Thanks ladies, I drove home yesterday and am feeling better, not 100% as my appetite isn't totally back yet.

Like, my wishlist for Doyle is all books as well. We would rather him have a ton of books than a ton of toys. I don't think it is tacky at all. Book baby showers are all the rage so why not a book first birthday
Doyle's first birthday will be star wars theme. We did his room in Star wars and the local grocery store does a free smash cake with the order of a bigger cake. I don't know how themed I will go for the first birthday other than getting little star wars party favors. I did order some cheap onesies online and will make a custom 1st birthday one for him. Doyle will be having two parties, one in AL and one in FL.

I still can't believe his first birthday party is just around the corner! Didn't I just give birth to him!
 
We aren't going overboard. Originally I was thinking a robot theme, but now i'm just doing some simple decorations and a cake in the shape of a 1. It's more of a party for adults than the kid hahaha. Will's is in less than two weeks!

I'd rather books but I didn't make mention of anything to do with gifts.
 
I'd rather not mention gifts myself, but I know if I don't, I will get a ton of stuff we will end up just getting rid of. I know that sounds ungrateful, but my inlaws just tend to buy odd things for babies (matchbox cars at Xmas... When he was 6 months old!!!). So if they're going to buy, I feel bad about letting them waste their money. Ahh, it's still not really my style to do - we didn't even have a wedding or baby registry! I just feel like, at this point, I'd rather he get stuff we want him to have. I don't want to take away things after the fact and have him freak out.
 
Totally understand. Don't think there is anything wrong with it. Plus, like you said, books are inexpensive and at least people know they are getting something you want.

I've been going to all the first birthdays and I agonise over what to get, so I wouldn't mind someone giving me a list to choose from!
 
i think we will do a ballerina party for her first birthday, with little ballerina cupcakes and lots of pink.. we have tons of friends with kids around her age and so it should be fun, but i also think its probably more of a party for the adults! lol with all the yummy food..
 
I am planning a Dr. Seuss Party! We also considered doing a book instead of toy thing too!
 
We are doing a monster party for Iain's first Birthday :) Will just be family and a few close friends.
 
These party ideas sound fun. :) please post pics ladies. I can't believe many of us are on the verge of toddlerhood!
 
Everyone's party themes are so cute! Love the book idea! I haven't started planning Everlee's yet but I have been thinking about it and I'm not sure about a theme. I need ideas! I can't believe we are all talking about 1st birthdays! :) we have all come a long way. So exciting!
 
Good ideas for parties ladies. Me and lo love books too. We dont really have gift lits here tho so i will probly end up with clothes i dont like which sit it the wardrobe forever.
 
After an awful sad posts on facebook today I want to share how happy and blessed I am to have my little monster. :) I feel such sadness for my friends but don't really know how to share my feelings with them.. It did take us a year to conceive with one chemical pregnancy.. but to visit doctors to find out why or to lose babies. My experiences don't even touch them. I just could not imagine. Those of you who have gone through that my heart aches for you.
 
OMG more than a little excited! William took his first steps solo steps tonight!!
 
Mrs. MM hows it going? Not much longer!!!!

*edit found her last post the board was acting funny.
 
For those of you ladies with older babies, when did yours learn to get to sitting on their own? I feel like as soon as E can do that, he will be unstoppable, which is frightening, LOL.
 
Oh gosh no! Sorry! I was just thinking sitting without falling over. He didn't go from all fours to sitting till just over 8 months. He got up on all fours for the first time just before 8 months,crawling two weeks later (including from crawling to sitting up...he was particularly proud of that), then a few days later he pulled hilself up to standing. Cruising followed after that.

Sorry for the confusion!
 
Laila is 7 months.. can get out of solo sitting on her own but cannot get into it yet. Shes trying to crawl on her hands and knees, but she is army crawling and rolling everywhere! I watched her roll from the living room to the kitchen just now! lol

Wilsey you had me startled too!!! Hahahaha!
