

As it says on the the invitation, we celebrated this time in the playground, so there was no option for a lot of things to do by ourself, but here is what we did:

And because I couldn't do more, I decided to make all three cakes for this birthday.

First one duoBRO took to his kindergarten

It was carrot cake, very simple to make, but delicious. And all kids that come to our home loooove it. I promise I will share recipe very soon (I just have to make it in original shape :) )

The cake number two was the same taste, but different shape, and it was for little party at home, just for the family.

And The Cake number 3 was for the big party

It was chocolate cake and, as I was already asked few times to share recipe, I will, hopefully tomorrow. So be sure to come back here :)

With this photo I leave you for now.

I hope you liked this and thank you for stopping by.
