Noah's the Birthday Boy!

Yesterday was Noah's birthday! He's 5 years old now. I can't hardly believe that! How could my baby be 5 already!?!

He had a great day, filled with presents, cake and ice cream, and carving pumpkins! He asked us Saturday night if he could open one of his presents before we went to church (9AM) We told him that he could, but he'd have to be completely dressed for church, even his shoes. About 6AM he came in asking me to help him put his shirt on! He came back about 10 minutes later with his socks and shoes. I helped him put them on, told him to go wake everyone up and then he could open his presents. Since he was so good about getting dressed we let him open all of them. So, by 6:30 AM he had opened all of his presents and was ready for church! He spent the rest of his morning sitting on my bed playing with them.

Noah is just my super sweet, lover boy! He gives me hugs and kisses all the time and tells me that he loves me. He makes me laugh and brightens my day. He also makes me crazy and pushes his limits. It's exciting to see him grow and learn and change, but he breaks my heart too! He's my baby! Chad told me yesterday morning, that we're too young for our baby to be 5! I agree, but he'll always be my baby, even when he has has babies of his own!

Happy Birthday, Noah! We love you!
