Those same people give me the same look when I pull out my little gerber tupperwares with homemade chicken and peas or butternut squash and rice. <Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731848045878846550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510013791469741387.post-53322794752798791742008-04-16T16:22:00.000-04:002008-04-16T16:22:00.000-04:00I was right there with you on Boog's 1st birthday ...I was right there with you on Boog's 1st birthday party. And then you know what happened, my freakin' family (including my husband) happened. <BR/><BR/>Just like with the wedding I didn't want I found myself throwing a pizza party for a 1 year old and a bunch of adults. Granted I didn't spend that much and the family enjoyed themselves but still i didn't want to do anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510013791469741387.post-81602869930898006932008-04-16T14:41:00.000-04:002008-04-16T14:41:00.000-04:00I'm learning that it's a large portion of general ...I'm learning that it's a large portion of general population...Becoming Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196365719272632077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510013791469741387.post-24849331994718399472008-04-16T14:29:00.000-04:002008-04-16T14:29:00.000-04:00It must be so difficult hanging out with people wh...It must be so difficult hanging out with people who would give you flack for giving your child nutritious food!Kat - Housewife Confidentialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450849893251350882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510013791469741387.post-56201185053479270832008-04-16T13:23:00.000-04:002008-04-16T13:23:00.000-04:00As I said...different strokes.

No matter how big your family is. <BR/><BR/>We're going to the party, but I'll be bringing a Bento from home for Sasha. I'll get flack about it, but who cares. I really don't want him eating like that.

I am currently organising a first birthday party :)<BR/><BR/>We are having a joint baby party with several other babies at a picnic place in the woods nearby. Lots of family fun and picnics. It is a day about celebrating them and our families. I hope this is the beginning of a tradition.

I'm not trying to push it onto them and theirs, so why can't they mind their own business, UNLESS I ask them their opinion (Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731848045878846550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510013791469741387.post-34378361858825946442008-04-16T10:54:00.000-04:002008-04-16T10:54:00.000-04:00plenty of time for crap food when he is 11 if not ...plenty of time for crap food when he is 11 if not sooner.<BR/>As for 1st birthdays I know people who went both ways. <BR/>Small private family party (cause he wont remember)<BR/>and big blowout (last one till he is like 11)sheSaidC2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04054588577501686379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510013791469741387.post-39135444764333905502008-04-15T13:06:00.000-04:002008-04-15T13:06:00.000-04:00IMO, there is plenty of time for that.

But I'm with you on the hippy side of things, I guess.<BR/><BR/>Actually, out of most of the babies I know in this area, only 1 or 2 had a big 1st birthday. Most of my family and friends did smaller, family-only parties. <BR/><BR/>Of course, our close family-only party turned out to have 18 adults, 5 toddlers, 1 kid and 1 preteen.
