Snuggle time

After the cold pool, Momma and Norah had a nice snuggle in the sun :)

First Time in Pool

We recently took a trip to Minnesota to visit Ryan's family and took Norah in a pool for the first time. I think that her reaction was pretty staight forward, "IT"S COLD DADDY!!"

Walking!! Here She Goes.

At this point she is a 60% walker 40% crawler. GO NORAH!!

First Smiles

Sorry that this is out of order, but it is such a cute clip. Norah was about 5-6 weeks old and was just starting to smile at us. I love her big eyes and little pointy chin.

Baby Walker

From a Physical Therapist perspective that is some excellent walker management.

Car Walking

Well, she isn't walking yet. This is her latest version. Enjoy- she certainly does.

Dog Walking Norah Style

This is Norah's way of giving Rocco a little exercise. He put up with this for about ... 10 more seconds before he started to try to pull her around. "How do you like it"!!

First Snow

For someone that said they would not dress their child in pink...that is a really pink snow suit.

Baby ADD

I caved and got this stander for Norah when she was 8 months old. We love how she just can't make up her mind what to play with first. My rationale was that she would only be in it in the bathroom when I was getting ready. She is currently 13 months old and still loves it.

And after the Birthday

First Birthday!!

We had such a great party for Norah. She was a little confused why all of these people were there to see her eat lunch?

She does stairs, too!

Norah is a big fan of crawling. And stairs. And crawling up stairs. Here is her happily climbing up the small set of 3 steps we have upstairs.

Just hanging out with DADDA!!, DADDIE!!, DAD!!, DAH!!, or just HAY!!

Whenver Norah is crawling really fast, pulling herself up or going up the stairs...out goes the tongue. "It really does help, Momma!"
