| Here it is, at 11 months and 13 days old, her first tooth! |
It's that tiny little light spot on her gums on her left (your right). We found it a week ago Sunday but I haven't been able to get a good picture of it until now.

The Unbreakable Tree
Every special, important, or fragile ornament on our "real tree" will be at my waist-height or higher for at least the next few years. I say this even though last year the only person to shatter a cherished ornament was me and my clumsey, pregnant, sausage fingers. Norah is really careful around the tree and Penny, while interested, hasn't made any attempts to pull it over on herself just yet.
Still, I wanted Norah to have a tree all to herself. One that she could decorate and re-decorate as she saw fit. I decided to put it just outside her room. She's incredibly good about staying in her bed at night, but a Christmas tree ripe for the decorating might be too much temptation.
We had plenty of small stuffed animals to use as ornaments. Since the tree is still 6 feet tall, she had to direct me in placing the higher ones. Ultimately, it was Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl who got the roll of "Angel" at the top! A few of her stuffed animal ornament selections were just too big to go on the tree, so Chongo (the gorilla), Teddy, Ladybug and Pink Doggy were appointed to guard the tree instead.

Best Christmas Picture Ever
Back when Norah went to daycare full-time the director, Michelle, had her brother-in-law come and play Santa during Christmas time (since Santa Himself was a little busy at that time of year).
When this picture was taken, Norah was 16 months old. We had talked that morning about Santa coming to her school and taking pictures with everyone. When I dropped her off she was super excited. Clearly, the excitement wore off a bit.
Incidentally, Michelle is AMAZING and if you live in my area and need childcare, call me. I'll hook you up.

The moment I saw this picture it was my favorite. It still is.

Awesome Party
We went to a party at Jan's.
We could pretty much do Whatever.
She had a photo booth set up.
We could wear hats, or not.
We could be serious, or not.
Clearly, it was an awesome party.

Eleven Months
She was eleven months old Monday the 28th and she started crawling on Friday the 25th. Her sister walked at a week before 10 months. They're so similar... but so very, very different.
