Happy Birthday Norah!

My baby turned one, and to celebrate we had a big party. I joked with one party-goer that the first birthday party was absolutely essential, not because Norah would ever remember the event, but because I needed to celebrate the fact that we made it a year and we're all still alive and well. In fact, we're more than just alive and well, we couldn't be better! Norah has brought an unimaginable amount of joy into our lives and despite the sleepless nights, the tears and the meltdowns (mine and hers) we wouldn't change a thing. Being a mom is the best thing I've ever done.

So, enough about me ... here are some party pictures!















Don't be deceived, this is the only bite she took. The rest, she destroyed. Lesson learned, an expensive and delicious cake from The Chocolate should be served to adults who will enjoy the goodness.












Norah was with me when I purchased this gift. When we got home from the store she kept pointing to the box and asking "please?" So at her party when she pulled the paper off and saw what it was, she was ecstatic!

My birthday

I'm a quarter century old. Yikes. For my birthday my mom took me shopping. I'm still getting used to (an not loving) this post-pregnancy body ... so let's just say the shopping trip wasn't super successful, but at least my baby was (mostly) good and slept in her stroller.

Then we went to dinner with my family at La Jolla Groves in Riverwoods, it was yummy!

One year older

I turned 22 on Sunday. Sunday birthdays are always a bit, well, harder to celebrate, but I had a great birthday anyway. First, my sweet husband surprised me on Saturday with the seventh Harry Potter book -- which I promptly finished by Sunday afternoon. We spent the evening with some friends playing miniature golf (I lost) and playing Mario Party on the Wii (I won). On Sunday, we ate dinner at my parents house and it was delish. My parents showered me with gift cards and scrapbook software and then I went home and watched a few episodes of Friends: Season 3, another birthday gift from Jason.

Jason has now reading Harry Potter and I get the feeling I won't be seeing much of him until he's done. It's an addicting book.
