Where's the Beef?

Sorry for our hiatus on blogging. I guess we've been busy. Norah went through a rough patch where she thought that napping is for losers. That changed in dramatic fashion when she fell asleep one evening at 5:00 and, after two night-feedings, decided to prolong waking up until 8:00am the following day. For those of you scoring at home, that's 15 hours. Since then she's been napping all over the place.


Here she is dozing out on the action with Monica, Jeremy, and Sam (oh by the way, we're in Utah). I'm expecting at least one cheeky (ha) comment on this post.

This is a poor attempt to get her cry face. Just imagine a good infant cry on high volume. However, with this new stage of her growth we are pleased to report that she is definitely more alert (see below).


She has also started smiling in abundance, particularly when she decides to pull out 'the cutes'. See the following items, Exhibits A, B, & C.

Exhibit A. Stop it. Actually, keep going.

Exhibit B. Establishing eye contact.

Exhibit C. Look what I can do: Here's my Papa Scott impersonation.

Meanwhile, Norah and Lily have had some playtime, and it's pretty apparent that they are going to be best buds. This picture doesn't show it, but when left to their own devices, Lily really likes to lunge to grab at her cousin.


Okay, I can read the signs: time to wind this blog post down. Anyway, she's beefing up and adding chins and other rolls daily. We'll try to keep you posted on a more consistent basis.
