Smiles!


Nora’s Aunt Amy sent along this wonderfully multi-functional stool. So far, we’re seeing
it used as a reading platform.

Might have mentioned this before, but this is one of our TV trays that Nora
will hang out in multiple times daily.

Nora will put just about anything in this spinner toy, but she takes special
attention to drop in the friendly bus driver that’s part of another toy.

She loves wrapping found clothes around her body.

Because everyone reads immediately following dinner out on the town…
Here’s the requested birthday cake video! (Only a week and a half late!)
It’s a little long, but here’s Nora slowing warming up to and then dismantling her giant cupcake. It was hard to edit down because she ate it so slowly and the party was still going full swing, and adding background music didn’t do a thing for it.
So we present: Nora’s 1st Birthday Cake! The (Mostly) Uncut Version!
Full set of party pics here.
The Smiths got Nora this awesome rider/walker toy. Here’s her first attempt to use it to walk. Maybe you had be there and hear her panting as she tried her very best. Josh and I were laughing so hard, we could barely cheer her on. We are so proud of Nora for being so dedicated.
