No Nap, Play Play Play

This past Friday, Norah thought it would be way more fun to stay up and play with Mommy instead of napping.  Mid afternoon grandma J. called and asked if she could come over with a new push toy/stroller for Norah's baby doll.  Since Norah was up and raring to go it worked out perfect. Of course Norah had to be right in on the action while Grandma got it all set up.  
Norah LOVED the new stroller, and was quite proud of herself for walking with it.  When Dad got home she had to show off for him too, cruising all over our living room.  She even let go a few times and took steps on her own.
Go figure, when Dad came home, Noah got her second or third wind, I'm not quite sure by this point.  All I know is she was in her glory.  Even though it was a long day with hardly any nap, Norah couldn't have been more happy.  I have to say we had an absolute blast hanging out together today.

Learning New Tricks

Oh Norah! Since Norah learned how to pull herself up in her crib, she doesn't always go down as easily for us.  She wants to try out her new tricks before getting some shut eye.  We decided the best way to deal with this issue, was to simply leave her in the crib until she finally decides to put herself to sleep.  So the other day, I listened and listened to her talk, laugh, cry, you name it, until finally she put herself to sleep.  I then of course had to go peek on her, and this is how I found her.  What a sad picture, I feel like we caged her in or something.  Also we are excited she is now crawling all over the place, and she is sooo proud of herself for figuring it out after all of these months of trying.
