Noah's Birthday Weekend...Party 2!

We had a great birthday party with Noah and most of his family this past weekend. But Grammy, Grampy, Nanny, Poppy, The Borges and half the Delahanty family came to visit. The Harney's were missing and we were all glad we got to see them last month. Sarah and Max couldn't make it, but we saved them Elmo hats. Noah wore his party hat til he realized there was something on his head....Then he wanted no part of it! But he had lots of help celebrating as you can see.He got so many great presents and toys! It was lucky that Samantha and Benjamin were there to help him open his gifts. And one thing Noah is learning, is that you always say "Thank You" before you play with any present. Here he was giving Auntie Marci a great big Thank You Hug.And dinner was great (if we do so say ourselves!). We had a cookout with hamburgers, ribs, and hotdogs. Noah loves Hebrew National hotdogs though he's not yet using mustard and relish. But we had dinner outside. The weather was great, our family was there, and we all had such a great time! We think these 2 are going to be great friends. Soon Samantha will be old enough to help babysit!After dinner the kids all went for a ride. The big strong kids got to do all the pushing and pulling!And then BIRTHDAY CAKE. But we also got to celebrate Benjamin's birthday last week and Poppy's Birthday next week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH, BEN ("Benjamin" didn't fit on the cake!), & POPPY!And for those of you who were there you know there was cake everywhere!

And now that Noah is 1 year old, he's eating like a big boy and hasn't had baby food in almost a week. And he's not so sure he wants to be drinking out of that bottle...but at least we could do is give him a clean cup!What a great week for all of us, and what a great birthday. Noah seems so happy (except when you take his puffs away) and is growing and changing so fast we can barely keep up.

We had lots more fun this weekend, and more pictures to show everyone. So hopefully we'll have time to update more in a day or two!

Love to all......

Happy Birthday Noah! The first party.

It can't be a year since we started this blog! Everyone tells us it will all go by so fast, but we just can't believe Noah has turned one! We had lots of celebrating this week, and lots of fun pictures to share with everyone.

The first party was Tuesday, August 14. Noah woke up to find his first birthday present all ready to play with. Giddie Up!

Then Erin (Noah's Nanny) came over and Noah wasted no time opening up his next present! He tore right into the paper. It was so nice and thoughtful of her....He really liked the great toy garage, but LOVED playing with the paper!

He also went for a ride with his balloons!

That night Noah ate his first hot dog, and loved it. He clearly takes after his dad!

Marybeth was there, and brought Noah a very fun and very LOUD lawn mower to push around. And Noah's friend Joey (and Joey's mom and dad) came over to celebrate. Noah loved the his new sand box and loved crawling around on the box! Thanks Joseph!

Kathy really planned a great party with Elmo balloons, hats, bibs and.....

And when it was all over, this little guy just kicked backed to relax, have a drink and chill out.

And that was only the first party for our little birthday boy. We had a great family birthday weekend, and lots more fun pictures are coming!!
