“She’ll grow up so fast.” “Don’t blink or she’ll be leaving for college before you know it.” Sadly, it’s true:-(

The Silent Sprinter

I won’t go making any predictions here, but it’s crazy to me just how fast that little peanut is! She’s twice as quiet as she is fast, too. Nora’s making excellent use of her more stable mobility using it to bring destruction and disorder to any clean, orderly room in the house. One of these days I’m going to let her romp around and follow her with the video camera just so you all can see what it’s like! Alas, who can stay mad at that face?

But seriously, Nora’s sneaky! She can reach door handles around our apartment and in a few fractions of an inch will probably be able to turn them. This is scary stuff, people. Scary! Before we know it she’ll be getting up on weekend mornings and making herself breakfast while Mom and Dad sleep in. Wait a second — that doesn’t sound so bad! We can wait for that, for now just stay little Nora!

Her Things

This should come as no surprise, but Nora is all about her things. Spatulas, an empty cereal box, a wooden spoon — no matter what it is her things will come with her as she makes her way around the house. Sometimes she’ll leave things behind in other things (her favorite is to hide Mommy’s cell phone inside of our mini-crockpot). She’s getting quite skilled at getting on all fours and looking under furniture for her things, too, at first I thought she was giving the ground hugs :-)

Bwweeeeeeeeeeee

Enough said :-D
