Here it is up close and personal ♥

Here is my new tattoo! I LOVE it! I got it done this morning at a studio in Jackson. Ever since Noah was born I have wanted to get one for him but I just hadn't. Since he's just turned one it has really been on my mind so...Noah and I went yesterday afternoon and made me an appointment. I can't say enough how much I love it! Let me know what you think...

Noah's 1st Birthday Party

Well it's happened. My baby has turned one! This past Friday Noah had his first birthday. Yes, it was "Friday the 13th" lol suprisingly everything turned out very well! I was so stressed that day, I was running around from place to place picking up things and decorating, it was pure craziness! We had his party in the gym at our church and it was as close to perfect as you can get. The kids all played good together, Noah was in a great mood. It was just wonderful. And I didn't even cry! Above is him eating his cake. He actually didn't get too messy. Well his hands and his face were covered but his clothes didnt get dirty and he didn't rub it in his hair or anything, which was great. Then there's the picture of him in his radio flyer. He loves this thing! I got it for him for this past Christmas but we had already gotten him so much that we decided to wait and give it to him for his birthday being that they are only 2 months apart. I got it off clearance at wal-mart. I love clearance aisles! Especially at christmas, I looked at them everytime I went in wal-mart during christmas. Anyways back to the car (I have a tendancy to wonder unto other subjects) he loves this little car so much! Noah will just steer the little steering wheel and push the blinker and radio buttons. I pushed him around the neighborhood in it yesterday. We will really have some fun with that little car when it gets warmer!

I never in a million years would have thought this day would come so soon. One year ago tomorrow my little boy was born. I can't believe it! I absolutely cannot believe it. Here you can see Noah in his birthday hat. I made him try it on for pictures tonight. I figure tomorrow after cake and all, that green hat will most likely have brown spots all over it from his little cake covered fingers! So much has happened over the past year, it has flown by big time. I say this all the time, it feels like we came home from the hospital the day after he was born and I blinked and now here we are, my baby is turning 1. I'm sure I will be one of those Mommy's who cry at the 1st Birthday Party. Maybe for the sake of the guests I will hold it in until we get home. I almost cried today just talking about it with my in laws. I love my little Noah so much. I just don't want him to grow up so soon, I don't want him to stop wanting Mommy for everything. I know that day will come eventually, but I'm not ready for it yet.
