We bought a mickey mouse balloon and cake for her because she loves him. Our grocery store (publix) has a deal for 1st birthdays - when you buy a regular cake they make a special cake just your baby <img src="http://similac.com/community/boards/emoticons/emotion-49.gif" alt="Cake" />. We all laughed as she buried herself in it (we had to give her a bath immediately after she was so covered there really wasn&#39;t another choice). It was just right for us - not too big, but big enough to include everyone we wanted.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/36.aspxThu, 20 Nov 2008 03:03:28 GMTacc0266e-1ded-4c2f-a019-bb85b48eedc2:36writemommy100http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/36.aspxhttp://similac.com/community/boards/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=3&PostID=36<p> Baby&#39;s first birthday is a true milestone in both your life and his. At this stage of development, though, celebrating the occasion with a lavish party and tons of gifts is usually more for mom and dad than it is for the baby. I&#39;m a big believer in making a birthday party about the kids and if they&#39;re not old enough to really enjoy a big cake and candles, cupcakes are just as good. Like me, many parents today are choosing to go a more conservative route when it comes to planning that first birthday party. </p> <p>Did you celebrate your baby&#39;s big day in stylish simplicity? What did you do to make the day special for everyone?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
