Grand Sir
When I came home for lunch on my last Thursday at work, I caught Nora and Grand Sir having fun together. Thank you, Bill! I’m so glad you two are friends.

She walks!
Nora made it all the way down the hallway by herself. It’s not graceful, but she gets there.
Blake Smith FTW
Blake makes the cutest dinners for Nora. They are always well-balanced, contain vegetables, offer a veritable rainbow of tastes and textures to please her tiny palate, and are separated into little piles. Now, if only he would eat like that himself…

We had a little birthday party for Nora on Sunday afternoon with chocolate cake (Nora had frosted cornbread on Blake’s orders), adorable gifts (thank you, everyone!), and a little clip show of Nora’s first year of movies set to one of her favorite songs.
Thank you, family and friends, for being so sweet with our little bean. And thank you, Nora, for being the most adorable and fun person I have ever met.
I don’t want to miss a thing.
Grandma and Pop-Pop came over to hang out with Nora while I was at work, but luckily an unidentified benefactor took some pictures of the event with my camera.

As predicted, Nora pretty much only crawls until she gets to something she can pull herself up on–then she walks.
