Nolan Turns One!!


Yesterday was Nolan's FIRST Birthday! My baby is so BIG! All day long yesterday all I could think of was "this time last year". Every time I looked at the clock I would think, "This time last year I was getting hooked up to my IV" or "This time last year I was holding Nolan for the first time". (I am sure you catch the drift!) It was a very bittersweet day. I was happy that my baby boy was growing, but I was sad because it all went too fast. And I tell you what... Nolan moving into Toddler-hood has made me catch a case of Baby Fever!! But, I think I will wait for a little while longer on that! By the way, that is what we said when Nolan was conceived too!;)

We ended up going out to dinner for Nolan's Birthday. He REALLY wanted Red Lobster, so we gave in and took him there! He was so overcome with excitement that he ended up falling asleep and slept on the bench of the booth for about 35 minutes! After he finally woke up, he enjoyed a couple Cheddar Bay Biscuits, mashed potatoes and some fruit! He MUST be just like his momma... he LOVES biscuits, bread, and... Red Lobster!

After we got home from dinner, we sang 'Happy Birthday' and allowed him to indulge in a cupcake, WITHOUT red icing! (The red icing fiasco at Nolan's Party almost sent daddy over the edge!) Again, he dug right in and made a mess!

Here are a couple of pictures from Nolan's actual birthday... Here's to one of most wonderful years of our lives! We can't wait for the many more to come!!!
