Nora: 8 and 9 months

Whew, I am soooo behind on blogging.

Life has been crazytown, y'all. Our sweet "chubby pumpkin" (as Lucy calls her) is now 9 months old!

She has celebrated her first Christmas, and New years (post to come), has 2 bottom teeth and is crawling! She does a sophisticated army crawl, which can become very quick when she sees a person, or thing she wants badly.

 She's also started pulling up to standing, and is a little babbling baby. We hear mama, dada and baba on the repeat, and I swoon at those sounds again! She is attempting some baby sign, but so far it just seems like she is playing with her hands.

With crawling, she has gotten incredibly curious. She started out timid at first, but now, every space is her tunnel, and the Christmas tree lights a new teething toy.  She started crawling the day after Christmas, and we quickly took the tree down (teeth and electricity don't mix well.)

I love to see this little blossom of her personality, and I can't wait to see what the next few months bring, before she turns ONE. (How can this be happening in the next few months!?)

We love you Nora Jo!

Nora 6 and 7 months

Our sweet Nora Jo is 7 months! Months 6 &7 have been amazing. She is sleeping through the night and her momma feels like a new woman! 

She is an eating machine and loves some fruits. True to her nature, if she doesn't like the food you are trying to get her to eat she gags dramatically and acts as if she might throw up. 

She is thinking so hard about crawling and can get her little knees up but mooshes her little face in the floor in the process and just jibber jabbers, talking into the floor. 

She is incredibly ticklish and loves to laugh.

She adores her big sister (most of the time) and has recently discovered all of her sisters toys. She rolls all over the floor until she catches one of Lucy's toys and then proceeds to slobber all over it. 

I can't believe you are on your way to being mobile, and are closer to turning one than you are being my newborn baby! We love you sweet Nora Jo.
