He's 1!!!!

Noah's first birthday cake. It was a delicious banana cake with cream cheese frosting made by his loving Mommy and Daddy.

Grandpa Robert sent Noah a monkey.


Noah loves the monkey.


Noah kisses the monkey.



We had a birthday party at Grandma Paula and Grandpa Art's. This is Cousin Jadon looking cool.



Jadon shows Ada and Cousin Katherine how to play.



Navi like eating puzzle pieces.


Noah is ready to get presents started.



Noah wasn't really that excited about opening the gifts, so Olivia had to help.



The kids loved playing with the tissue paper.







Noah really likes his new set of keys.



Cousins Markus and Katherine had fun playing with (and in) the box.


Birthday cake time!


I can eat with a fork!


This is pretty yummy frosting!


I can eat with my face, too!


A baby spoon is a much better utensil.


I love this cake!


I will wave my magic spoon and make Mommy and Daddy think that this counts as dinner!


Noah provided some after cake entertainment.


Of course every piano player who can't reach the pedals should cross their feet.


Playing with his new toy.


The monkey (who has been named Mona by Noah) and Noah played dress up.


What a happy first birthday!

Our handsome almost 1 year old

Moving a magnet with a spatula...what great fun!


Ta Da!! I got it!


The Olympics are in full swing. Here's Noah enjoying the Biathlon.

Ada and Navi's birthday party

Navarro and Adalina Lopezjones just turned 1, so we went to their place to celebrate and enjoy their new rooftop deck!

These red cups were the hit of the party!


Spoons were fun, too.


Handsome birthday boy.



Beautiful birthday girl
(excuse the bruises; learning to walk is hard)


The birthday kids and their loving daddies.


Ada wanted to eat Noah's blue cake.


Noah did not want to eat his blue cake.


Navi loved his blue cake!


The three little ones had a great time playing under the table with the juice bottle. Look at that look on Navi's face!


Noah decided he needed a drink after all that fun!

Noah's 1st Haircut

Noah needed a haircut.


It was getting too long.


He started out in a race car chair with a balloon.


He wasn't really sure about this.


Okay, this is horrible! Get me out of here!


He ended up in Olivia's lap, but struggled anyway.


Amazingly, he got a nice cut!


How she managed to get it this straight, I have no idea!

Spoon Skills

While we were at Grandma and Grandpa's the other day, Noah showed us that he could use a spoon.

He was pretty messy, but he's learning.

Okay, not a spoon, but this is what happens when you give Noah a whole banana. He's still working on portion control.

Check out those spoon skills! He's quite the utensil user!

The Puppy Bowl!

We watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, but before that, Noah watched Puppy Bowl VI. He loved watching the doggies!

Did you get that?

Noah is constantly babbling. Here he is "reading" a Christmas card.

Crazy Hair!

Peek-a-Boo + Fuzzy Blanket = Static Hair!

Of course he has the mouse in his hand. He loves his kitty toy!
