A year and a week old!

We've got a live one with Miss Nora! She loves to climb, crawl, explore...which is awesome...except when I'm trying to get anything done! She seems to have radar (or a magnetic attraction) for anything she's not supposed to have - something that keeps us all on our toes all the time.
Her vocabulary is rapidly expanding - in addition to the words she is already saying (mama, dadda, woof, dog, please...maybe others?) she is now saying teeth, keys, cat, shoes and probably more that are not coming to mind right now. Of course they are not super clear and might not even be understandable to people unless you know her, but she's trying. I think she has lots she wants to say and gets frustrated when she can't. She knows some routines - like brushing her teeth...she gets her toothbrush, holds it under the water, pretends to put toothpaste on it, brush her teeth then repeat the whole cycle over again. She knows that when I say it's time to put shoes on that she is to lift one foot up and then the other. She's also developed a funny habit of blowing on every bite of food before eating and, her latest habit, she likes to take her food and dip it in something before eating (especially water or milk).

Here we are enjoying the beautiful, warm fall weather at Gabriel Park. I tried to get a picture of Brett and the kids...they were not having it!
