My baby is 1 already??

How is it possible that my baby is 1 already? I have pondered this question alot since last Thursday...the day of the big happening. I clearly remember April 8, 2008...the day we spent 18 hours in labor only to end the delivery with a c-section at 3:26 am and one beautiful little boy who was perfect in every way. It feels like yesterday we were bringing him home, so i have mixed emotions about how and where this last year has went...but I will tell you this...it has been the best year of my life. Noah has taught me so many lessons as I have strived to be the best mom possible...but more than anything he has added to our little family in ways I can't even describe. I can't remember life without him in it...he just fits so perfectly and makes it so much better...and interesting!
Noah is/does/has:
-25 pounds (75%)
-30 inches (50%)
-has 8 teeth and loves to bite (don't let his mouth get near your fingers),
-loves grapes, green beans, m&m's and anything sweet,
-loves snuggly, soft blankets and stuffed toys,
-enjoys torturing Oscar and pulling his ears,
-loves climbing and scaling everything,
-loves being outside and cries when he has to come in regardless of how cold it is,
-loves watching his cousins run around,
-enjoys books and being read to,
-loves laughing and has the cutest giggle you've ever heard,
-makes the world a better place for his Dad and I.



Our birthday boy!



Every birthday boy needs a party hat!!


His tractor cake (yes, i made it and i'm proud of it)!!


It didn't take him long to figure out the whole cake was his to demolish and he did a good job of it!


Happy 1st birthday little man! I love you!

So fun, he is so very cute. I am with you all the way, the time goes so fast I have learned recently to cherish every moment with our children because we never know when they will be taken from us. I just had a friend who's 5 week old baby passed away. It makes you just hold your own baby and never want to let go. We will definitely have to get together at the park this summer!!
