Lol🤪😂” It came after she talked about how she “didn’t go overboard for his 1st birthday party.” She added, “Daxton, you won’t remember your 1st birthday but one day you’ll see all of these beautiful/ funny memories! Your 1st year has been so fun! Lets go for 2! (sic).” And,  a lot of fans agreed that at the age of one, a big party seems a bit over the top.

One Amy King follower pointed out that when she has more kids, she might go for bigger first birthday parties. That’s because the older siblings “love a party.” But, with just one child in the home, others agree Amy’s probably right. After all, the little one won’t understand what’s going on, And, the chances they even remember it at all are very small.  A fan commented, “Love this! Congrats mama! 1st year really is a milestone for mommy and daddy! The parties do get better and better .”
