9 Month Update

   We have a Nine Month Nugget!

                           

                         

She had her check up and just as we suspected, she's practically perfect in every way!

Weight: 19 lbs 14 oz

Height: 2 ft. 4 in.

She woke up and seemed to be more congested than she has been the last couple of days. Hopefully the stuffiness means this cold is on it's way out. She's pretty tired of it.

                         

                   

You: Make an awesome fish face, feed yourself yogurt drops and puffs, walk around the coffee table, say mama, caught your first cold, started sprouting 4 top teeth, give lots of kisses, clap, and shake your booty!

                     

                   

                 

                

                 

You Love: Blowing raspberries, shrieking, scooting around in the bathtub, rice cereal and vegetables, and GETTING INTO EVERYTHING!

                   

You don't like: Getting in your car seat, getting your diaper changed, and bananas. 

                   

This was your last monthly photo to be taken here in this apartment. It's a little bittersweet because this is where we brought you home, but how wonderful is the new home you get to grow up in!? Cant wait to create tons of new memories.

Halloween 2016

So I decided pretty early on that Norah would be a "Golden Girl" and that I'm going to choose these funny costumes until she has an opinion of her own and wants to be something boring like a princess.

I made the wig by gluing cotton balls to a beanie and the glasses were from the doll making section at Hobby Lobby. She already had the outfit so the whole costume cost about $5!

Love how the wig created that perfect old lady wrinkle in her forehead

Linus was an Aviator for his Puppy Pawty!

Norah made a pretty cute puppy

Enjoying a Pupcake

But, Norah and Linus' favorite part of the weekend was meeting and hanging out with Aunt Leah and Uncle Jeff! She was sooooo comfortable with them like she's known them her whole life!

       

Babies First Pumpkin

Last weekend we took a little family trip up to Oak Glen for some pumpkin picking and apple cider donuts!

Norah was more interested in the dirt than anything else, but she ended up with a tiny little pumpkin that she held all the way home.

Hard to believe that last year when we were there, she was in my belly!

Eight Month Update

Can you believe it!? Eight months. It doesn't even seem possible, yet I have a hard time remembering my life without you.

This month has been a little tough. You became more mobile and daring. You'd be perfectly content roaming the house climbing on things if we let you.

You surprised us with two little teeth which explains why this month has been a rather grumpy and clingy time for our usually chill nugget.

Aren't they cute!?

You accompanied us on our 5 year anniversary date and got to dress up and go to a fancy lunch. Luckily it was outdoors because you spent the majority of the time blowing raspberries and shrieking with excitement. Dad bought you a Peppa Pig and your eyes lit up like it was the best thing you've ever seen. 

You had your first and probably last lemon...

You're still the funniest baby I've ever met. We've been told that you need to become an actress.

You went to two Kings games where you slept half of the time and entertained the crowd the rest of the time (You even tried to share other peoples snacks without asking).

You are just the most special, little peanut head!
