Noah turns 2

Saturday (October 11th) was Noah's 2nd birthday! We can hardly believe 2 years have gone by since that day we brought our little 6 pound, helpless peanut home from the hospital. We opted not to have a huge birthday party for him...we weren't sure we were up to twenty 2-year-olds invading our house! So we had a small (mostly family and a couple very close friends) come over for a family dinner and some Elmo birthday cake! Noah actually did better than we thought with opening the presents. Grandma and "Papa" Fitzgerald (a.k.a. "the man who hung the moon" in Noah's eyes) came up from FL for his big day. Aunt Shelly and cousin Samantha got to be here and Aunt Amy & Uncle Eric came over with cousins Christian, Cameron and Lauren who are now 9 months old and both crawling! It was a fun day! The Elmo birthday cake turned out great (not that I can take any credit for it!) As cute as the cake was, however, I will try to never get a birthday cake with solid red icing ever again! I have to admit parts of our house still look like a crime scene...

The Birthday Boy! We were surprised he actually wanted to wear the party hat!



And our big boy even blew out his candle...

Can you tell he's on a sugar high from the cake? I thought so...
