Happy Birthday, Noah!

Noah turned a year old today. I have no idea where the time has gone. This was a year ago (tomorrow, as the camera didn't make it to the hospital for his first day):

And today:

Frédéric made Noah's birthday cake yesterday, before and after our outing to Subway for lunch and then Ikea. Today we had lunch with Max & Prisca Dauner in Marseille, so they were forced to join in our festivities. (We didn't actually have to force very much, especially after they tasted Frédéric's cake, made with a recipe from my great-grandmother.)

After much explaining to Benjamin that the presents were only for Noah today, he finally seemed to understand and be ok with just opening Noah's presents for him. And then playing with them for him.

Noah was a bit fussy all afternoon since he doesn't really get a good nap on Sundays, but was happy with his presents and loooooved his cake and ice cream.
