Ok, ok, two weeks in the life...

Oops, a long time since posting again! Nora's so active and mobile and into everything these days that it's become very difficult to get a chance to get online when she's awake! And I always seem to have 100 other things to do when she's napping... Excuses, excuses. On to the pictures!

This happy girl is who greets us, standing up in her crib, each morning and after naptime. We lowered her mattress a couple of weeks ago, when it seemed like pulling up was imminent, and it's a good thing we did, because otherwise she'd be flipping right over the edge!
Early last week, before the snow and ice storm (bleh.), it was 60 degrees out and we went outside on the porch to play. It was a gorgeous, bright, sunny day, and we discovered that none of Nora's sunhats from last summer fit anymore! She kept her hoodie hood on for a little while, but we did have to plan a shopping expedition to find a new hat.
She's actually in the process of trying to take her hood off here, not contemplating her hand thoughtfully, as it appears.
Nora reading cookbooks. She's responsible for cooking us dinner one night a week. (Well, maybe in a few more years!)
Daddy was working at a home show on Sunday, and Mama and Nora went to visit him. The highlight of the trip for Nora was the balloon she got! She absolutely loved it, and spent at least 30 minutes after we got home hanging onto the string and hauling it around with her. It wasn't even tied to her wrist here, she was just holding on tight. You can see in this picture that the balloon made her hair very staticky.
Having finished her raspberry course, Nora attacks the bagel portion of her breakfast.
Yes, of course you need a spoon to eat a bagel! Why wouldn't you?
Nora helps Mama do the laundry. Clean diapers are way more fun than dirty ones!
