Baby Boy First Birthday Ideas

by Katie Wallace | Updated: January 25, 2017

Recently my baby celebrated his first birthday and with it being so soon after Christmas, I was unsure of how to make it special. I’m sure we will come up with creative birthday celebration ideas in the future, but this year we kept it simple with some fun cake photos, a few practical gifts and a fun little family party.

Baby's First Birthday and Sweet N Swag baby accessories

Fortunately my baby boy is easy to please but what 1-year-old isn’t?? This year has been such a blessing, watching my infant grow up into a little guy and learn new skills. He always has a smile for everyone and recently adopted his own one-of-a-kind wave to everyone he sees. I can’t wait to witness all he learns this year as my little guy discovers how to walk, talk, run and explore. For the big One-Year-Old Birthday, I outfitted my little man in a darling sweater vest and dapper baby moccs and a coordinating baby bow tie from Sweet N Swag. I’ve always loved accessorizing my little man with a bow tie; he definitely has the look for it!

This little guy didn’t need any gifts other than chocolate cake! I love these Sweet N Swag leather baby moccs. My little guy loves pulling his shoes off and I’ve actually lost several baby shoes because of it. These leather baby moccasins are simple and well designed, staying put and hugging his feet in all the right places. I love the fringe detailing and simple design that protects his feet while my baby boy learning how to walk. They also hold up very well, no scuffs to be seen yet. And they are warm when layered over simple socks, much better than when my little guy used to go barefoot because he was always pulling off his shoes.

Sweet N Swag baby accessories come beautifully packed in “gift-ready” packaging. I love the creative window box the baby moccasins came in and the bow tie was attached to a simple card that can be easily tucked into a gift bag. These baby boy bow ties and leather baby moccs are a darling and affordable gift for any new baby and baby shower.

Gorgeous Leather Baby Shoes

Sweet N Swag baby moccasins are lined with cotton to keep your baby’s feet dry & warm and the elastic opening comfortably hugs the foot and keeps the shoe in place. These leather baby shoes are made with flexible soft sole inserts allowing these baby moccs to double as crib shoes or walking shoes.

Each baby moccasin design is detailed with darling leather fringe and these leather baby shoes come in a variety of colors and even patterns! My favorite styles include these Modern Taupe baby moccs for my baby boy. If I had a baby girl I would choose the White Pearl, Lilac Gray, or light pink and gold dot Pretty N Pink baby moccasin styles. They are all so darling and only $20 a pair for beautiful high quality baby shoes!

Sweet N Swag review baby bow tie and moccasins

This little guy loves keeping up with his sisters, trying new foods and being included in everything our family does! He’s such a fun addition to our family; our first little boy! This first year has been filled with cuddles and he started crawling months before his sisters ever did; I think so he could keep up with them! He’s also “such a boy” with an adventurous spirit, interest in climbing and other boyish personality traits. After having two girls, I’ve loved seeing how my son’s baby behavior is different from his sisters as he grows into a rambunctious little boy.

I also love these darling Sweet N Swag baby bow ties. They are super easy to put on with adjustable elastic, gorgeously made and they come in a variety of neutral hues. Baby bow ties are perfect for milestone photos or just accessorizing your dapper baby boy! Sweet N Swag also offers suspenders, pacifier clips and hair bows that each coordinate with the many styles of leather baby moccasins.
