Birthday Party

We had a little shindig at home today to celebrate Noah's first birthday. Fun photos of the cake action below...

Pretty psyched about his new drum

Ice Cream!

Pretty excited about his first taste of ice cream

The Big Day

We started off Noah's first birthday with a cupcake... as you can tell,he was pretty happy with his breakfast. Opening a few presents...
Playing with his new blocks

Mimi, with a little help from Lily, brought the little man his SECOND cupcake of the day.

The Start of Birthday Celebrations

Noah celebrated his birthday a day early with cupcakes and blueberries with his friends at daycare...With his best bud, Kiya...
... and of course, his big sister joined in the fun, too!

Yum!

Noah is one!

More photos to come later this evening...

Feeding himself?

Or painting himself... guess it just depends on your point of view.

Noah hearts Lily

She takes his socks and wears them as mittens, she hitches a ride in his push wagon... but our little man simply cannot get enough playtime with his big sister. He loves her!

Eater

First taste of lasagna

Sibs

It's nearly impossible to get a shot of both kids looking at the camera... eureka!

Soccer Ball

Thought I'd balance out the magic wand blog post (can hear Jeremy's objection now!) with a shot of Noah enjoying a sports-related object.

Magic Wand

Noah is in his "transitional object" phase where he needs something in-hand when he leaves the house. He LOVES Lily's purple magic wand (a birthday day gift... thanks, Niki and Ava!) and she has been surprisingly great at letting him enjoy it. He will hang onto it for hours... when we run errands, he won't let it go even once we're home.
