A few quick pictures...

I have no fun stories...we have been overwhelmingly busy lately. But here are a few quick pictures & updates....

Bath time! Norah LOVES the bath & needs one often because she is one messy eater! We should buy stock in stain remover.

She has been saying mama in context for a while & finally started to say dada in the right context. It is very exciting for Casey! She has also started to call "mama" from her crib when she wakes up instead of just babbling.

This is Norah's favorite chair. In her room there is a chair with two dolls (they were both mine) and a very loved bunny that Norah received for Easter. Every time we go in her room, she crawls for the chair. She takes each doll & the bunny off her chair one by one. She touches each of their eyes, mouth and looks at their hands/paws. Then she kisses them before she plops them on the floor. When her chair is empty, she rests her head on it for a while & then climbs up to point at her flowers.

She is quite the pointer. She points at just about everything & says "mmmhmmm???" Especially light fixtures. Everywhere we go--someone's house or a store, she looks up right away to point at the light. Turning them on & off is even more fascinating!

Norah loves pillow tunnels!

Laughing at her brother...she finds him very funny!

We have been look at new child care options. When we visited one site, a little one year old girl crawled over to Stephan, crawled in his lap & hugged him tight. The teachers were surprised because she is usually shy of any strangers, even kids.

Norah is the look out when Lily goes out in the yard. If she thinks Lily is wandering away or taking too long, she taps on the window.
