Nora's Baptism

Nora was recently baptized at our church, and we were so excited to have our family and friends join us for this special occasion. Of course, it would have been nice to get some more pictures of her in her Christening gown, but she just couldn't stand being all dressed up any longer. Despite doing fabulously before and during the baptism, she pitched a fit about five minutes after. Of course, we were sitting at the front of the church and had to walk all the way to the back to get out. And as soon as the dress came off and she got to wear play clothes, everything was just fine again... I guess we will have to all re-dress up in the same outfits and stage a few shots for the scrapbook!

Why I get no work done...

It is pretty hard to get much work done around the house these days. The digital camera is a double edge sword. I love the instant gratification and the big memory card (no wasting film...), but I seem to have to take a picture of every new experience in Nora's life.

Here she is, hanging out with her buddy "Sugar Baby," a stuffed toy my grandmother made for me as a baby.












And here she is traveling around the house via "boxcar," her favorite form of transportation, and hanging out with her "cool Aunt Sarah," who has promised to spoil Nora rotten and make sure that Mommy dresses her in accordance with current styles (okay, just no skinny baby jeans Sarah!)
