Leo’s 1st Birthday Party

IT’S PARTY TIME!

I can’t believe that my sweet Leo is 1 year old! Where did my little cotton ball puppy go??

Although this past year flew by, it was so much fun to look back and reminisce on our first year with Leo. Watching him grow up and change is absolutely bittersweet! He has learned so many things and for the most part is such a good dog! I may not be able to pick him up anymore but he makes the best pillow and still lets me cuddle him everyday. At the age of 1 his favorite things are going on long walks, playing with friends at the dog park, having his paw held, eating just about anything and above all just spending time with others. It’s crazy how such a young creature can have so much love to give. I feel so lucky to have Leo as my big ol’ puppy. He is a very special part of our family and we can’t wait to continue watching him grow!

While soaking in nostalgia, I also planned a little birthday party for Leo. My finance, laughing at me, said that I went a little overboard but I just had so much fun! I baked his dog friendly birthday cake from scratch and creating a Pinterest inspired balloon arch! I purchased the balloons from Amazon and the cake stand from Target.

Can’t forget about the matching outfit including a party hat, baby blue collar and bowtie! My best fur-ever friend also got me the cutest birthday themed toys!

We had so much fun celebrating our sweet Leo on his first birthday! I’m sure he can’t wait to experience all the goodies and excitement that came with this day again. However, I am hoping that this next year doesn’t pass so fast. Either way, he will always be my adorable, quirky “puppy”.
