My Girl is ONE!

My baby girl is one, and I don't know where the time has gone! At her birthday party, I hung several lines of pictures from this past year. She's had a pretty amazing first year of life, if I do say so myself. 

A look back on Nora's first year: 

- Born Dec. 3, 2011

- Went to Florida for an extended family vacation

- Traveled to Pawley's Island to play on the beaches and take my first bike ride

- Chased my family's dog, Sandy, all around the kitchen and yard

- Went to see my first Musical in the Warner Theatre in DC

- Attended several weddings with Mom & Dad

- Went to Christmas Town in Busch Gardens with family 

- Went to the Zoo twice (and completely slept through my first visit) 

- Fell in love with my cousin, Olivia. 

- Sat for mom through several photo shoots

- Played in Fall leaves

- Swam in Grammy's neighborhood pool

- Enjoyed countless times on the playground swing

- Went to Charlottesville for apple-picking

- Explored several museums, Children's, Living, etc. 

- Went putt putt golfing

- Attended two of my aunt's graduations from college

- Went to see the DC Christmas Tree

- Visited Mom's old work in DC

- Met the Pioneer Woman for her book-signing (and she fell in love with my red hair!) 

With such a good year, no wonder Nora never stops smiling!!

She knows she's a big girl!

We can't forget Lambey, who contributed to half of the smiles she gave for the camera.
