Noah's 1st Birthday

Noah turned 1 on Tuesday March 20th. I can't believe it has been a year since our sweet little guy was born. My sister Laura came after church on Sunday and stayed with us until Tuesday night and my parents came on Monday and stayed until Thursday morning. We had such a good time having family stay with us. Amy and the kids were going to come but the twins got the flu and they decided not to share. The night before his birthday the Sister Missionaries came to dinner and we had some BBQ. They even brought Noah a present which he loves.

I dumped Noah's cake out of the pan and this is how it looked. Kind of cracks me up. Looks like a happy little frog or something.

Here are the cakes I made for Noah's birthday. It is the caterpillar from the beginning of the Baby Einstein videos.

Party time!

I have learned my lesson. Next birthday we won't be making dinner for everyone. :) It turned out really good but the day was insanely busy. I felt like I was rushing around all day and only got everything done because of the help Laura and my mom gave. Thank you both of you for your help. I really appreciate it. Most of Jason's family was able to come to the party and we had a good time. I'm glad we have such wonderful family.

This picture seriously cracks me up. He's looking at the cake as if to say, "What the heck are they going to do to me now?"

Trying to figure it out. Notice his little ankles crossed. He has them crossed most of the time and I love it.

He did not want the cake. Nor did he want me to continue to try to get him to eat the cake. :)

Sitting on Daddy's lap was better. I gave him a fork and he smashed the cake and fed Jason (his new favorite game).

The best shot I could get of me and my best little guy. He did not want to look at the camera.

I am so grateful to have him in my life. He seriously amazes me everyday and I love him so very much. He brings such joy to my life.

We went to the doctor a few days after his birthday and had his 1 year checkup.
