Noah's birthday was a wonderful day full of excellent moments and far too many pictures. It started with Noah sleeping in with Daddy and then noshing on his favorite breakfast, banana pancakes. Yummy!
After breakfast I continued one of my favorite traditions from my childhood, a present in the morning. Noah got a little lunchbox filled with uber-cool knee socks from my friend Kierstie.
Later in the morning, we opened presents from the family as we knew it would be a little crazy. It was; Noah was completely spoiled. But he had a good time getting new toys and books!
My mom gave us a book of baby sign language with flip cards. Great for helping us communicate better.
A few new race cars to join Noah's truck play.
Perhaps the most popular gift of the morning was a train ride-on toy from Tim. It has buttons and noises galore, just the way Noah likes it! 
Oh, and did I mention Noah is walking? His birthday was on a Friday and Noah took his first steps on Monday. By Friday he was toddling all over the house impressing his party guests!
Tim did a great job decorating for the party coming up with popular ideas. All the kids loved how he hung streamers from the blades of the fan that swirled while the fan was turned on.
Noah had two cakes because there were so many people coming for the party. The main cake featured a monkey, of course! And the candle was held in a little silver teddy bear holder I got as a momento from my Grammie's house.
This is the second cake I made. Covered in sprinkles for that party flair!
Barb hung the banner she and Noah made yesterday on the door. She also wrote welcoming messages to our guests on the sidewalk. It was very friendly.

As part of getting ready for his party, Noah had to get his birthday tattoo! It was a Curious George with party balloons. Perfect for my little monkey.
The party has finally begun and Noah played with guests Valerie and Mr. Bill.

Noah and his friend Jennifer enjoyed splashing in the pool even though it was a little cool and cloudy that day.
As you can see Noah had a lot of friends visit for his party. He is very blessed and lucky to be surrounded by so many friends and loved ones.
Waiting for the cake to arrive...
Ooh! Very surprised at the monkey cake.
Mommy helped blow out the candle.
Noah decided not to grab into the cake and smash it all over his face as everyone expected. Instead he very gently picked some of the prinkles off and ate them. What a goofy little boy!
We thought he might dive in after that first bite, you can see his whole hand went onto the cake, but no. Just another bite of frosting.
He was a happy little boy though for his birthday!
Yummy, tasting the cake for himself.
Hanging out with Aunt Liz. He got reminded many times how she was his first friend, meeting him when he was just two hours old!
Jude and Carrie digging in to some cake!
Lucas, Tim, and Grandpop hanging out, having some cake. Lucas insisted on having a piece of each kind of cake to ensure they were both equally delicious. :)
After cake we opened presents again. And Noah was spoiled again. His friends were very thoughtful and generous to his, choosing fun toys and fantastic clothes.
Hooray! Opening presents is fun!
Mommy had a little fun while we opened presents turning Noah into a present too.
After everyone left, Noah decided he might like a little more cake. So, we dug in.
What a wonderful first birthday! Thanks everyone for helping Noah celebrate his first year. It was the best year Tim and I have ever had. We are blessed in every minute we have shared with Noah.
