Happy 18 months, Nora!

By
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 18 months, sweet pea! Make sure you get some video of her mmmmm's while eating so we can all remember that funny sound.

Happy new year!!

By
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.

1 week checkup

We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
