Bella, You're ONE in a MELON
Our SWEET little Bella bean, can you believe you are already ONE? These days you are non-stop on the go, noise making, baby bouncing (your version of dancing) and sweet as can be with the cutest little toothless smile. You love to do anything your big sister does and will steal her snack cup or sippy cup at any chance you get. Bella bean, you truly are ONE in a MELON and we can't imagine our lives without you! Happy birthday sweet girl, we love you to the moon and back!

The Details
Bella's watermelon themed birthday party was SO much fun to plan. I kept it simple with a few banners, lots of red and green balloons, and of course lots of pictures of the birthday girl. I saw a pallet board monthly picture display on Pinterest and fell in love, luckily Eric has about 100 pallet boards at work. I had him bring one home, ended up putting some leftover stain on it because it was pretty dirty, added our ONE birthday banner that I made for her photo shoot, and just used twine and clothespins to hang her monthly pictures. My other favorite details were her adorable little watermelon romper, high chair banner, watermelon cupcakes, and bubble favors. Everything was cute, simple, and screamed summer and I loved seeing it all put together.

Cake Smashing
A first birthday party is not complete without a cake smash. Your sister has been rehearsing "Happy Birthday to You" for weeks and has been trying to teach you how to blow out the candles, it was so cute. Even though you didn't quite get the blowing out the candles thing, your big sis came to the rescue to help you out. After we sang, we let you enjoy your cake, but it turns out you hated it! You immediately stuck your hand in the red icing and put it all over your face - and that combined with the fact that it was already pretty much your be time - you were just not having it.
