We recently celebrated Joshua Nolen's first birthday in Starkville. I can't believe that little guy is already one! We had a great time at his E-I-E-I-O party and loved watching him eat a HUGE piece of cake. Speaking of cake...check out the oh-so-cute cake one of Amelia's friends made for the party.
Here's the birthday boy himself!
Abigail patiently waited for Joshua to open his presents before it was time for cake. She tried crawling into her seat before it was even in a chair and just looked at all of us like, "bring on the cake!"
Abigail and Joshua were stuffed full after lunch and cake. They had to rest on the floor for just a second before jumping back up to play. This is what I feel like doing after stuffing myself at a meal too. 
Abigail LOVES "honking" everybody's nose. Joshua was not a willing participant in this picture, but she is still a little bit bigger than he is (for now) and forced him into it.
Back in Jackson, Abigail has been enjoying the beautiful weather we've had the past week or so. It has felt a lot like spring and we are soaking it up before it turns cold again this week. There is a great playground right up the street from Coach and Nana's house where Abigail fell in love with the slide. She was so proud of herself every time she went down and made sure she, Nana and I all clapped about it each time.
Nothing beats a big brown box for hours of fun and entertainment. Thank you Mr. UPS.
Abigail loves going outside and asks to go out on the back patio almost every day at least for a few minutes. She has made it her mission to pick up every single leaf, piece of pine straw or rock she sees and bring it to the closest adult ... only once she has tasted it all. Do not turn away for even one second or you will be fishing various things out of her mouth for sure!
