Noelle is 1



Noelle turned one on Sunday! We had a low-key but fun time celebrating her birthday. We went and had donuts for breakfast (our birthday tradition), went to church, and came home to eat lunch and have cake. Luckily, with 2 older kids and a live-in Granny we have a built-in birthday party.

Ooh, presents, yummy:
"So big!"


No, this is not my house. We were at the donut shop and Noelle was tired of pictures by this time.


"Man, these people have been holding out on me. Donuts are GOOD."

Noelle continues to be a sweetie every day, but she has found her voice. She holds her own with the big kids, and loves to be in the middle of whatever they're doing. She's not walking (or even pulling up yet), but has mastered the Turbocrawl and can get wherever she wants quickly. Her favorite places are the bathroom, the pantry, and the laundry room. We keep those doors closed. She's a great eater right now, and drinks all her milk from a sippy cup. She still looks like a baby to me because she's crawling and her hair is still fairly short, and let's face it, she'll probably always be the baby to me.

No way you have got to be kidding me... there is no way that she is one... where does time go.. how does it just disappear without me even knowing it... your baby is one I know you must be so proud but a little sad... so I will be expecting to hear the news soon for #4...
