Week 51 - Striking some poses!

WOW!  Norah has the absolutely most gorgeous blue eyes I have ever seen in my life - check out those baby blues!  This week included a big day for our girl - June 5th - when Norah stopped screaming for help to get down from a standing position and started plopping herself down on the floor all by herself.  She has such a ball doing this!  She'll crawl over to anything that she can pull herself up on just so she can plop herself down.  In other big news on June 5th, she walked behind a push toy for the first time, stood on her own (at the ottoman while banging toys together) and climbed the 1st flight of Grandma and Pa Pa's stairs!



What a pose!  She strikes this when she's waiting on Mommy to get her more food or to get her cleaned up and out of her chair...



Finally - a good shot of her 4 chompers...



Little Miss Lazy Bones!  She often crawls over to her sippy cup, leans over and takes a swig; apparently it's just too much work to pick up the cup!  



Norah is still not too hip on having things in her hair...



But sometimes she'll humor us and try to put her hair clip back in all by herself.  She also likes to humor herself by playing in Baxter's and Hobbes' food and water dishes!  Although she thoroughly enjoys this pastime it grosses Mommy out (I usually put the pets dishes up out of the way but sometimes she just gets there before I do!)

Week 50 - Preparing for Mount Everest

Norah is such a sweet and happy baby doll!  Look at those rosy red cheeks...



Her undisputed favorite toy is still the table that MaMoo bought big brother Nathan years ago...



Looks like she's ready to move on from breastfeeding to cow's milk...



Ha - looks like she's locked behind bars!  I just love how she's still so tiny - look at that little body - like a living doll...



Here we go!  Pictures of her first attempt at climbing the stairs - and she did quite well!  Here she is making sure that they're good and tasty...



And that they're good and sturdy...



And she's off and climbing...



Ah yes, one of Norah's favorite pastimes is lifting the lid of the toilet and splashing around before Mommy finds her (Mommy really just needs to remember to keep the bathroom door closed at all times)...



YAY!  June 2, 2012 marks the first time that I found Norah standing in her crib when I went to get her up.  Another first from this week is that Norah has started patting me on the back while hugging me - so sweet!
