Nora at 1 Month

Can we talk about how strong this baby is??  Seriously.  She was holding her head up on day one for a few seconds.  She now holds her head up as if she is already two months old.  She is also insistent that she stand up.  Future athlete??

 
 She's been a wonderful blessing around here.  She is overall, a pretty good baby.  Or, maybe its just that we are more experienced this time around.  She loves to eat, and I'm a fire hydrant, so she has plenty to eat and sometimes to much.  She is pushing 11lbs. now.  Chunk.  Her cheeks are amazing, they are huge!  She is sleeping well also.  She is fussy only in the evenings from about 7-9pm and then she will sleep from about 9:30-2:30, and then eat again at 5am.  





Her sisters love her soooo much.  They love to hold her, kiss her, look at her, sing to her, talk to her, read her stories, and they always want to know where she is.



Nora hates strongly dislikes her car seat.  If she is sleeping when I put her in, we are good to go.  If she is awake, she is guaranteed to cry until she gets taken out, even if it's a 45 minute drive.  She has the same affinity for the bath.  She has graduated to bathing in the big tub with her sister Lilly Jeanne, because one bath is easier for mom and dad than two.

Nora is one of the most alert babies I've ever met.  When she is awake, she likes to look all around her and see what is going on.  She is going to be a thumb sucker too.  She has found her thumb once or twice already, but she still clenches her fists too much to find it all the time.


Have I mentioned how much hair she has??  She has a ton!  And it seems to be lightening a bit in color, but not in length or thickness.  AND, it is curly!  Don't ask me where that came from because I have no idea.  Her eyes are amazingly blue right now.  And I know, I know, babies eye color will change and is not set for like 4-6 months, but her eyes are more blue than her sisters' ever were.  We will see...
