Nora: 13-14 Months

Nora is about 13.5 months now and is continuing to develop into quite a little person. Lately, her favorite pastimes are zipping and unzipping anything she can find, babbling like she's telling you the greatest story in the world, pushing her walker or the kitchen chairs across the floor, putting things "in" baskets, bins, etc. and playing peekaboo (which she initiates).


Nora LOVES her blankie!

She's getting teeth numbers 5 & 6, so she's starting to look more like a little girl than a baby. She is also starting to follow simple commands like "no" and "sit down." She's getting more interested in watching TV and can sit still for a few minutes to watch a show, as long as she has something to play with while she sits.

Her favorite toys are her basket of fake food, pop-up tunnel and baby doll. She likes to crawl with something in her hand, which is often a play hamburger bun. And lately, she's started to assert her independence by taking my hands off something I'm trying to help her hold (usually my phone) and crawling up in the chair I'm in with her baby doll only to then push me out of the chair and sit there by herself with the biggest grin on her face like she's a big girl.

She has yet to start walking, but I know it's only a matter of time!

She loves her walker but she is so fast in it that I can't get a good picture.

Morning bike rides are exhausting.

We have been able to tell from the time Nora was born that she was going to be a pistol and she's becoming just that.

Happy Birthday, Flatlander!

Flatlander Coffee Co. turns one this week! It's been a busy year, and we've made some great strides. Upgrading to a commercial roaster and moving into our first commercial space have been the highlights. Come celebrate with us this Thursday in Norman!

Nora's 1st Birthday

We hosted Nora's birthday party the day after we moved into our new house, which was a little crazy on our part. Levi worked tirelessly arranging our house and unpacking boxes while a few old work friends came to help with party decor and baking cupcakes. I couldn't have pulled it off without them!

I had been planning Nora's bird-themed party for months, and it turned out just as I had imagined. Ann Steward Photography captured the day perfectly, and I'm so thankful to have these pictures!
