Happy 1st Birthday Noah!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Noah!!! It is amazing to think that it has been one whole year since you were born. It seems like only yesterday you were making your arrival into our little family. Each and every day with you is a new and joyous blessing. We celebrated your first birthday with your favorite character - Elmo! Grammy and Papa flew out to join us on your special day. You were excited by the birthday balloons that we got for your birthday bash. You loved yanking on them and they made you laugh when they would bop you on the head. You worked your way through all the gifts that you recieved with a little help from Mom and Dad. But I think your favorite part of your day was definitely the cake. You did a good job eating your little Elmo 'smash cake' and got icing everywhere! I loved seeing how much you enjoyed it. It has been an incredible year, Little Man. We absolutely adore you and look forward to so many years and birthdays ahead. We love you!

Noah's First Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! Noah enjoyed his first Valentine's day -- He got a lot of books, a Cupid Cookie Monster, a giant Elmo and more books from the girls at work, Clifford suckers and some heart peeps. He loved all of it! The giant Elmo sure made him smile. He also got a big box from Aunt Amie with Baby Einstein videos and a whole bunch of Baby Einstein character puppets. What a cool Valentine's/Birthday gift!! Thanks Aunt Amie!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Hope you have a wonderful day spent with the ones you love! I snapped a few photos of Noah for our valentine's this year and loved how they turned out. We loved two of them so much, we had two different valentine's cards that we sent! My favorite was the roses and Doug's favorite was Noah munching on the chocolates. Loved them both so much, I couldn't choose!

Airplane

Papa got Noah this rocking wooden airplane - and he loved it! He loved to ride in it and also he adored turning the propeller around and around. He had a fixation on anything that would spin. I had to snap a few pictures of our boy with his airplane!

Standing

We got together with some long time friends, John and Sara Vagedes to watch some football. Noah practiced standing and balancing while we were there. It won't be too much longer until this boy of ours is toddling all over the place...

Learning To Walk

Noah loves to push this little walker my mom got him for Christmas all around the house. He will zip up and down the hall with it and we know it won't be too long before he'll be running around on his own!

Meeting Great Grandma & Grandpa Estes

Noah got to meet his Great Grandma and Grandpa Estes on our trip to St.Louis. He had never met his Daddy's grandparents and they were to glad to finally meet him! He did great and was happy to sit in their laps and get loved on. So good to finally see Grandma and Grandpa and have them meet their new great grandson!
