Finally


I finally got a smile. She just gets so serious when she sees that camera. She has such an adorable smile. I hope to get lots of pictures of it in the future.

family



Here is Norah with her families....four generations are represented in these pics. Norah is fortunate to have these picutres to look at years from now.

enjoying the summer


Here we are at Indian Lake with our "other family" the Millers. It was a beautiful day...we love going out there on Sunday afternoons and just relax by the water. It's nice that Norah is such a good baby and just goes with the flow...she loves to be outdoors.

sitting pretty


This picture was taken at my mom's house...Norah loves to practice sitting and standing. I love this picture....if only she was smiling....those smiles are few and far between...she makes you earn her smiles.

aubrey and norah


Aubrey and Norah are second cousins, and share a wonderful Great Grandma...Grandma Opal. They both are named after Grandma Opal...she must be a very special lady. =)
Aubrey was so gentle with Norah ...Norah fell asleep in her arms. I wish we lived closer to them....I think Aubrey will be a good babysitter.

favorite place


Norah loves her changing table...go figure! Who would have thought. There is nothing there to see, but she loves to just lie there and look around at....who knows. Whatever works to keep her happy for a few moments.

first smile


We finally got Norah's smile on camera. She is shy when the camera comes around and just refuses to smile, but I distracted her, and we got a cute one dont you think!

shopped out


Norah and i went on a shopping trip and she was so tired (and Cranky) Well I laid her down in the cart of clothes, popped in her paci, and she slept for over an hour like that. She was such a good baby on this trip.

starting to focus


We went on a road trip about one week ago and Norah was just starting to focus on her to
ys, and it was so cute because she would go cross eyed all the time....in just one week she is a pro, she is tracking and focussing so much better.

ready for a walk


Norah and I like to go for walks....well she rides in her stroller. We were just about to go for a walk, and daddy took our picture. Look she has her walking shoes on....these are her first shoes that are small enough for her. She usually likes to go for walks. She really likes to be outdoors.
We are buddies.

mommy loves pooh


Most people know I love Winnie the Pooh....poor Norah gets to live out my fantasy in all the Winnie the Pooh clothes. They are so cute. I have lots of Pooh hats for her. =) She really doesn't like hats too much, but she tolerates them long enough for a picture or two....or ten.

pretty in pink


This picture was taken right before church on Sunday. She looks so cute in all those adorable outfits I have for her....but seeing her in a fancy dress...she is irresistable. Sorry the picture is fuzzy.
