Soleil @ 1: Planning Party Theme

Today is Soleil's 9th month! At this point,  Soleil aka pachuchay, chaychay, chiburber, abachuychuy

• is still exclusively breastmilk fed!
• has 3 teeth and one coming out - she loves biting her toys, sucking her fingers and hand!, munching on cloth labels
• eats solids 3x a day - she goes 'aaah' and opens her mouth when she wants more; her favorite is ginisang gulay: sayote, squash, carrots
• not much of a fruit eater
• drinks well from her sippy cup
• dances to 'twinkle, twinkle little star' and tries to sing 'tatatatatata'
• loves Hi5  especially the sing and dance parts
• loves her Kuya Gab! ♥♥♥ she gets excited everytime Kuya's around; she immediately stops crying whenever Kuya hushes her
• is sleeping through the night, from 8PM - 6-7AM - thank you, baby, for giving Nanay a complete good night sleep!
• doesn't want to be rocked to sleep now; she just turns and turns on the bed until she falls asleep on her own

Happy 9mos, my sunshine. You're growing up fast... too fast! I wish i could freeze the time so will have more of this beautiful day, everyday. haaay. I love you, babe, to the moon and back!



Speaking of birthday, eeek! i have exactly 3mos to plan and execute this little girl's DIY 1st birthday!
I'll be working on a (very) limited budget, so yeah, DIY is the way to go :-)



I've started looking for a theme, that's where you start, right?

Since i still have 'bitterness' for not pulling-off (argh!!) the Paris Theme for Chuchay's binyag, i thought of doing that theme for her birthday. At least now, i have more time to prepare. I saw this travel-paris theme birthday party styled by Luxe Parties, an events stylist who design awesome party venues! But, im pretty sure, they don't come cheap. :-)

Isn't it cute, and dainty, and shabby, and girly? I WANT! Actually all their party themes, I WANT!!! If only i have moolah to burn, i'll book them instantly!

But surprisingly, i was getting bored with the theme, and am actually ready to move on. hehehe

Paris Party Theme

 Anyhoo, i was looking for a unique party theme and came across this cool party blog which featured a rasta party!

A Rasta Party!!! what a unique and cool theme! I was already planning it in my head. How Soleil's birthday will be full of red, yellow and green - Bob Marley or Sebastian from Little Mermaid playing in the background - food served like fruit ka-bobs, buffalo soldier chicken, rasta pasta. I was sooo egzoited! UNTIL, i brought up the idea to Chard...

Chard: Rasta? Alam mo bang kulto yun?
Chari: Eeeeeeh... hindi naman yun e. yung theme lang!
Chard: Ewan ko beh, parang di bagay sa kiddie party....

Foine! When i thought about it, oo nga naman, hindi nga naman yata bagay ang associated sa weed smoking (yeah, men) sa kiddie party :D (i still think it's soo cool though so i'm bookmarking that page! :P)

Sunshine Party Theme! It is soo appropriate since Soleil is french word for sun (FYI). Yellow would be the main color, with touches of white and pink/green(?), i'll decide when im actually starting with the decors!
