Noah's 1st birthday party!

This past weekend we have celebrated Noah's first birthday party! Yeah!!! I have been looking forward to this party since he was born :) I was kind of hoping that Noah will be able to walk way before his first birthday so at the party he could run around with other kids and have real fun. Well, Noah has been practicing his walking since his 9 and a half months and he was a real pro walker during his birthday bash :) He blended with other kids perfectly, walked around without hesitation (in spite of very crowded house)and played with other kids just like i have imagined he would :)) What's even more important, I have really wanted babcia Ewa to be here with us on this special day and she was :)) She helped us with all the preparations, cooking, decorations (she even made a bouquet of roses from leaves) and wonderful babysitting. I couldn't have asked for more :) Noah's party turned out really well, even though the house was little bit overcrowded (people and kiddos everywhere :)) Everyone seemed to have a good time (especially enjoying babcia Ewa's Polish gulasz :)) Yummie!!! I really need to learn how to make it now since so many people asked me for the recipe :)) Anyways, Noah had a good time at the party, however i think he was little bit overwhelmed by how many people were at the house so by the time his smashing cake was served, he didn't feel comfortable to be put on the spot :) I think he might have enjoyed his smashing cake if there was more privacy in the room :) Anyways, my little boy was a shining star at the party and he looked so darn handsome in his white blouse and a black bow bought and tied up by babcia Ewa :)) This was an unforgettable party and i will cherish the memories from it for the rest of my life.
