Beauty & the Beast

I've always heard tales that I was a BIG baby, but this really puts it in perspective! One of these pics is Nora at 3 months and one is me ... I will never tell who's who ... you can decide for yourself. And, the thing is that Nora isn't exactly a petite, skinny baby. She's got lots of rolls and even cute little elbow dimples.  When I borrowed my photo my dad wanted to be sure he would get his picture back (one of his "prized possesions"). Well, I say only a parent could love that face - Wowser!

Old toys become new toys, part II

 Big brother Ben-

Little sissy-

Do these two look like siblings, or what?!

3 Months!

Up to new tricks!

Our Bunny-

My mom called me "Bunny" when I was a girl... so here's Bunny's Bunny. Happy first Easter, Nora! You're stylin' with Maggie's Easter hat and a sweet little bunny outfit from Lis and Jason!

2 months!

At her 2-month appointment Nora weighed 13 lbs. and was 24" (95% for both!). There are lots of pudge rolls to move during bath and diaper changes... such a chunk compared to her brother at this age! Nora has a buddy Max who was born eight days before her and he looks like a tiny munchkin compared to her. So funny!

First bottle-

 Yeahhhhhh.... the first bottle did not go so well and is STILL not going well. She hates bottles and we have tried three different styles. Anyone have suggestions?! Nora and I will need to be apart for more than three hours fairly soon... hmmmm. She's more laid-back than her brother was at this age, but he did awesome with a bottle.

Here we are getting ready for our family walk to the coffee shop. LOVE living so close to downtown. Ben thinks he is HYSTERICAL when he shows off his belly.
