baby lamb.

This is the only one (of about 150 pics) picture that Norah is looking at me. She looks soooo cute in this costume. I just love it.

crazy kid

I went to a Mom's Conference this weekend, and was refreshed as a mom....though I slept HORRIBLE there that night. I learned that it is ok to not have a clean house all the time, and to keep my priorities on my family. To remember...its not all about me, housework, Norah, Jayme, but its all about God and glorifying Him. I had a rough week before i went to the conference, but this is what I needed. And i was ready to come back and face this little crazy kid again with a renewed spirit and a brand new book called "Creative Correction" Watch out Norah, I am learning how to handle you...hopefully sooner than later.

new hat and coat

Here is her new winter hat and coat. Notice how she is standing...I do the same thing with my foot!! That is so weird to see your kid have the same physical tendencies as yourself. Kind of scarry too. =)

our little pumpkin

I took these pictures of Norah last week standing next to her pumpkin. I had to work hard to get her to look at me/the camera...she is ignoring me now when I have a camera in hand. In just a couple of days...we will have her Halloween pictures up. I am so excited to see how cute she will look in her costume. She has two costumes this year....Minnie Mouse and a Baby Lamb. Both look just adorable on her.

swim class

We just finished Norah's first swim class called "Babes In Arms". She loved it. She would get so excited when we walked in the pool area. It was a great way for us to have fun together and get out of the house. It was such a fun class with all the other babies there too. Very cute!!

riding a bike

Norah loves this little bike I found for her last week at a garage sale. Her legs are too short to reach the pedals and definetly too short when she tries to sit on the seat...but heh I think she is compensating quite well!!

little norah...

It has gotten chilly lately, and I brought out the new Winter coat for Norah. It is 18 month size and I got it this past Spring on Clearance. Well it is HUGE on her....as you can see. =) So we went to our favorite store OLD NAVY and had to buy her a 6 to 12 month size coat!!! That is the same size she wore last year! My little Norah. That's ok, I want her to stay little...and she is. =)

norah's needs

When Norah is in the carseat...she requests (usually by grunting, pointing, or screaming) for "Snuggles"(the bear), her paci, and her sippy cup. Then....life is good.

one little monkey jumping....

Norah was loving the trampoline at G'pa and G'ma Gregersen's house. She would run around and around, and every once and a while try to jump. It was a very warm night...so that is why she is in just a diaper.

last dr. appt.

I forgot to give the stats for Norah's last Dr. appt. She is 20.4lbs. Just barely legal in her front facing carseat. =) She is 28 inches long, too short to even be on the charts technically. But she is healthy and doing well. I made this scrapbook page of her at 15 months, so we don't forget all those wonderful quirky things she does at this fast fleeting time in her life.
