Nora Evelyn

Nora cost us $9.15 last month with 3 separate 1 minute calls to directory assistance on 3 separate days.

On a related note, this morning she was talking on her play cell phone and told me Alan Doyle was on the line. I took the phone, had a brief conversation with him about the pitfalls of being a famous Canadian celtic folk rocker, and gave her back the phone. Apparently convinced that he really was on the line Nora started stroking and kissing the phone.

jen: you like Alan?
Nora: yes!
me: is Alan your boyfriend?
Nora: yes!
all three of us: *sigh*

I’ve been introducing Nora to different musical instruments lately to see if she’s interested in any of them. So far her keenest interest has been in the slide whistle that belonged to her granddad Hogarty and my tin whistles. Here are a couple of photos of her performing for the fish.

Nora loves pianos even when they *don’t* have big, pretty google eyes, giant chompers, and wildly unfortunate color and layout design flaws. Here’s Grandma giving her a lesson:

and, later, Nora rockin’ out on her own. Her Grandpa McGowan would have loved this… *sniff*

(many thanks to grandma and grandpa for sending us the pictures)

Here’s a picture of Nora dancing to “Dancing Queen”. Really. Apparently she loves ABBA (but who doesn’t?).
