20 months

Miss Norah Paige is 20 months old today on her Daddy's birthday!

I love that she is so full of joy. When I imagine her, I see her doing her usually bouncing, dancing, laughing & singing.

I love that she greets us with wonderful enthusiasm whenever we walk into the room. "Hi Daddy!!!" Picking her up is my favorite time of the day. She flutters over to me with her arms in the air yelling "Hi Mommy! Hi Mommy! Hi Mommy!"

I love that when she runs, she says "Run! Run! Run! Run!" to herself the entire time.

I love to listen to her list people she knows. She will often make lists when she is babbling to herself. She lists her friends at school. She lists her immediate family. She lists all of her grandparents. She never mixes up the lists though. She knows which names go together.



I love that when we drive in the car, she says "Oooooh, Mommy, that!" at everything she sees. It's all so exciting to her!

I love how much she loves her little school & how much her teachers love her. One of them said Norah is an entertainer & encouraged me to get her into a group music or dance class. Another told Norah that she is a little parrot to which Norah replied "Parrot! Parrot! Parrot!"

I do not love that in a mere four months Norah will be two. Sigh. You'd think after being a mom for 10 years I would finally realize time won't stand still for me.

Today was Stephan's first soccer game of the season. He loves to test my blood pressure by volunteering to be in the goal. I do admire his confidence to try something challenging. He did a great job today & they won!
