My Grayson was born 10lb 0oz. I knew almost immediately that his first birthday would be the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Then, at six months, when Grayson started on solids, he loved all foods, even broccoli. It further confirmed that this little man’s first birthday would be Hungry Caterpillar.

I was excited to be able to use some creative freedom for his set. Everything on Pinterest was fairly cookie cutter and I wanted different. I started brain storming about his set early and I even painted the backdrop myself.

How did you decide your child’s first birthday theme? I would love to hear in the comments below.
