Standing is the best... standing while self-medicating, even better!

This is the face of the child whose mother wishes to remove the children's tylenol from her hand... Okay, so I'll let her have for a little while longer.  No judgment please!

First Easter!

Happy Easter in my best dress!

Hello cookie, Good-bye clean baby!

These toddler cookies can occupy her for what seems like hours, but they sure do make a mess!

Looking out on a sunny day!

Playdates!

Norah loves her friends!  She recently had a blast in the bath with dear Jocie... her little twin pal who was born just three days after Norah in a room down the hall from us at El Camino.  Jocie's mom is my close friend, Tasha, whom I taught with at Covington.  Norah also spent some good time with baby Silas, Lexie's nephew.  He may be Norah's size, but don't be fooled, he's three months younger!  We love playdates!

Look Who's Growing...

I'm big enough to sit in mommy's huge chair now(and the couch, and all the beds, and anywhere and everywhere). I play with my kitty, and I roll around all over the giant hairy ground where all my toys land once released from my grip.  Yep, I'm starting to think everything I see and feel must belong to me! I think you call this "taking over".... and I love it!

and Growing...

I love eating real food! I love my big girl bowls, my big girl spoons, my big girl seat at the table, AND most of all I love my big girl bananas! (not so in love with rice cereal or carrots, unless they're disquised as bananas of course:)
