not much, how about you?
Some of you may have noticed that we’ve been off the air for a while. What can we say? Raising a baby while in grad school and/or working is hard. We’re likely to be similarly spotty for the next couple of weeks and I promise this hurts us more than it hurts you.
This has been a big week. Nora rolled over for the first time on Tuesday and absolutely scared the crap out of herself. She cried so hard Jennie and I actually checked to make sure she hadn’t sprained her wrist or something. She’s finally gotten to see the sun and smell what fresh air smells like — she seems fond of both. She really enjoys having books read to her now (and will reach out to turn pages and chew on the book). She also seems to maybe be spinning up to start teething. Yay? Finally, I have to say a giant “thank you!” to each of Nora’s grandmas. They each came over to watch Nora for us at different times this week and I can’t imagine how we’d have survived otherwise.
Here’s a picture of Nora wearing her storied fish onesie. The onesie was a gift from Zara who, in turn, had been given the onesie by La but with artwork by me. Nora appreciates both this rich history and the fact that she apparently finds the shirt delicious.
p.s. oh! those adorable brown pants from the post just before this one? Those pants don’t fit her anymore (she wore them twice).

I’m glad the Fishe onesie has made its encore! Nora rocks it hard core :) Z wore it at a much younger age, as the style in ’05 was apparently to wear your onesies bigger and baggier. How trends change in just a few short years… ;) Here’s a 4 week old Z and Auntie Clare in case anyone wants to see the back, too

actually, she’s been wearing it pretty much since you gave it to us. I just finally got ’round to taking a picture.

I *knew* we’d taken pictures of her in this onesie when we first got it: Here’s the first time she put Z’s onesie on:
