It’s Nora’s first birthday today! So hard to believe that it’s been one year. I can remember the day she was born so vividly, it feels like it was yesterday.

She’s only one, but we’ve already seen so much of her fun, mischeivious, kind, curious, personality. She’s so interested in the world around her – and espcially music (lullabys from Sinatra, Bob Marley, the Beatles, and Pearl Jam), gadgets (like phones and remote controls), Maisey (her dog), and the playground swing. I can’t wait to see what she’s interested in next.

I’ll always remember this past year. We’ve never been so exhausted, busy, or happy. I’m so proud of Nora, and especially of Andrea for being such a good mom and taking care of Nora (and me, and Maisey) so well.
