A quick update to catch everyone up...
October was a very nice month. We found Noah an adorable pirate costume and decided to make it a family affair. Aaarghhh! We took Noah trick-or-treating and it was very fun (for Thomas and I). Noah got a little cranky and tired, so it was an early night=)
On November 21st we baptized Noah. It was nice to have everyone out to our house for that very special occasion.
David, Tina, Father John, Noah, Me, and Thomas
In November we also enjoyed a very nice Thanksgiving dinner at my grandma's house. It was Noah's first and he ate turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans, and bread. He was stuffed=)
December was extremely busy, but we made sure to take time to enjoy the holidays. Decorating the Christmas tree and putting the lights on the house was fun. Noah loved the Christmas lights and enjoyed pulling the ornaments off the tree. I'm sure we told Noah "no" about 1,000 times while the tree was up, but he just couldn't resist all the pretty colors and lights. I had to re-wrap at least 5 gifts because he opened them as soon as I put them under the tree=) We celebrated our Christmas on the 23rd since we were going to be at my mom's for Christmas Eve and Day. Noah enjoyed unwrapping the presents more that the actual toys, but that's okay because he's growing into them now.
January 3rd was Noah's 1st birthday. It's amazing how fast that year went...We had his party on the 2nd and went to the Los Angeles Zoo on his birthday. It was an exhausting weekend, but it was worth every bit of hard work=) Also, Noah started walking. He was taking steps since the beginning of December, but he really started going shortly after his birthday.
The birthday boy!
February we celebrated my birthday (the big 2-7 for those of you that are curious). I think I'll stop counting from this point on=) Thomas spoiled me by bringing me flowers and a gift and baking me a cake and made me dinner! It was a great day that I was thankful to spend with Noah and Thomas.
My funny little Valentine
That finally leads us into March. Noah is growing so fast he's hard to keep up with! The little monster loves to run and play outside and be on-the-go constantly. He loves to go to Starbucks and wave to every single person sitting there=) He loves throwing rocks (thanks to Thomas) and going to the park. He says tree, Jesus, hi, daddy, toes, and that (very random vocabulary). He likes to give kisses and hugs, but it has to be on his terms. He likes to shake his head "no" when it's naptime and just started throwing these funny little tantrums. He's hardheaded and stubborn (I have no idea where he got that from) and has a unique personality. Thomas and I laugh more everyday because of our silly little boy. I can't believe how fast he's growing! He'll turn 15 months on April 3rd.
We have a busy year ahead of us. Thomas has been busy applying for jobs to see if he can get something lined up before getting out of the Army. If not, then he'll be reenlisting at the end of the summer and we'll start a new adventure. I'm trying to get back to school, but with my busy little guy and Thomas' crazy work schedule it's very difficult to find the time. Hopefully, we will work something out by the end of the year. I think that's about it for the update. I'll definitely work on posting more often. Now we are off to finally enjoy some family time!
