nerd baby has a birthday

this year has been the craziest, funnest, most wonderful year ever. our bundle of joy has grown from a teensy bitty thing (5 pounds, 8 ounces!), to a walking, talking, go-go-go ball of energy. months of planning went into celebrating her very first birthday, and i am so pleased with the results.

nerd daddy took the day off work so we could take nerd baby to the l.a. zoo on her actual birthday, so we decided on a zoo themed birthday party. i made everything i could myself, from hand-stamped napkins to homemade favor bags and snacks.


homemade favor bags include animal crackers, fruit snacks, personalized water bottle, zoo animal themed erasers, pencils, notepads and stamps, and homemade animal bottle cap magnets.

clockwise from top left: circus animal cookies and arrowroot animal crackers, homemade chex mix, watermelon cubes, multi-grain goldfish crackers.

homemade pink lemonade cupcakes with vanilla frosting and animal cracker toppers.



homemade rice crispy treats with sprinkles.

hand-dipped white chocolate pretzels.

hand-stamped zoo napkins.

tea sandwiches: butter and cheddar, cream cheese and olive, and ham and american cheese.

personalized water bottles (designed by daddy nerd!)


mint tea with organic honey and lime, and pink lemonade with fresh lemons.





happy birthday to our itty bitty nerd!
