Happy 2nd Birthday HANK

Well, goodbye baby boy - hello TERRIBLE TWO's!!! Hank turned 2 today. He was so super excited about it being his birthday. He had a great party with Ryliegh Mayer last night. She turned THREE! Thank you so much to Austen, Ayden, Easton, Mason, Dawson, Brian, & Madox for coming to the party. They had fun playing musical chairs, pin the nose on the clown, getting their faces painted and the goldfish toss! (sorry parents, hope your goldfish are still alive!!!) Hank has been playing with all of his toys that he got. He is really into Monster Trucks right now. I think he is going to turn into a monster truck! Thank you so much Candace for the cute cake! This morning we have been lighting candles all through the house and singing Happy Birthday to Hank just so that he can blow the candle out! It is so funny. Watch the short video below of Hank eating cake for breakfast (what can I say it is his birthday) and singing "Happy Birthday Hank".

Guess What??? Paris Baby is MOVING to Paris Feb 2nd!

Melissa & I have started a Blog so that you can keep up with PARIS BABY and what is going on with us and our families. We love to read everyone else's blogs, so we thought a blog for Paris Baby would be great. We meet so many great people each day and such cute babies in our store that we want to share our stories with you all!

My name is Tabitha Blackburn, and I am a co-owner of Paris Baby with Melissa Gordon ( http://parisbabytexas.blogspot.com/ ) and I also work for Lamar County Coalition as the Program Coordinator. I have the best husband in the world, Craig, and two awesome boys - Brian is 7 (going on 16) and Hank will be 2 next Sunday. We are definately starting to understand the term "terrible two's"! Our family and friends have been more than 100% supportive of Paris Baby.

Paris Baby is MOVING to a new space. We opened a little over 4 months ago in Blossom, next to Blossom Hardware (Thanks Craig for the free start), but now we are moving to Paris. The opportunity came upon us quicker than we ever expected! We have had a wonderful start in Blossom, but there is not any room to grow there (we begged Craig for more space - but apparently he needed a spot for his hardware, haha). So beginning FEB 2nd Paris Baby will be located at:
803 24th Street
Paris, Texas
(Next door to Taylor Glass & Small Town Girls Boutique)
Please still come see us at the Blossom location until January 31st!!!
We have been working so hard on getting the new space ready. Thank you so much to my mom (Trish) and Ronny for spending your Saturday afternoon painting the entire space for us! Melissa and I went polka dot crazy in there and we don't know what we would do with without our AWESOME husbands! I mean, they can do anything and really don't grunt too much about what we ask them to do!
But the tricky part is to come. We will be spending Feb 1st moving our inventory and furniture to the new location. Do you know what FEB 1st is? SUPERBOWL - do you think our husbands are going to help? We are still trying to figure that one out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please check back periodically - I will TRY to keep this updated as much possible!
Paris Baby is truely a dream that is coming true.................
My Boys - Hank & Brian
