1yr pics, yipee!

The fun ones....


The more traditional ones....


Saddest part was that Mommy had to leave the room to get N to stay in place.

You could say she's a little clingy when Mommy's around.

Visitors and milestones!

N has been very busy! We had visitors down for the weekend in the form of Aunt M, cousin K and Cousin A along with some of their friends.
We went to Magic House on Friday evening. N's 'sisters' came along too. They all played in the Storybook area for quite a while. The girls got to play dress up and act out the stories.

Saturday morning we went to the botanical gardens again. N showed off her sheep to cousin K and friends.
N is showing this one who's the boss!
N took two steps on Saturday, too!
Sunday we went to the Festival of the Little Hills in St Charles. The kids were exhausted from walking. However N got to discover helium balloons. She seemed a bit confused at first. N got her two center top teeth today for a total of six now. She is a trooper, not fussing much at all while teething.

Gma & Gpa and water oh my!

N's sitter was on vacation last week so Gma & Gpa took on the task of keeping up with N! This pic is from their last night, as you can see Gpa (& Gma) hung in there pretty well.
We all went out for dinner last Sunday. N takes fine dining to a whole other level!

N, Mommy and Gma did some shopping too. This hat is one of many finds for Miss N! She is growing so fast. She's already pushing out of the 12 month size and going into 18 months.
N and Mommy went to the Botanical Garden for a few hours of fun.
N loved the giant Chihuly floating globes. She kept staring at them and looking back at Mommy as if to say, "Those big bath toys are gonna come over here, right?" There were also a flock of sheep benches. N had to have a picture by them for Gma!
It's almost as good as being on the farm.
Although these sheep stayed still for N! There is an awesome children's garden too. It's basically a huge nature theme playground. N was too small for most of it but truely loved this water area. (Suprise, Suprise)

She played with this particular water pump fountain for over a half hour!
We need one of these at home!
No idea who this little girl is with N but she just kept the fountain going. N makes friends everywhere she goes.N got interested in the shooting streams also. She loves the water as long as its not in her face. This was a little too close below.
