Baby Take a Bow

Nope, not the Chris Rice song. Instead it is my pleasure to announce that as of last Saturday, November 8th, Nora is a one-year-old.

Her fond parents had a family party for her, where she was given chocolate cake for the first time and ice cream for the second (it was supposed to be the first time for ice cream too, but her great-grandpa got hold of her last week and, well, these things happen). Uncle Nate presided over the feeding of the cake to my little niece and she promptly smeared it all over her face (how well I remember her father doing the same thing!).

There aren't any pictures of the party posted yet, but as soon as Mike and Jess get around to that (hint hint, kids) I will retrofit them in here. Meanwhile, here's a recent photo of Nora playing... um... well, whatever you do play with a tepee. ;-)
