Happy Birthday, Nora Bean!




My sweet baby girl is one today!

It's hard to believe that it's already been one year since you joined our family, Nora. Of course, it's even harder to remember when you weren't a part of it. This year has been full of getting to know you, and your personality is really starting to shine! You laugh more than you cry, you walk more than you crawl, and you snuggle more than you don't. I can honestly say that we have enjoyed every single day since you came.

You love your big brother and sister and let Lily carry you around everywhere...at least for now :). You love it when Mason comes to get you after a nap when you can both enjoy a little crib-jumping before Mama finds you.

You were the earliest to do any of those first-year "skills". You crawled at 7 months and walked at 10 1/2. I think it's because you have two older siblings to keep up with. You want to be outside all the time and are starting to really let us know what you want! You point and say, "Eh, eh!" You can also say da-da, ma-ma, ca-ca (cracker), hi, bye, uh-oh (your first word), and ahh-d' (all done).

We are so thankful God in his goodness saw fit to add you to our family, Nora Grace. We're excited to get to know you even better this coming year as we watch you grow and change!

Happy birthday, Sweet Pea!

Ah, so sweet! Yes, didn't this first year really fly??? I am desperately trying to find their "pause" button, but I seem to keep pushing the "fast forward" button on my children growing up.

Did you make that so pretty cake?
