Now my daughter is one years old. Happy birthday my baby! Your first year is over and babyhood is behind you. Hold on for the toddler years... In the coming months, my little one will seek more independence, discover the world from an upright position, find her sense of humor, and best of all, learn to say that she loves me.

I used to have party for her tonight if only she do not  have to do her medical rehabilitation.  But don't worry  I decided to postponed the party until next week. I was so exciting preparing her first birthday party although she may seems does not understand what party it is. I had spent my time picking up snack for her goodie bag and made a Masha and The Bear Theme Printables.

If you are planning the same theme for your party you can use my printable
