Splash Park at the Zoo

Today we went to the splash park at the Zoo. It was awesome! It took Georgia a few minutes to warm up but once she did she had a blast! Noah never warmed up to the idea but he enjoyed watching from his stroller! Don't worry, I know I have a fair skinned little red head, she has on plenty of sunblock! These were taken with my phone and turned out much better!

These were taken with my awful camera...sorry!

I know this photo turned out blurry (most of them did!) but it shows how much fun she was having!

My baby boy is a year old!

Yesterday was my little Noah's first birthday. Today we just spent most of the day at home (except for visiting Chad at Macaroni Grill!) because we celebrated with family last Sunday. Here are a few highlights from his actual "birthday" last year and the celebration of his first year last week!

Here we are at my shower just over a year ago! With Georgia getting ready to meet her brother! On our way home for the first time as a family of 4!

Proud Mama.

Georgia meeting Noah for the first time.

Proud Papa and Mamaw. (Nana was the photographer, again camera issues, we forgot ours and so my dad got us a disposable in the goft shop).

Now for this year!

Noah LOVED his cake. He dug right in and ate over half then cried when I took the rest away!

(sorry for the poor exposure, the Nuss family has camera issues. We forgot ours so we borrowed my dad's which was low on battery so this was the best I could do!)

He didn't really get the whole "opening presents" thing so I did most of the opening and he did most of the playing!

Here is my attempt at making him open some gifts...

Here is Uncle David helping Noah play with his new Buzz Lightyear vehicle from Nana. Sad to say he hasn't gotten a ton of playing time on it at home due to the competition from his big sister!

A Day of Firsts

This is the "after" shot by my neighbor. So handsome! Can't believe he is almost a year old!

He had had enough by the end of the haircut.

Haircut? What haircut? Mmmmmmm sucker.....

So today our sweet neighbor agreed to take photos of my kiddos at my parents' house. She is a brave woman. Noah will be a year old in a few weeks so I wanted to get some photos made and I am not brave enough to take them to a studio. We got a couple of teasers of Noah that turned out great but if any of the 4 of us turned out any good then she is a miracle worker! I will keep you all posted. Since these are the most formal photos we are going to have done I wanted to get him a MUCH needed first haircut. I took him to the Great Clips down the street and they did a great job. First haircuts are free (bonus for my day!), they get a little certificate with their hair clippings taped inside and to keep them happy and still they gave him a sucker (his first!). I don't need to tell you all that he LOVED it! He did a great job; only cried at the end. What a handsome boy!
