A little behind...

Well I have gotten behind in posting over the last few weeks, a lot has happened since then.

First we celebrated Nora's 1 month birthday by taking her picture. She looks very excited to have spent one month living in the outside world. This was the first week that she was able to really start fitting into her 0-3 month clothing as she was over 8 lbs.

As time went on Nora found her voice and began to "talk" (read: yell at me) Mainly asking for food and attention.

Nora has also started smiling at Aaron and me as we play with her and pick her up. Her favorite time to play is in the wee hours of the morning when we would love to be sleeping and she is feeling the need to be awake.
Now in present day Nora is almost 7 weeks old! She has lost much of her hair that she was born with but is starting to get lots of new little hairs, we are excited to see what color it comes in. Her little personality is developing more each day as she learns that we are wrapped around her little finger and will pick her up at the first cry. In other news she is over 10 lbs and has started wearing her cloth diapers. We love cloth diapering and feel good about putting her in diapers that are chemical free, as well as keeping a little cash in our wallets.

Omaha Visit

A few weeks ago we loaded up and headed to Omaha for the day to spend some time with several of Aaron's relatives. Along the way Nora got to meet some of her extended family. She was a peach of a child and slept most of the trip and didn't even make a peep on the carride to and from Omaha. Most of the day was spent with Nora's Great Grandma Petersen. It was love at first sight for GG Petersen, it was as if no one else was in the room, she wanted to love on her the entire time and for good reason...Nora's adorable!


Nora's Great Aunt Bea flew in from Michigan to visit with her mother and to meet our new addition. It was great to see her and I am pretty sure Nora loved all the attention from GA Bea.

Nora's cousin Philip also flew in from Michigan with his mother Bea. As soon as we passed Nora off to Philip she found a comfy place in his arms.
All in all Nora had a wonderful trip visiting family and was perfect in her role as center of attention. Who says you can spoil a child by holding them too much??
