Snuggle time

2010-07-04T09:53:00.001-07:00

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

First Time in Pool

2010-07-04T09:32:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-06-20T20:26:00.000-07:00

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

First Smiles

2010-05-26T22:37:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-26T22:24:00.000-07:00

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

Car Walking

2010-05-05T19:37:00.000-07:00

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

Dog Walking Norah Style

2010-05-05T17:59:00.000-07:00

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

2010-03-12T20:08:00.000-08:00

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

Baby ADD

2010-03-11T18:44:00.000-08:00

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

2010-03-11T10:28:00.001-08:00

First Birthday!!

2010-03-11T10:07:00.000-08:00

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!

2010-02-01T17:55:00.000-08:00

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.

2010-01-28T21:37:00.000-08:00

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

2010-01-28T21:23:00.000-08:00

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

Discerning Taste

2009-12-30T13:58:00.001-08:00

Feeding time had started to be a bit of a battle. Norah didn't seem to want me to feed her with the spoon. So, I let her have at it during lunch today and believe it or not some of the food did end up in her mouth. After a bath she was crawling around the kitchen and before I could stop her....in goes a piece of dog food. I think that she actually liked the initial taste, but was not happy with me when I took it out of her mouth.

2009-12-30T13:48:00.000-08:00

Here is another great pic from lunch today..."Do you want a kiss Momma?"

2009-12-10T19:31:00.001-08:00

HoHo Who Are You??

2009-12-10T19:25:00.000-08:00

I can only image what she was thinking, "Hmmm, how can I grab this hairy thing...OH My GOSH!! It talks!!". She did pretty well for the first fifteen seconds and then needed Santa to feed her a bottle, so that they could be friends. More pics to follow. Merry Christmas to all.

Not Quite Crawling

2009-11-17T18:10:00.000-08:00

I read that every baby figures out how to crawl a different way. Here is Norah's preferred method.

More Birthday Pics

2009-11-04T15:22:00.001-08:00

Here are some more pictures of the festivities on the patio.

2009-11-04T15:18:00.000-08:00

Ryan was pretty sold on the idea of having a ROCK STAR 30th Birthday Party, which also meant that we would need to buy the new BEATLE'S ROCK BAND...of course. We rented a big screen and borrowed a projector and rocked out to Sergent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club on the patio. More pics to follow. P.S. We did warn the neighbors.

First Halloween

2009-11-04T15:05:00.000-08:00

We actually got this costume from one of Norah's Great Aunt's at her baby shower. It is so cute and Warm!! She tolerated it for about...2 hours and was over it.

Just Like Granddad

2009-10-29T10:34:00.000-07:00

We finally decided to finish our fence and Norah just had to help. I think this picture would have made her Grandpa Rudy proud. DISCLAIMER: No power tools were actually used while the baby was in the Bjorn:)

Future Foodie For Sure

2009-09-28T13:46:00.000-07:00

Norah as always been a pretty easy going kid- but when it comes to food she can get quite enthusiastic. Her fav so for is Sweet Potato and Chicken Dinner..ORGANIC of course:)

I Love Baby Laughs

2009-09-27T14:05:00.000-07:00

I think that the sound of a baby laughing has got to be the best sound ever. I remember that Norah first started laughing around 2 month- but only in her sleep. She would get this little smile and then let out this "Marge Simpson" little laugh. Well, now she is a full blown giggler. Enjoy. P.S. The tattoo on my arm was left over from Ryan's 30th Bday Rock Star Party.

Great Grandma Dot's First Visit

2009-09-27T13:13:00.000-07:00

I just recently found out that my Grandma Dot will be moving to Boise. I feel so lucky that Norah will have more family here. I think that The More the Better is the motto when it come to family...hint hint Oma!!

2009-09-27T13:01:00.000-07:00

It Only Took 7 Months

2009-09-27T12:51:00.000-07:00

Sorry, it has taken me so long to create this blog. I promised many family members a place they could go to get up to the minute Norah info and look at this... it only took 7 months. I am planning to upload mostly videos of our little one because quite frankly they are the most entertaining. There will be much more info to come, but lets get to some videos. Welcome!!
