swimming in Dec.

We went to the Borgess Health and Fitness Center for family swim time. (Norah loved the water), however before we went I got her dressed in her little flower bath robe and needed to get pictures, not just because she looks so cute, but she is almost too big for it! My little baby is growing so fast....but I love every new thing she does, I will just miss my little baby someday when I look back.

Christmas with the Gregersens.

It isn't easy to get a big family together for a picture with a self time camera. So I was quite pleasantly surprised to see that this picture turned out so nicely. Even the babies are looking at the camera!

Christmas pictures.

We were a little late with the Christmas portraits...since Norah wasn't feeling well I decided to wait a couple of days. She is feeling better these days....still has a cough, but overall is becoming her happy little self again. She is such a pretty baby, I can't believe that Jayme and I could make such a cute kid! =)

Merry Christmas!

Today is Norah's first Christmas...she is fighting a cold today, and really struggled to stay in the "Christmas Spirit", she spent alot of the day napping.
We enjoyed watching her open her presents, we then let her nap while we had a small ham dinner, then we all headed outdoors and went to the theater to see "Charlotte's Web" It was very good, and so was Norah, she fell asleep in the beginning and woke up, just as the movie ended. What a good girl. We ended the day visiting our friends Ray and Grace Brandon and the kids. It was nice to spend that time with them. They adore our sweet baby. It is fun to see them love on her so much. Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

dee..troit basketball

I bought Jayme, Matthew and I Piston tickets for Sat. game for Christmas. Norah enjoyed the game...after she had a nap first. Uncle Matthew bought her a Rasheed Wallace jersday, and a stocking hat with mittens. Spoiled baby!
It was a good game...Pistons won by almost 30 points.

meeting Santa

This was quite a story. We waited over two hours to get a picture with Santa....fortunetly they take your name and let you go shop and do whatever. So we did. Unfortunetly, Norah fell asleep so as we were getting close to our turn we were doing all we good to keep her happy. As she was on Santa's lap...I was taken lots of pictures and just happened to look at my camera screen, and it was saying "no memory card'!!! I couldn't believe I left it at home...in my computer. So we had to pay the outrageous price for their picture. It was $15 for one 5x7. I was so mad at myself....but Jayme kept saying it's ok. Oh well...at least we got a good picture. Because I don't want to go back and wait all over again.
Santa was very nice to her, and as you can see....she liked him too.

we're buddies

Lily (our cat) has really surprised us. She doesn't like any other people...and runs and hides when anyone comes over...we were nervous how she would react to Norah. She seems to know that she is something special and not to be messed with....or hissed at! Lily likes to play with Norah's toys....or just lie down and watch her play, out of Norah's reach of course. =)

lazy sunday afternoon

These are rare....lazy afternoons, however last week we all took a good nap. Even Norah relaxed and took a nap....that doesn't happen as often as we would like.

ho ho ho

here is another pic. of Norah is her Santa outfit...I took way too many pics. of her that day. She was just so cute...I couldn't resist.

doubled her birth weight

Norah is growing! She had her six month appt. today, and she now weighs 15.7lbs. They said she looks great! Unfortunetly, she had to get four shots today, but she did great.
As you can see, she loves to eat her cereal. And she is a messy eater...what baby isn't. She is growing up so fast, the Dr. said in another month she will be able to eat more regular foods...wow....she won't be my baby much longer. I plan to savor every moment I have left.

precious sleeping baby

There are days when she is so fussy, so whiny, so irritable, so loud!, so....difficult. But then there is that amazing moment of silence and she is asleep, so peaceful, beautiful and kissable....and I fall in love with her all over again. How wonderful it is to be her mom.
