We’ve finally hit the last post in this series! I wanted to capture Brielle’s first year with monthly spreads and highlight other memorable events in a single scrapbook for her to review in the future. I was pretty on target but got a little behind when the holidays hit. I’m pretty proud that I was able to do all the pages before she turned 18 months! Here are the remaining pages including the last one of her first year and some birthday adventures! You can find all of her pages here in: Brielle’s Baby Scrapbook:

Baby book #Scrapbook: Month 12 highlights | spotofteadesigns.com

This month Brielle FINALLY started to sleep with longer sleep stretches consistently! Two more teeth broke through so now she had 8 teeth! We always get comments on how happy a baby she was with her big smile and practicing to give kisses. After going to music class for a while, she now started to recognize songs, knowing which ones to bounce to and which ones to wave. Not only did we celebrate her birthday this month but also her cousin Brinley’s!

On Brielle’s actual birthday, Derek took a half day and we spent the day at the beach! She wasn’t a huge fan of the sand but started to warm up to it. It was just fun to spend the day as our little family, just like the day was spent a year earlier.

After a day at the beach we went home to enjoy her first ever taste of sugar with a nice ice cream cake! She loved the cake, digging right in with both hands and I got that messy cake face ever mom wants!

It was only the three of us that day so in order to capture these shots, I set up our Joby GP3 GorillaPod SLR-Zoom Flexible Tripod on the kitchen table and plugged in my favorite Vello FreeWave Wireless Remote. I got to see all her reactions in person (and not behind the lens) and review what I got later when she was in bed. I HIGHLY recommend a wireless remote like this when you have little kids around!

Baby Book #Scrapbook: Birthday Party Feature | spotofteadesigns.com

You’ve already seen the details of Brielle’s pinwheel first birthday party. This two page spread was to document the highlights of the things mommy made for her, the friends and family that came to celebrate and to capture the adorable moments she shared that sunny day last August when she turned one! On the left side of the page I created a stacked cake look with the photos, topping them off with the Glittered “ONE” letters we used on her high chair garland from her actual birthday!

Baby book #Scrapbook Layout: Pretty Paisley design | spotofteadesigns.com

Since there was only one back page left in Brielle’s album, I picked out a favorite single photo of her from her birthday party and some pretty paisley paper. It highlight my smiley, happy girl on a layout full of “stuff” and lots of “white space.” I love how it came out and how it shows off that pretty smile of hers!

Thanks for following along on the journey to create Brielle’s first year in a scrapbook!

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate piece shown on the video and add it to the back of your pennant to help it hang more securely, hide the ribbon and not move as much when hung.

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

If you're on a fence about creating a garden next If you're on a fence about creating a garden next year.... do it! While I personally don't eat everything we grow (not a pepper fan!), I do enjoy being outside, caring for the plants, and feeding friends and family!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
