Happy (belated) birthday, Nora!

Happy (belated) birthday, my little Nora-bear! 

At 2 years old, Nora is a little bit mischievous but oh so lovable. It takes a while for her to warm up to someone, but when she does, she is cuddly and give great hugs and kisses. 

She loves singing the ABCs now, and can mostly count to ten and sometimes higher. She likes to scribble draw, playing with planes and trains and her current favorite book is a Children's Song book.

She still does the adorable "mmmmmm" noises when she eats something she likes, but recently she also started declaring "yummy in my tummy tummy!" Most of the time, it just comes out as "tummy tummy!" though! She love sweets and is always asking for candy and snacks, but also loves eggs (hard boiled or fried), sausage, bacon and noodles. She's still not great at sitting in her seat at the dinner table, but it's really hard to say no to that cutie pie face when shes asks to sit on your lap. Even Evie will relent and let Nora sit with her when Nora asks.

Nora loves her big sister and is often urging her on with "Come on, Eves!" Scott caught the two of them in the walk-in closet at the Orcas house last weekend given each other back scratches!

Nora is actually 2 years and 12 days old because I'm late with this post, but let's just pretend I posted on August 13th. :)

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

By
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.

Getting to Sunrise after sunrise

By
 It wouldn’t be a Seattle summer if we didn’t make the trek out to lovely Mt Rainier! We left pretty early and drove 2 hours to check out the north side of the volcano, Sunrise visitors center. Armed with plenty of candy, treats and PBJ, we took the trail up to Mt Fremont peak where you can check out an old fire lookout shelter perched on top. I can only imagine how intense that place would have been in a summer storm. We were equally concerned about not seeing a restroom for the caretaker either! I forgot to mention, on our hike up to the peak we noticed a big black bear scampering by a couple hundred yards above us towards the top of the mountain ridge. Pretty exciting! As you can imagine Nora had lots of questions about black bears and wanted to triple check that they aren’t as aggressive as grizzly bears. After that she made me practice how quickly I could whip out our bear spray can. The girls batted away aggressive squirrels during our mountain top picnic (hours after recount...
