Two Birthday Parties

My cousin Kelley's little boy Ryan celebrated his second birthday on Saturday...he is TWO! Happy bday little guy :) I was glad to get to see him blow out his candles before heading to the second party.

The second Saturday party. Eliza's buds, Joey and Ansley turned 5 and celebrated their birthdays at Pump It Up and we all had a great time. I made it in time for cake and presents.

Noah's one-year check-up

Noah had his 1 year check-up today, and he did great! He was 30" long (55%) and weighs 21lbs. and 4oz (30%). He did have to get 2 shots, but he only cried for a minute...he's a tough little guy. He also gets to face-forward in his carseat now...he's big! Eliza loves having him the new way...just like her ;). Way to go Noah!

Noah's 1st Birthday Party!

Noah's party was rained out...so the party at the park ended up at our house. Noah had a great time...he especially loved when everyone sang happy birthday to him...all smiles! He loved his cake a little bit too...tasty! Thanks to everyone for coming to celebrate his first birthday with us.

Cake time!

We had a small cake today to celebrate sweet Noah's 1st birthday...needless to say, he LOVED it!

Noah is 1 today!

We cannot believe that this year has passed by so quickly...it seems like a minute ago that we brought him home from the hospital to our new little world. We are so blessed to have him and Eliza...they teach us new things all the time, and we teach them a couple of things too I hope.

Noah began to walk this week (about 7 steps at a time now)...and it looks like he's not going to sit still much at all now. He loves to play with Eliza...for a little while at least. He eats everything in sight...and wants all things forbidden. He knows what he's not suppose to have or do, so when he gets it or is doing it and we come toward him...he looks like he's moving 1oo miles an hour...to do it or have it a little while longer. For example, he loves to walk over to the window, and then look at you. Next he begins to slowly play with the blinds, once he knows your coming, he hits the blinds as quickly as possible until you raise them or move him, and he is laughing hysterically the entire time. He's gonna be a handful of trouble I think.

He can say a few words, dada, yiza (Eliza), bye-bye, cacka (cracker), ball, and his new word Eliza taught him to say....TOP (but it means STOP) all caps are because he yells it. He is sooo sweet and already pretty funny too. We all love him so much...what a sweet blessing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Noah!!!
