Teeth!!! And vacation.

Well, the biggest news around here lately is that Nora now has two teeth! Her second one popped through this morning, and the first one has been around since the Friday of our recent vacation, 9 days ago. Teething isn't much fun for any of us, but perhaps we'll have a little break before the next teeth, because her sleep and happiness both seem back to normal today. Here's hoping! I'm trying to get a picture of Nora's orthodontic genius, but so far it's not photographable. :) I'll keep trying, though...

Here are a bunch of pictures from last weekend in Maine. We went up to attend the Common Ground Fair, as we do every year. The weather was pretty rainy the day we went to the fair, but we had fun anyway. Nora slept through a lot of it in her carrier, and was quite taken with watching all the people when she was awake.

These first few pictures are from the Rachel Carson Salt Pond Preserve on the Pemaquid penninsula, which we explored on Sunday. It was very windy!

We stopped in Freeport on the way home on Monday to go shopping at LL Bean so Mama and Daddy could spend a wedding-present gift certificate (thank you, Jon and Pat!) in honor of our upcoming first anniversary. We got lots of fun stuff, and while we were there, Nora rode a bear!

Now that we're back home, we've gotten out Nora's handmedown exersaucer (thank you, Ruby and Eric!) since she likes to be upright so much. She really enjoys standing up and playing with all the toys, especially anything chewy (all that teething...). Here is a picture from this morning while Daddy was having his coffee, before she even got dressed!
