Well, it's true…my Bean is 6 months old (well he will be this week!) I feel like it was just yesterday that he was born. (Still can't thank Tabitha enough for those photos). Somehow it's true, he is getting to be a big boy now. He has been rolling over for awhile now and he can sit up and he inch worm crawls….he can get out of his bumbo (yes I know I have a houdini on my hands). In my family we celebrate anything and everything and that includes 6 month birthdays! I decided to go with an all American pastime as the theme..baseball!! It feels summery and hopefully one day he plays (yes it's my favorite sport!) He also had his very first food yesterday,he had avocado! He did pretty great with the spoon and he cried between bites because I wasn't feeding him fast enough! There's tons of photos (of course) so here we go!
 

This was Jack's mood board…I had this ready to go when I was getting details together for his party. It's a trick I learned from Nikki at Elite Events, she makes one for every client. Granted she is a professional at this and hers look way more awesome..but it definitely helped give me direction!

This was the first thing the guests saw, the invitation! I made 3D invites that looked like cracker jack boxes but the inside was all the party info!

Some of these ideas you might recognize from a party thrown by Elite Events…yes I tried to steal those ideas! Those girls do a great job and I cataloged ideas!

I got mason jars here. Added some grass for a centerpiece…can't bring in the whole ball field so I brought in a piece of the ball field!

I got this bucket from here. She makes decorated ones but I knew a plain one would be perfect to keep the coca cola cold!

I used these as favor bags! I got them here. She has some really cool stuff too!

These are actually cupcake toppers but I figured they'd look just as cute in the cookies! I got them here. You gotta check out her stuff, she does all kinds of great birthday details! You could get your whole party from her practically!

So the left photo was to let everyone know they can sign his baseball (that was his 'guestbook'…I learned normal guestbooks are out and you have to do something creative! …again from Nikki!) I got the tin from here. I used it to keep potato chips in! We kept the food simple, hot dogs, chips, lemonade and coca cola. It felt like ball park food!

I got these as favors for everyone (adults included) and so everyone got a prize! I did get one for me too, figured I could use a party favor! My prize inside was a little puzzle piece! So cute!

Each kid also got a baseball for a favor!

I got the coca cola caps from here. Thought it added a cool element. I also added the actual photo of him so you all know I didn't actually put a blue photo in a frame on display!

The banner I made, couldn't find one I liked!

I don't own six of the same chairs so we went ahead and mix matched chairs! Everyone had a different chair, gave it kind of an eclectic look!

Here are some of his cute guests!!

I like how half of Bean's guests are missing teeth and growing new ones!

Of course Aunt Tabitha came She did all the action shots of his first feeding below!

haha, feels like a coca cola ad!

Bean was wearing a cracker jack shirt to match his party theme! His shirt was made by Big Daddy graphics! I'm going to do his six month photos in it so you can get a really good view of it. They did a fantastic job!

Then it was time for his first ever bite of food, avocado! He just loved it!

He had quite the audience!

I was feeling joy watching him eat and love it so much! He just makes my heart melt and keeps my face so smiley!

He seriously would not let go of that spoon!

yup, all gone! Might be time to begin baby sign language!

Playing with his new toys!

Sweet angel boy, you have made these last 6 month of our lives the best ones yet! I am so glad you are mine and I am loving watching you grow and learn! We love you so much!!
