Happy Birthday Grama!!!

Today is my Grama's birthday!!! I wasn't feeling so hot today, so Mommy didn't want to make me pose for pics, but there will be some to come. I LOVE YOU GRAMA!!! --- NOAH

Birthday Boy

One year ago, I was introduced to the love of my life. Noah Tate is one today and just like I knew it would time has flown by. He is such a fun little guy right now and makes every day fun. He is discovering and exploring new things everyday, and his curiosity at the world just amazes us. He doesn't seem anywhere close to walking yet, but he is always on the move. He is learning new words all the time, still eating good, still sleeping good and making me love him more and more all the time.

Unfortunately, Noah isn't feeling to well on his birthday. I think he just has a cold, but we thought he might have the flu for a while there because his fever got a little high. When his fever was up, he was my snuggly little guy again. When his fever was down he wanted no part of me cuddling with him; he had things to do.

We did manage to go to Walmart to get him a new movie (which he didn't like, he only like 1 Baby Einstein) and a birthday baloon. We also went outside for a short wagon ride so he could enjoy his birthday a little bit.

Since it was his birthday and he didn't feel good, he got to have his Noony outside of the bed.

Playing Outside

The weather has been so nice lately that we have been spending our afternoons outside. Whenever you ask Noah if he wants to go outside, he will start screaming "oouuu daaa" until you take him outside. We have learned not to ask him if he wants to go, until we are actually heading out the door.


This is as close to walking as he gets right now. Sometimes, he will push the hippo while on his feet but only a few steps.

Holding the bubbles. He loves me to blow them, but only so he can play with the cap. He doesn't seem to interested in the bubbles yet. He also likes to hand them to me and then take them back and repeat this over and over.

Playing in the "wa wa". In this case it means wagon, it can also mean water, and probably a few other things.

It was a little cooler on this day, but the way he props his feet up and just chills out in his wagon cracks me up.

So Happy to be outside.

Birthday Party

Saturday was Noah's first birthday party. We had about 25 family members "swing" by for our Monkey themed birthday party. Our friend Jeremy took a lot of pictures of the action and I haven't received those yet from him, so these are just some of the pictures from my camara. Most of them are from before and after the party. I will be posting more once I get them.

Noah was a little overwhelmed by all the attention and wasn't in the best mood. I guess we threw a lot at him at once. We thank everyone for coming and for the wonderful gifts that you brought. He is enjoying them all.

Yes, you will see two outfits in these pictures. The cupcake outfit was made by Eric's mom. Noah looked precious in it, but we are going to get his picture taken in it next week and I didn't want it to get messed up with cake and such. Therefore, you will also see a monkey shirt on him that I had made so he could match the theme of his party.

Lookin a little worried at what is about to happen.

Thanks Gammy, I love my outfit and I know I look cute.

Grama entertained me before the party started and taught me a new word. Baaabbbooon!!! (balloon)

This pretty much sums up the attitude of the day.

Mrs. Kristy made me this yummy, precious cake.

Havin fun with my PawPaw

Finally some smiles!!!

LSU vs Florida Game

October 10th was the biggest game in Tiger Stadium in a long time. #1 Florida came to town to play #4 LSU. Eric and I were lucky to have Gammy and Poppy come in to watch Noah so we could go to the game and tailgate all day. Unfortunately it was a rainy yucky day and LSU lost the game, but we had a great time regardless.


Thanks Gammy and Poppy!!!
