Look Out -- Noah's One!


Noah turned one-year-old on the 14th of July. He had a fun little birthday!


Hailey and Tanner made little cards to put on Noah's gifts and he genuinely loved the cards! He kept carefully opening them and turning them over and over. Kids had a hard time getting him interested in unwrapping the presents!


The ball popper got a lot of giggles!


Noah couldn't keep his hands off the cake while we sang "Happy Birthday" to him.


Needless to say, he didn't hesitate once he had a piece in front of him -- he grabbed it and shoved it in his mouth! We didn't expect that because when both Hailey and Tanner turned one, they just poked their first piece of cake for a while before eating it. Not Noah -- carpe diem, baby!


Gone like that!

Noah started walking the week of his birthday and he loves trying to keep up with his big brother and sister. He's such a little mimicker; he tries to put clothes on, talk on the phone, sing at church, make car sounds, and he gets such a kick out of waving styrofoam swords and light-sabers around just like the big kids! Noah loves to read books. He loves the water in whatever form he can get it in; the bathtub, the pool, or the toilet!! He definitely makes sure his voice is heard in our noisy little house; he is an expressive little guy! Brandon and I laugh to ourselves because after we named him, we found out what the name Noah means: "peaceful"! He's far from that, but we love the little guy anyway! We can't imagine our family without him!
