Mr. January

Happy 1st Birthday, Noah!!!

Look at this huge cake!  It's so big it didn't even fit on my special birthday chair! 

My momma's ready for the next cake challenge!

Toot, toot, toot!  Noah's new favorite word :)

Hours of baking and frosting down the drain in less than two seconds!

Uh oh!

I'm a Hawaiian warrior!

Guess what?

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Randy and I scheduled an u/s for the morning that we were flying back to Iowa to celebrate Christmas with our families (mistake #1: awful day to pick for an u/s all the way downtown since we were so busy, but that's another post!).  We knew it was pretty early to tell the gender, but we thought it was worth a shot if it meant surprising our families on Christmas morning! 

We went to an u/s place down in Honolulu, where I also went when I was pregnant with Noah.  They are so nice there and I'm sure they were a little surprised to see us again already :)  We even got a discount for being a repeat customer!  They had two girls look and they are both are thinking girl.  I asked them if they were sure enough to surprise our families and they said yes so off we were to shop (which was mistake #2!) for a little something for the grandparents to open!

Here is what the grandparents had to open on Christmas morning! 

We know it was early when we scheduled the u/s so we aren't buying anything too much until my big u/s on January 31 with our doctor.  Either way- pink or blue- we are so blessed and couldn't be happier! :)
