Birthdays galore

By
I've been very impressed with the recent slate of parties that Nora has been invited to. They aren't your typical bouncy house or run around the yard type event. These have been much more civilized, ladylike affairs. 

First was a "spa party" where the girls got to do a foot soak, hand scrub, sparkly manicure, makeup and dress up in princess dresses. Us moms even got in on the action with a hand scrub and parafin wax treatment while sipping cocktails! 

Then we went to a birthday tea at this super cute new-to-us tea parlor in Issaquah. The girls donned Unicorn headbands while sipping their own pot of tea (or cocoa, in Nora's case!) and eating cookies, scones and tiny sandwiches (choice of cheese, jam, and nutella). 

Super fancy, right? Makes me worried about what she's going to want to do for her own party this year!

The secret to sparkly nail polish is to add real glitter!

Getting sparkly eye shadow, blush and lip gloss.
All done!

    Fancy! She must've loved those parties!

    Btw, these are in COMPLETE opposite of the type of parties Ian goes to. The boy parties are rowdy and the kids get all sweaty being active. The last ones he went to were at a trampoline jump parks, indoor batting cage/baseball fields, and a laser tag arena.

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.

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!
