"Future's so bright"

This baby girl is a riot! She is non-stop just like her brothers and is catching on quickly to all they do. She has started climbing on everything including into the fireplace and up into the boys' booster seats at the table. She would much rather sit there than in her highchair. She says, 'da-da', 'momma', 'cat', 'dog', 'bye-bye', and does a funny growl (like a tiger noise) when she sees any animal - even a chicken. Her favorite word right now is 'that' and it is usually accompanied by the classic baby pointing. I have a friend that will vouch for me that Nora actually said her first sentence the other day... 'I want that.' We just looked at each other and laughed. She loves swimming and she will kick and paddle with me all over the spring. She loves the toilet and the dishwasher - more than either of the boys did. Thankfully no major incidents to date. She has a great laugh and will turn it on without much reason. We love to watch her laugh just because her brothers are laughing. She is a good eater and even with our non-schedule these days is a good sleeper. She is already in 18mo - 24mo clothes so she is growing just fine. We wrestle during every diaper change as she does the crocodile death roll and she can't seem to ever have enough pairs of shoes on. She helps me put the clothes in the drier and gives great hugs! I still have a hard time believing she is already 1 year old!
