Our Baby Girl Is 9 Months Old

How did 9 months go by so quickly?  Norah had her 9 month check up this week.  We praise God for a healthy, happy, VERY active little girl.  Everything looked great at Norah's appointment.  She now weighs 20lbs, and is 28 inches, which puts her in the 75th percentile for both height and weight, right where she has been all along.  This week Norah figured out how to pull herself up in her crib to standing.  I guess when Dad gets home from his trip to Massachusetts we will be lowering that crib mattress.  Mom didn't know what she saw when she walked in the room. Norah also started crawling around a little bit this week, although she still would rather be walking.  She only crawls a few inches to where she wants to go and then goes right back to sitting position.  She also started saying ma ma ma mum mum mum.  Finally! She has been saying da da da for a few months now.  She also pointed at our dog and said dooog.  I was quite excited. So much is happening lately, it is so much fun watching the development take place, and of course we are so proud.  I guess that is all for now, still waiting for that first tooth to pop through.

Enjoying All The Snow

I Can't really say we have been to busy lately.  With all of this snow and single digit weather, we have  been staying in where it is warm.  We did however get out this past Sunday to see just how much snow we really had.  Norah LOVED being out in the fresh air.  She even managed to eat some of it. Even though Norah got a little damp and a little cold, she was happy the whole time.
