*One Year Old*

We have officially entered toddlerhood!  And it's like my child knows it!  Suddenly we are Miss Independent.  She wants to feed herself. Bath herself. Help change clothes. Walk all by herself.  You get the picture.

Just because everyone should have a crying picture with Santa :)

Girl, you are too big for Bumbo seat!

Norah Kate,
I love you so so much. More than I could ever even try to put into words. I hope your first birthday was a blast. I hope that one day you understand how much I love you baby girl. Your first year of life taught me so much, and I know that this second year is going to be awesome! You are amazingly smart and beautiful! You are so much fun and bring so much joy in to so many lives. You are my little ray of sunshine!

I love you, Sugar!

Love, Mama
