Almost made it....

Last night we heard Norah cough in bed and Dennis' next words were, "I hope she isn't getting sick" Well, she just may be. At nearly 8 months Norah my have what I had, just a bad head cold. We were hoping she would last the entire first year without getting sick, but can't complain she is such a healthy kid. She seems to be taking her first cold pretty well, I am sure that may change too.

Special Photos

Norah waiting with Daddy before the photo op.

I was asked by the commander to take the Squadron photo, I don't think I did half bad.

Us in front of the MOS's F-16. Dennis had a ceremony for making Msgt (select) and I attended making the most of a night out with the Mr. Me, Stephanie and Kristin enjoying a few drinks before the ceremony kicks off.Receiving his certificate.

Norah at Seven Months

Norah has done a lot this past month, heck this past week!! She has gotten her ears pierced, learned to stand in her crib and even grabbed a few diapers from her changing station. She has cut another tooth with one more working its way in, making it a grand total of 5 teeth so far (two on bottom and three on top). Norah has also started to crawl, yes I said crawl. She doesn't move fast (if she is anything like her mother) she takes her time observing others and learning from them. She has even taken to drinking out of a sippy cup, often time she thinks it's her mom's milk and has difficulty getting the water out.

Norah and Daddy

What a mischievous face

I love the looks she gives, there is much love behind them.

Norah trying to grab Bella's tongue......Bella was just happy to be able to lick her.

Norah rocking back and fourth on all fours, getting ready to crawl.

Norah after she ate.....I don't think she can eat any more. Instead of Norah eating her own feet, she tried to eat Daddys'..........Yuck! "I'm going to eat you." Norah has figured out how to get her diapers from beside her crib.

Norah on the move.

Standing in her crib.....she isn't suppose to grow this fast!

Hanging out with Mommy

Today was the day.....

I feel so bad, but I had to inflict pain on my little girl. Norah entered her first tattoo parlor today....and she will not be going back anytime soon. We had to take her there to get her ears pierced. Yes, that was the pain I was referring to.
Here is Norah before her piercing. Happy as a clam......just wait you won't be happy soon and I am sorry.

Getting ready.....

Okay, I was more nervous than she was. Norah just wanted to know why in the heck this girl was touching her ears.

Norah after the lady just pierced her right ear.

Norah kept turning her head towards the lady once she put her hands near the side of her face. She knew what was going to happen and tried to avoid it at all costs.

After her ears were pierced. Poor girl.

I will attach some pictures of the day after so you can see Norah in a better mood. Poor thing was a little more fussy than usual. Could be that she is cutting 3 teeth as well....

Out For a Walk

Sunday we went out for a walk in the perfect weather. I was able to get a few pictures of one of the many vineyards that are still waiting to be harvested this month.
Bella and I in front of the vineyard. A few shots of the vineyard....hope you like them.

Norah Bella, and Daddy at the end of the vineyard waiting for mommy. Norah fell asleep reading her Farmyard Friends book.

Daddy and Norah. I took a few pictures just because she was so happy after her nap.
