Norah and Uncle Matthew

Norah wasn't too sure what to think of her Uncle Matthew....smart girl. She took most of the day to "warm up" to him. I wish he could visit her more often, I think they would get along quite well.

Family Pictures

We went to South Haven and had a photographer friend take our family pictures on the beach. Norah did really good...until it came time to take pictures. She was really tired by the time we started the pictures. Oh well...I still think they turned out nice. These are some of my favorites.

first time swimming in a kiddie pool

We were at Rebecca's house with Gracie and Ella. The girls loved swimming in the pool. It was quite a warm day, and they enjoyed playing together in the water. Norah loves playing with other kids. She is a very social baby.

photo shoot...

This little stinker didn't want to have her picture taken, that is becoming more and more common. Not good for the photographer mom. This was the best we got of her with her baloons. Thank goodness daddy was there. She always smiles for him.

12 month check up.

Norah had her 12 month check up. She has gain only one pound since her nine month check up....shoot, I have gained more than that these past three months! =( She is "tiny" but very healthy. She is short, heh she is an Outman!! The Dr. said she looks great. It is so cute watching her walking all over the place now with those short chubby legs. She now plays "peek a boo", and loves to wave Hi and Bye to everyone. She is just so much fun....most of the time. =) We just love that sweet girl. We are so blessed, what an amazing 12 months it has been!

Norah loves to climb!!

This rocking chair was for another baby's photo shoot, but Norah couldn't resist climbing up on it. She loves to climb...anything!
