Sometimes putting cranky Nora in the stroller and going for a walk really does help her get to sleep. For this particular picture I only had to walk 1.8 miles before she zonked out.
Nora ate solid food for the first time yesterday. Apart from the beginning where she grabs the bowl (like it’s a cup of water) and tries to drink it I think this went pretty darn well. MP4 version is much clearer but the youtube version should download faster.
Nora met her new cousin Kacie Elizabeth yesterday but, I’m afraid, found the dogs a great deal more interesting. Here’s a photograph to capture the moment. Welcome to Earth, Kacie! It’s Mostly Harmless.
Here we see Nora taking an interest in Charlie the dog. We also see my big, ugly knee, but that really couldn’t be helped — sorry. As expected, her first official act was to grab his ear firmly and pull. Charlie was a very good sport about this but kept his distance for the remainder of our visit. :)
Nora and I took advantage of the balmy Ann Arbor spring weather to toss on our snow suits and try out the new stroller her Granny McGowan bought her yesterday. This thing is really comfortable and easy to push and, as you can see, Nora likes it too.
We said no blankets. That’s three blankets*. Can’t you count!?
Also, today is Nora’s five month birthday. Happy birthday, little bean!
* yeah, we know the baby isn’t supposed to sleep with blankets yet.
Nora seems to like her new cup (no BPA, no pthalates, no cthulu) but she doesn’t *quite* get how it works yet.
It won’t be much longer and we’ll have to get Nora her own computer.
Who doesn’t like to curl up with their favorite giraffe after a long day?
Nora can’t really stand on her own yet, but with some external maternal stabilization she’s happy to get some wear into the old Robeez.
