Happy 18 months, Nora!

Wow, I can't believe Nora turned 18 months on Saturday. Where do the days go? At 18 months, Nora is sweet as can be - always ready for hugs and kisses and tickles.

She just started saying Mommy yesterday. She constantly says "mama mama mama" when she's talking to nothing in particular to it caught me by surprise that she started to use Mommy. She has lots of words already - hi, bye, kiss, hugs, up, down, shoes, sit down, no, Elsa, Anna, car, airplane and too many others I can't name right now. She's still a very ticklish little girl, loves to play "row row row your boat" and is trying to learn how to jump. She loves her big sister and follows Evie around everywhere. It was very sweet this morning when Evie woke up in a bad mood, Nora was patting her hair trying to comfort her, and even got a tissue and tried to wipe (unsuccessfully) Evie's face.

Nora is still a screamer, unfortunately, but at least she's getting a bit better about sitting in her own chair to eat. She is slowly outgrowing making her "mmmm" noises when she eats, which is a little sad for us because it's so darn cute. Her favorite foods are still cheese, yogurt and bread.

We can't get enough of this girl and can't stop kissing those soft little cheeks. Happy 18 month birthday, Nora!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.  

Skateboarding

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.

Alaska Cruise

We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
