First Birthday Coming Right Up

I have been busy planning Anora's 1st birthday party since Christmas. So as usual I have fallen behind on my blog. I am so excited for her party, Tammy has been such a big help with everything. I love that she is just as excited as I am. She has had so much fun picking things up here and there and spending her wee hours of the night searching the internet for "inspiration" It is coming together quite nicely I think and I hope that the Princess enjoys the party half as much as we have enjoyed planning it. I am hoping for good weather so that everyone can come and enjoy the festivities with us. I wanted to give a little teaser for my followers. Some of you have already seen this but below is a picture of the dress I ordered for her to wear.
Tehehe, isn't it just fabulous!!! Who wouldn't feel like a Princess in this dress.

Long time no blog

Oh my goodness where to start.... I am sorry I have not been as faithful to my blog as I have to my facebook recently. Anora has just been on a whirlwind. She started talking before Christmas. He first word besides "Mama" and "Dada" was "pretty". Grandma kept showing Anora the Christmas tree and saying pretty tree and eventually she started whispering "pretty" and pointing at the tree. Really it sounded like "pt" which was probably her saying pretty tree but we wanted to believe she was far more advanced and decided she was saying pretty. Her next word sounded something like the neighbor boys name "Reed" so that is what we went with. Now of course we had to have her combine the 2 words so now she says "pretty Reed". She started walking on the long weekend for Christmas and she is now almost at a run. She has also learned the words "Bee Bee" for the oldest neighbor girl (Kimberlee). I guess Elizabeth is a bit of a mouth full; we will have to work on that. Oh yeah and when she says "Hi" she opens up really big and say "hiiii". It is just too darn cute. She waves hi and bye. She loves music and will dance to anything. She has just started bobbing her head back and forth when she is really happy. When she is walking and humming to herself she waves her arms from front to back. Really I could go on and on but I think I will let the pictures speak for themselves as too just how darn cute she is.
