My Noah's Journey: 2014

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?
-Dr. Seuss

What a month. It feels like Noah started walking baby steps and now he is basically running, which keeps us constantly on our toes. He is the sweetest baby boy I have ever met and I am so thankful that he is apart of my life.

We made a trip out to the pumpkin patch

He wasn't too amused with the corn pit

But he LOVED the pony ride... cried lots of tears when it was over

What you lookin at?

On the wagon ride

Turning his nose up at us for wanting pictures

We loved our time at Mitchell Farms!

Noah got to play with some of his cousins this month!

She really is "the baby whisperer"

We took school pictures (which hopefully we will be getting back soon)!

Mrs. Sylvia found a doll that she said looked like Noah.... and strangely it really kinda does!

We had St. Jude's Trike-A-Thon

Philanthropies excite me too buddy

Poppin wheelies for St. Jude

Then it was Silly Week at school where each day was a different dress up day

I had way too much fun getting Noah all dolled up... costumes are my absolute favorite

Day 1: Pajama Day

Day 2: Western Day

Serious cowboy

My favorite

Starting practice early

Day 3: Superhero day

WOLVERINE

Day 4: Rockstar Day

(My personal favorite)

Stretching

Day 5: Costume Day

Oompa Loompa

And of course I want to dress up, too. So We have Violet Beauregarde to go with my oompa loompa

We went on a trip to the zoo

Where he picked up almost every single leaf

And made friends with all the goats

I just love my little man.

Happy 13 months, Noah!!

Words truly cannot describe the joy that my little nug brings me. He is my best friend, my mini me, or as my mom calls him, my little doll. Everyone always tells you that time will fly by, but you truly don't understand that expression until you've lived it. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was sitting outside on my back patio writing my special announcement that was Noah. I am truly blessed to have amazing family and friends who support me and Noah in everything that we do. Today was not only a celebration of Noah's birth, but it was a celebration of how God has changed my life for the better.

To my mom,

Thank you for showing me step by step how to be a good mother to Noah. You are an amazing one to me and I can only hope that one day I will be half as good as you are. Thank you for constantly reminding me to keep faith that God has reasons for everything and that He has to be our solid foundation. Thank you for supporting me and thank you for spoiling Noah. I am so grateful that Noah has you as a grandma (whatever your grandma name decides to be), and I feel very confident that he will be wrapped around your finger. Thank you for keeping me calm when Noah decides to poop in the tub and thank you for moving your coffee table out of the living room so that Noah can have a huge playroom. I love you so much and I don't know where either of us would be without you.

To my dad,

Paw Paw, you are the best grandpa that I would have ever wanted for Noah. Your love for him makes my heart swell and I know he feels the same for you. Thank you for loving us unconditionally and spoiling Noah in every way. Thank you for working extremely hard so that we can all have a very comfortable lifestyle. I love you so incredibly much! P.S. Please don't buy Noah a Harley until he is like 25.

To my friends,

Thank you for constantly being by my side and loving Noah and I. It is seriously unbelievable how incredible you all are. I appreciate y'all always being there for me when I need to talk or have a lunch date. Noah has the BEST aunties around!!!

Now on with the pictures.
