Happy First Birthday!!

Noah's First Birthday was tons of fun! Although, the weather could have been nicer - it was cold and drizzling - Noah didn't mind one bit. He loves to be outside so he couldn't have been happier that he was allowed outside to wander as he pleased for hours.

We had lots and lots of family and friends over to help us celebrate and we thank each and everyone for making Noah's first birthday so special. Noah ate up lots of fruit and then got his first crack at some sweets. He liked the cool whip frosting, but didn't try to eat the actual cake. I guess thats a good thing! Noah was treated very well and got lots of presents. He especially loves his tricycle that mom-mom and pop-pop Jim got him. It took Mommy and Daddy a few days to recoperate and clean-up, but it was so worth it.

On Noah's actual birthday, we met up with the Fabiszak family to celbrate Granny and Pop-Pop's 40th Wedding Anniversary! Afterwards we went up to the local fair and Noah got a balloon and lots of compliments on his new ride. Then we headed back over to Granny and Pop--Pop's for a second chance on the cake. At least the second time around he made more of a mess, but still didn't care too much for the sweets - he sure doesn't take after his mommy in that department!

Almost One!

I can't believe we are a week away from Noah's first birthday. It seems like so long ago since he was a tiny newborn just home from the hospital crying often and never wanting to sleep and we were wondering what did we get ourselves into? How far we've come since those first few days and how I thought to myself I can't wait till he's a little older and now he is almost one and I think to myself - stop growing up so fast! It is absolutely amazing to watch how much a baby grows in this first year. He continues to amaze us all the time at how quickly he learns new things.

Noah now has 6 teeth! 3 on the bottom and 3 on top with 2 more about to break through up top. He loves to use them to eat! His favorite food is fruit especially watermelon. Noah had spaghetti with sauce recently for the first time and loved it - we got a few pictures, but it wasn't as messy as I thought it was going to be. We'll make sure to post plenty of pictures of Noah's big day!
