Bring on the Lucky Charms!

Last night was a big step for Nora as we attempted her first solid food. At first she was much more interested in figuring out what dad was doing with the camera, so while it was easy to get the spoon in her mouth, it was going down her face more than her throat. It only took a few tasty bites for her to discover the "Mmmm" factor and soon she was eagerly grabbing for the spoon and bowl for more. What a good eater!

Victory smile!

Picture update

Here are some of the picture highlights from the past month or so...

Nora discovering roses with Grandma and Grandpa Barnes

Nora chillin' with Unk Ben

Sam entertaining Nora with bubbles. Whee!


Nora using her "cleavage" as a place to hang up the phone. Sam says she learned this trick from me...whatever that means.

Sam and Nora snuggling on the couch. Don't they both look so content?

Nora's trial run in the highchair. It's was a success for maybe 3 minutes.

Nora having fun with the table cloth at dinner. Is this her idea of a nose job?

Nora and Riley already holding hands. Gasp!

Nora's first trip to the zoo. I'm pretty sure she spent more time looking at Riley (the hansom boy in the picture above) than she did at the animals. She got a pink stuffed monkey as a souvenir.

Sweet Victory

For the past few weeks Nora has really been working her knees up under her body in attempt to crawl. Unfortunatly, she hasn't figured out the all-fours approach, and instead is working on the tripod bulldozer method where she uses her head as a shovel. Today I caught a brief moment of this on video.
