1st Birthday Balloons for Boys

October 3, 2009

1st birthday balloons for little boys come in so many different shapes, sizes, and themes it seems almost impossible to choose.  I do, however, recall when my oldest son had his first birthday.  Even at such a young age we knew he was destined to play sports.  He could throw a baseball with amazing precision and could catch, too, and not just if you plopped the ball into his small, infant hands.

We had no choice, we had to go with a baseball theme.  He had baseball outfits for boys already, an infant ball and bat, and even his own baseball glove by that time.  It wasn't as if we regretted not having a choice.  It actually made it so much easier because we already knew what he liked.  We knew he'd be thrilled to see his favorite sport emblazened on a ton of balloons.

We found a baseball shaped Mylar balloon that said Happy 1st Birthday! and we made two cakes - both with baseball patterns on them.  One for him to eat and destroy and one for the rest of us.  His smile and the sheer joy he showed and aat having his family celebrate him, his family singing to him, and the freedom to play in his own cake are stuck with me eternally.  My baby will be sixteen in less than six months but I remember his 1st birthday like it was yesterday.
