The Big 24!

I had the best birthday weekend a girl could ask for!  The weekend started off with Lindsay, Sam and Amri coming in town on Thursday.  And let me just say... I have the greatest sister in the whole world.  Even with 5 years between us, she is my best friend and I was so grateful that she would come spend my birthday with me!  We went to the St. George Rodeo on Thursday night and had a blast!  I absolutely love rodeos and decided to make it a yearly birthday tradition..it was that fun!

On Friday, I went to breakfast with Lindsay, Sam and Amri, then we went to the pool and waited for Tyson to get home.  Tyson was in Atlanta all week for work, so I was thrilled to have him fly home on my birthday.  He met us for lunch at Paradise Bakery.  Friday night I went to Bunco and my beginners luck won me the high score prize!  Woot woot!

On Saturday, my mom treated us to a girls day!  We went to lunch and then to Red Mountain Spa for pedicures.  That night we all went out to dinner at Durango's and had cake and opened gifts afterward.  It was such a fun weekend and I feel so blessed to have spent it with my awesome family!

 Dinner at Durango's (and no, I cannot explain Norah's look of terror)

Cause you're never too old for a birthday sash

Amri is just darling and takes such good care of Norah

Isn't she the cutest?!

Here's to an awesome 24th year!  Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Norah is 4 Months!

Well I kinda missed the three month post, so here is what Norah has been up to in the past 2 months!  We feel blessed to have her in our family!

-Is a drool machine and her finger sucking doesn't help. But she hates having her mouth wiped.

-Has really discovered her hands. She holds them together up in front of her face and stares at them.

-Has started to sleep through the night more consistently. She usually sleeps from 9pm until 6ish.

-Is laughing more and more and has the sweetest little giggle.

-Loves our evening walks in her stroller!  Can't wait for it to cool down, so we can do more of that.

-Thinks it's pretty funny when Mom does little raspberries on her tummy or when Dad plays peek-a-boo with her.

-Manages to flip herself 180 degrees in her crib every night, so in the morning her feet are at the opposite end of the crib that they started.

-Does great going to sleep at night and for her morning nap, but other naps can be a little hit or miss.

-Loves swimming at grandma and grandpa's pool. 

-Was 12 lbs. at the doctor on 8/11 (41st percentile).

-Gets so excited when we come to get her out of her crib after she wakes up.  That is probably when we get the biggest smiles.

-Favorite position is definitely standing.  She has the strongest little legs and we can rarely get her to sit down.

-Loves bath time and has discovered that kicking her legs makes the water splash.

-Grabs onto her toys and puts them straight into her mouth.  She loves them!

-Started to touch her hair and ears when she eats.  It is so cute!

-Was able to meet her great grandma June, who turned 96 this year!  They loved meeting each other!
