TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!

My-Oh-My, how times does fly! It sometimes really does seem like yesterday that we were introducing Ms. Norah to the world. Now, we're gearing up to introduce a new beautiful Weber to all of you as well as posting about our girl's 2nd Birthday Party! Our Wee Weber is not so Wee anymore.

Norah's 2nd Birthday was MUCH more low key than her first. Whereas the Birthday Girl's 1st Birthday celebration was ushered in with pizza, videos, smash-cakes, Winnie the Pooh and about 45 of her closest friends, this birthday was spent at home with Minnie Mouse and close family.

In all honesty, the decision to have just a small, family-only party at the house was made primarily because Mamma is the size of a small Shetland Pony at this point, and orchestrating a large 'to-do' just wasn't in the cards for an 8 mo's preggo person. Norah didn't mind, though. As long as there was cake and presents, she couldn't have cared who showed up to the house.

The day of the party (January 30th...the day before her actual birthday), Norah awoke from her afternoon nap to find that Minnie Mouse had come to decorate AND bring her cake, ice-cream presents. She was also greeted by Grandma, Poppy, Aunt Norma, Uncle Mark, cousins Jacob & Emily and Aunty Libby.

We had a great (did I mention Low-Key) time. Norah's no dummy, she wanted to skip the pleasantries and get straight to the good stuff: CAKE and presents. And, after she had filled her tummy with sweets and had a balloon sword fight or two w/ Uncle Mark, most of the family settled in to watch "The Cat In the Hat" and "Thomas the Train".

Norah's actual birthday was spent with her friends at school and a special treat of blueberry muffins that Mommy made for the class (I know. I know. I'm going to be the health-nut mom who embarrasses her kids by making muffins instead of brownies or cupcakes....I'M DOING THE KIDS A FREAKIN' FAVOR, ALRIGHT! :-)) We then went out to dinner with Grandma & Poppy.

We really can't believe it. Two years ago, this little baby girl came into our life turning it on its ear. She couldn't walk, talk or even sit up. She was completely helpless. Now, she's running everywhere, speaking in rudimentary sentences ("I go now." "More milk, please.") and keeping Mom & Dad on their toes with her constant, boundless energy. She is amazing.

Before we know it, our adventure will take a new turn with the birth of the Wee'est Weber in just 4 short weeks. Norah will not only be two, but she will be a BIG sister.

We look forward to sharing each and every moment of our Big Adventure with all of you.
