An editable chalkboard birthday poster that you can edit with your child’s name and stats and also change the color and fonts! This is perfect for a first birthday.
Today is my baby Oliver’s first birthday!
I can hardly believe he’s already a year. While I’ll admit the first few months were very hard, and some days I felt would never end…it really has flown by.
He has grown so much. He started out so small at just 5.5 lbs – I remember walking around holding him and feeling like I wasn’t holding anything.
He’s only about 19 pounds now (around the 15th percentile), but I am SO happy with that. He really struggle to gain weight for awhile. Forrest and I used to cheer every time we saw him go up 1/10th of a percentile. I remember distinctly when he finally broke the 0!
It’s weird to think back on our life before him – sometimes it just feels like that time didn’t even exist. How did we last so long without this sweet little spirit.
He truly brings so much joy to all of us. Jack adores him and loves being a big brother. He often tells me that he just waited so long for Oliver, and that our family just wouldn’t be the same without him.
And I have to agree.
I love these chalkboard birthday posters that are popular right now. So, I decided to make my own in Canva. It’s not as fancy as some that are available on Etsy, but I’m excited to print it off later today!
Because I made it in Canva, it is available to ALL of you to customize and print off for your little one as well.
Just enter your email below and you will get the instructions.
Happy Birthday to my Oliver!

I can open it but I can’t get it to the edit screen? Can you share the link with me?
Apryl says
I love your poster, but I can’t upload it on Canva unless you share it with me. Would you be able to do that? Thank you!
Katie says
Hmm, I’m confused why it’s not working! Whenever I open it in another browser, I don’t have an issue. What is the error it gives you? I’ll see if I can directly share the link with you 🙂
Apryl says
I clicked on your link and it pops up but there is not way to edit it. I set up an account.
Vin says
Hi, do you have the link, if so can you please send it to me? Thank you so much…

Shobana says
Hi Katie, am trying to use the chalkboard poster, but am not able to get it open in Canva to edit it…

Hmm do you have a Canva account set up?
