14 Months

My, my where does time go? In one blink Nora has emerged from a cooing, crawling baby, to a babbling, walking toddler. At the 14 month mark, she has developed quite the personality (stubborn, sweet, and completely cuddly), has plenty of teeth (12 and counting!), lots 'o hair (I put them in pigtails the other day), loves to sing, dance, play, and a developing vocabulary. She isn't as chatty as Eamon was this age, but she's definitely not shy and, very often, will dish out a mouthful of mumbo-jumbo with a few purposeful words thrown in. She remains a very, very easygoing little girl and is happiest when she is on the lap or in the arms of Mark or me. My favorite time of the day is right before bed, when she cuddles up and puts her head on my shoulder as though it's the most comfy spot in the world (poor thing, my shoulders are bony!). Here's to hoping she'll always want to end her day that way (until she's a teenager...that is!).
