Today Noah turned one! What a year it has been. The past few days I have been reflecting on the whole birth process and how scared I really was underneath. Not about the physical dangers I was facing with the kidney failure and blood pressure issues but about whether or not I was ready to be a mother. And if I could really do it. And then he was there, tiny, beautiful, perfect. Our whole family just fell in love. Noah is a wonderful baby. He has a sweet laid back temperament and boundless joy. He is a good sleeper and loves to laugh. We couldn't have asked for a better start to parenthood. Not only have we fallen in love with Noah over the past year but we have fallen deeper in love with God. We see His hand more and more as He guides and protects our little family. We learn to trust and lean on Him more than ever before. We have also fallen deeper in love with each other. God created Adam to be the perfect complement to me as a person, wife and mother.Noah has brought us closer together. We both have enjoyed this year so much and look for many more firsts to come!

So did Adam wear that shirt all year long?
You've heard of ball players not washing socks, well, same here. I wore that sweatshirt everyday for an entire year, never washing it. It was my good luck, anti-SIDS shirt.
Actually, I decided to wear it because that's what I wore the day he was born. I don't know the significance of that, but it seemed cool. I might do that every year till one day my fat busts the sweatshirt open.
happy birthday, noah! and, congratulations, carrie! i remember when my first turned one and i felt so sad and a huge sense of accomplishment at the same time. you are doing a great job! love the pictures...and the cake looked amazing!
