Sock Monkey First Birthday Celebration

Today's first birthday party feature from Studio Moirae {Jasen + Christy} is nothing to "monkey" around about! The birthday boy is actually the couple's son Piven, who as you are about to see, totally takes the cake at his first birthday celebration. I really love all the coordinating designs and colors seen throughout this photoshoot and how about all of those desserts? {YUMMY!}

There are even matching cupcake toppers to fit the theme - courtesy of Classy Momma.

Piven is dressed to impress with his Sock Monkey Tie and Polkadot Suspender Onesie from Nomies 4 Monsters and matching Sock Monkey Hat from Eternally Hooked.

I {LOVE} that Piven was given the chance to really dig into his birthday cake...literally...and that expression on his face once he had finished is PRICELESS!

Time to enjoy some old fashion Coca-Cola and some adorable personalized cookie jar favors before the party comes to a close.

Before the party ends, there is a chance to reflect back on Piven's First Year with this creative first year photo clip banner from 62 Cards, who also created the adorable custom PIVEN banner seen earlier.

What better way to end the celebration and pay tribute to an amazing first year, than with a balloon release that Christy describes as "a symbolic moment that I wasn’t seeing in real time". I have to agree, I am in {LOVE} with this idea of releasing the balloons to represent the transition from baby to toddler...and it looks like Piven enjoyed it too!
