Nora Evelyn

Lately Nora’s favorite pastime has become hugging, kissing, and making me kiss things (her ducky, a stuffed flower, scorch the dragon, anything [+face] [-clock]). One of her daily reports from baby school even reported that she’d spent the day hugging and kissing her teachers. We’ll need to break her of this –certainly before college– but for now it’s pretty cute stuff.

She responds to three general requests:

1. May I have a kissie? evokes either a wide open mouth pressed against you or what can best be described as an unrounded bilabial velaric ingressive (aka a bilabial click, a gentle popping sound with the lips).
2. May I have a hug? gets a very nice hug indeed.
3. Touch heads? and she’ll gently lean her head in for you to touch yours to it. I have no idea how we/she learned this behavior. It is very strange.

She will also throw her arms up in an unmistakable “hug me!” request but this behavior defies photography.
