Here are some pictures of her in her costume. She was a flapper from the 1920's. My mom sewed the costume. I think she did a great job! I told her that she was commissioned for costumes from here on out!

Halloween 2008
Last year, we took Nora to the mall to trick-or-treat there. It was a good plan, since she was only a year old and not quite walking on her own yet. (I think it was cold, too). This year, we took her to our downtown Halloween "parade." The kids all walked around downtown and collected candy from the stores, then got to eat free hot dogs, chips and cookies. After that, we took her over to her great-grandma and great-grandpa Hoover's house. We visited with them for some time and then went on down the road. We also stopped at one of my co-worker's homes. She had a special bag made up for Nora. I was really impressed with the way Nora acted after she got used to all the people dressed strangely. She even went up to a few houses on her own. She had a great time--and so did I!

Nora's 2nd Birthday
On the day of Nora's birthday, I took her and my grandparents out to the Rolling Hills Zoo. She always loves to go to the zoo! We also went into town to see Joe at the fire station.
On Sunday, we had Nora's big birthday party. We had it at the park in our town and it was a big hit. We rented the Scout Building and grilled hot dogs and hamburgers. I made cupcakes (instead of a cake) and we had ice cream. Nora had a lot of little friends come and they all played together well. She got soooo many nice things. I think I'm going to have to thin some of her older toys out! Some of her gifts included: a tricycle, a table and chairs, a baby stroller and babies, and a Power Wheels Barbie Jeep.
Other than the typical "issues," (unfortunately) the day was a big success!!
Nora also had her 2-year checkup. We started with a new doctor, and so far, we love him. (Joe knows him from seeing him/working with him at the hospital). He wasn't concerned with her speech, especially since she is pretty advanced physically and socially.
Her 2 year stats are:
Height: 36 inches
Weight: 24 lbs, 9 oz (only up 4 lbs from a year ago)
Shirt size: 3T
Pants size: 3T
Shoe Size: 8
