Norah is Nine Months!

Wow. I can't believe we have a child this old. She is starting to look (minus the hair) like a toddler instead of a little baby :O( But I guess it will eventually happen so I might as well get used to it.

She is so much fun!


She loves to laugh and giggle and is very ticklish. She apparently took her first step when I wasn't looking so I don't count it yet :O) Our predictions are she will be walking by Halloween but we'll see if that really happens. She loves to make noise any way she can, especially with the pots and pans or "singing". She likes to push our chairs and stools around the house which also makes a lovely noise.


She loves her dad and will light up and run (crawl really fast) when she hears him open the front door at the end of the day. Most of all she loves to be outside, which I am happy about. If she is ever fussy we just take her outside and she calms right down.


She now weighs a whopping 21.6 lbs. (89 percentile) which sounds like a lot but she has actually been at this weight for 2 months now so we see this as a tampering off sign, thank goodness! She is 27 inches tall (50 percentile) and her head is 18.5 inches (98%) large. "It's like an orange on a toothpick"! haha. We love her and are grateful she is here.
Oh and she loves to eat paper. She has destroyed more books and magazines than our dog ever did. Oh the joys of parenting :O) I love it.

Sewing attempts.

So my whole family is coming down this week (I'm so excited!) and we are getting family pictures. My mom wants us all in navy blue but we couldn't find any navy blue tops for the little girls...so I decided to make some. haha :O) This was kind of a silly idea becuase I didn't have a pattern and I have major size issues....meaning I always make things super small. I once tried to crochet hats for my nieces and nephews for Christmas and ended up making hats too small for dolls. But hopefully the tops will fit them better than the hats did. Here they are...





And what would a post be without some
picture of Norah? Here she is standing..almost walking and her cute new
cheesy grin.
