Actual Bday

We celebrated Nora's birthday early so Daddy could be involved. But on her actual birthday we had a small family celebration in honor of our little lady!

First thing in the morning she enjoyed a birthday sprinkle pancake cake!

And a little gift opening

She loved her Elena of Avalor dress and scepter

The day was pretty low key, but in the evening she got to have a Daddy date! She dressed up in her finest dress, put on her accessories and curled her hair. Daddy took her downtown for ice cream and a carriage ride!

The Climb

Evelyn may be our slowest walker (she didn't walk until 11 months while her siblings walked at 9, 8, and 10 months respectively), but she is our earliest climber. The girl can climb on top of anything and she is fearless! She has been known to climb on top of a bed, couch, bench, ladder, slide, dishwasher, camping chair, fireplace and table. Here's a snippet of a few of her climbing conquests:

Not climbing here, but this is her other favorite past time...opening cabinets and pulling out the contents.

We had a lot going on in August! Here's what I captured on my phone:

Pictures (top to bottom, L to R): to round out or summer fun we went to an OKC Dodgers baseball game, fun night at the ballpark and despite Nora's long pants and freezing posture it was a sultry 100 degree evening; play time with Daddy includes ear pulling, airplane and lots of laughs; my baby girl; when you're in a precarious situation and sister is always there to help; silly Nora; Evy loves her Daddy; last date night before football hanging out in Brockton; my cutie pie from above; my little fish Kolter and those lashes are to die for; one last swim afternoon before the pool closes
