Noah's FIRST Birthday

Sunday, February 1st our family and friends gathered in our home to celebrate Noah's first birthday. I can still remember his birth like it was yesterday. One of the first things I noticed about Noah was how big his hands were. And everything about him has been big ever since-not just his size. His personality is HUGE. He loves hard and he snuggles sweet. He has typical tantrums, but they pass just as suddenly as they begin. He is the perfect addition to our crazy family and I couldn't imagine life without him.

You could tell that he knew the party was for him. He was the life of the party and was ecstatic the entire time. His cousins and our friends kids were here, so he had plenty of kids to play with and thought he was a big boy for keeping up with all of them. 

I made superhero masks for all of the kids and capes for my three. It was cute watching all of them in their superhero costumes.

He had never had cake before, so he had no idea what to think of it. After helping him dig into it, he was in LOVE!

The after party consisted of a balloon fight with Big Sister. It was his first and quite possibly his favorite part of the party.

We also managed to get a family photo out of the day. Family photos are a lot more difficult than they used to be...but this is real life, right?!

My favorite part about this photo is that we're all blurs. Except Madelynn. So it's like she froze time. Hahahaha!

Sweet Noah, my prayer for you for this lifetime is that you are always true to yourself and honor God first and foremost. Don't follow the crowd, don't try to fit in. Stand up for what is right and be a leader. Lead with love, but don't let it weaken you. I love you so much, my little man.
