BABY BEAR FIRST BIRTHDAY
/
Last week our baby bear turned ONE. He’s my last baby and even though his entire life has been lived in a pandemic, I still wanted to celebrate him in style.
We’re still in a bit of a social lockdown here so we were not able to have any of our friends over but a few family members who provide childcare came over to celebrate sweet baby Leo.
The MASSIVE balloon garland was created by the incredible Tonye who owns I Dream in Decor. She blew us away with the garland she made! I told her I wanted neutrals with brown and sent her a photo for inspo and she blew it out of the water. The colours were PERFECT and it looks like a waterfall. If you’re local to Victoria, BC, hire her for your party or event!
The adorable bear cake was made by my friend Rachel of Rachel Cakes. She did our wedding cake, first anniversary cake, first birthday cakes for Luca + London and my baby shower cake for London so naturally we had to hire her to make Leo’s! We had to go for the flavour, ‘The Liira’!! It was actually the flavour she created for our wedding cake and it’s AMAZING.
As happy as I was to celebrate our boy, a part of me was saddened. I couldn’t help thinking back to Luca’s + London’s first birthday…we had celebrated with tons of family, friends and little baby friends and Leo wouldn’t get that. Pandemic babies (+ parents of babies) have missed out on SO much. My heart truly goes out to first time mamas who raised their baby during the pandemic, you guys are amazing!
Happy birthday sweet Leo bear!!! We love you so much.
