Never a Dull Moment

This is some video footage I took of Norah a couple of weeks ago. One of her favorite things to do is to lay on our bed and shake her arms and legs. I'm still not sure if she knows they are a part of her own body yet.

There's a real climax in the footage that you don't want to miss.

(You only need to watch the first 50 seconds)

7 weeks old

Here is a nice full body shot at 7 weeks. At her 6 week appointment Norah weighed in at 10 lbs. exactly. I can't believe how much bigger she has gotten in just 6 weeks!

My first plane ride

Norah's first plane ride. Luckily for everyone this is what she did most of the way:

West Coast Tour, Part II

After an awesome 2 weeks with family and friends in Utah, we flew up to Seattle for a week at Riverbend with Nathan's family.

Nathan's parents were in heaven with all their kids and two grandkids there:

We were in heaven too, I mean look at this place:

(quite a contrast to the view out our window in New York. I mean there was fresh air, a thriving eco-system... we even saw wildlife! A whole family of racoons are living in the tree next to the house.)

Norah had some good bonding time with cousin Sam

(my daughter has become a pacifier addict... more on that later)

Croquet happened:

chess happened:

And a lot of sitting around and relaxing happened:

It was so great, just look at this happy girl:
