A Date with Mommy

Daniel has had a bit of a rough time adjusting since Nora's been born. I'm sure it's hard learning to share your mom and dad with another sibling and not being the center of attention anymore. So, I decided Daniel and I needed some special one-on-one time. I told Daniel that we were going on a date...just mommy and Daniel. First of all he thought the word "date" was funny. Then he looked a little confused and said "And Nora?" so I said "No, not Nora. Just mommy and Daniel!" You could just see the wheels turning in his head as he processed the idea. It was nice to have some time with just the two of us. Our date consisted of pizza (Daniel's request), cupcakes at a cool bakery called Crumbs and a trip to the library. It was perfect. What a sweet little guy I've got!

Nora 4 months old

Nora is almost 5 months old now - but we had her 4 month appointment before Christmas. She was only 10.8 lbs. and 23.5 inches long. She is tiny but strong! Nora is such a delight. She rolls over now, loves to grab toys and her feet, and loves to watch Daniel act crazy. Daniel is the only one that can really get her laughing a big belly laugh. She has a low voice and growls a lot when she "talks." Her most talkative time is usually around 7 or 8 p.m after Daniel is asleep. It's like she knows Daniel is asleep and she doesn't have to worry about him coming over to clobber her.
