its beginning to look like christmas

Another adorable picture of my baby.

pretty smile

This picture was taken when I was getting ready for a photo shoot that was going to be done at my house. Norah was helping me by sitting there and letting me practice on her. I love her smile in this picture...she is not much of a smiler so I just treasure it when i can get a picture of it.

decorated for Christmas

We decorated the house the other day for Christmas. Norah loves to look at the Christmas tree, and try to touch the lights....if I would let her. =) We are looking forward to her first Christmas. Our Christmas celebration takes on a whole new meaning now.

This is one of my favorite outfits of Norah's. It is getting to small, so I wanted to get some pictures. Can you believe she will be 6 months old next week!?!? Wow...

clipping coupons.

Norah loves to "help" me when I am clipping coupons on Sunday afternoons. She loves to play with all the scrap paper. She makes a big..BIG...mess, but loves it. You just have
to keep an eye on her because she likes to eat the paper! She is really getting the sitting think down good now. She loves to practice it.

Cousins...buddies.

Marshall sure loved to make Norah laugh....he was good at it too. She loved to watch him and just giggle. Marshall is proudly holding his soccer trophy from this season. We were able to watch him "play" (if you call running aimlessly around a soccer field playing) his last game. He scored a goal...in the wrong net...but we didn't tell him that. He told me later that day that he hates soccer now...I asked him why and he said "because it hates me". He obviousely didn't like that sport too much. He wants to try baseball next. Heh he's five years old..he has time to decide what he wants to do. =) In the soccer picture....Marshall is the guy lagging behind in the blue hooded sweatshirt, and hands in his pockets. =) He wasn't into the game all that much at that point in time. It was fun to watch him...goofy kid.

We're on vacation!

Hi everyone. We just got back from vacation from North Carolina...visiting Marie, John, and of course Marshall. We had a great time. Auntie Marie just loved spending time with Norah. Too bad they don't live closer....
Marshall is getting so big, and he just loved playing with Norah...he was so gentle with her, and kept saying he loved her. Norah got to pet Auntie's horses. She loves animals! Marshall proudly showed off his SUPERMAN costume from Halloween, but he told me that BATMAN is still his favorite. I miss that little guy already, we had a great time.
