Growth chart

My beautiful little niece Indie turned 1 last month
and I had been tossing up ideas for what I should get her for weeks.
It's her first birthday and it had to be special! 
So as you do, I naturally went to Mr Google. 

Now this probably did me more harm than good as I also
have a little girl the same age and as I scrolled, I spent  a descent chunk of that time mentally  purchasing items that I would be lusting over for another several weeks, not to mention I'm super easily distracted and a simple task of finding a birthday pressent turned into a Facebook/Pinterest/ 10 episode revenge marathon- whoops.

Anyway I had narrowed my options to some personalized books a 
little couch and of course some clothes, but I still couldn't decide. 
None of these seemed right, she was one, I only get this birthday once and I wanted it to be something that she would be able to appreciate as she gets older. What's something that I could give her that was just for her, that nobody else would get her and that had my own personal creative touch? 

Well with a wee bit of Pinterest inspiration , I came up with this?



Her own growth chart! What other time in your life is more perfect to start recording your growth than your first birthday.
I was stoked with how it came out!

What did you get your kids for their first birthday?
