Happy Birthday to our dear friend, Lydia, on her 8th birthday!!!! Its been so great to watch you grow over the years, and we are excited to see the plans God has in store for you this year to come! We love you! Nori wore her special party dress just for you.
So Nori has been hard at work with this whole trying to move thing. Crawling not so much but walking and rolling, yes. The hard part is getting it on tape... every time I pull the camera out, the action stops. This is the best I could get. Enjoy. Plus, no matter what is going, on she always gravitates under the crib... its like she has a secret stash of milk hidden under there or something.
Nori is like John in so many ways... she looks like him, sleeps like him, even her nails grow like his! Now add to the list, loves cars (even pink ones)!
This is Nori playing with her long sought after toy... the laugh and learn Piano. By far the best toy she has ever had! Thanks Grandma!!!
Nori thinks she is hot stuff riding her new car... who need to crawl with wheels like this?
Nori is teaching us to look at the world in new and different ways... her favorite is to the side!
A friend of ours is starting a new venture into photography. Nori posed for her yesterday and here are some of the best shots. I am leaving the photographers name anonymous as she has not yet announced her big jump. The shoot was fun and a bit sticky(its been so hot out as of late)... and it was interesting to see Nori interacting with someone she doesn't know. We have always called her our little observer, and this day was no exception. She just wanted to sit and take everything in with her big blue eyes. By the end she felt free to smile and even flirt a bit... from the safety of my arms of course.
Saturday is the best day of the week... b/c its the only one where we have the whole day together! This week we got up early and took a nice long walk on the green way. Then after a relaxing afternoon at home we joined our friends across the street for some swimming and a light dinner. Such a lovely day!
Swimming was such an unexpected treat! Nori and I got to go twice this week, and its such a blast to swim with her... she really is the silliest little bit ever!
I thought you all might enjoy watching the new way Nori likes to play with her toys!
PS sorry about the clicking noise, still not sure what that is.
It must be hard to hold her head up all day! Love those cheeks! Love, Love, Love that girl!!!
