Thirty & One

Today is the birthday for two very special people to me!  Jared turned the big 3-0 today and Nora turned 1!  I can't believe how fast this past year has gone.  Jared took today off from work to hang out with the family (and help me get things in order for the party tomorrow).  We started the day off with some birthday waffles!

Then we moved on to presents.  Ethan was an eager helper!

She was getting the hang of pulling the paper off!

Opening the gift Ethan picked out for her (Cinderella and Prince Charming Little People)

Now for a few things about Nora at 1:
She crawls really fast!

She can cruise the furniture and walk by pushing things around, but is not standing on her own or trying to walk yet

She still has 7 teeth

She has transitioned to whole milk in a sippy cup very well!

She is basically eating all table food, and loves to feed herself

She waves, blows kisses, claps and dances (usually all on command)

Birthday Girl with her balloons!

Happy Birthday to Jared and Nora.  I love you both more than words can say!
