Mamamamamamamamaaaa

So I don't think she knows what it means, but Nora's first "babble" is mamamamamamaaa.... I like to pretend she is saying Mama to me, but she says it to Greg, my mom, the cat etc... With Greg staying at home with her while I'm trying to finish up my research, he says he is trying to teach her to say dada to me when I come home at night... very funny >:(

Nora woke us up the other morning squealing, so I ran into her room and found her and Mr Kitty lying in the crib staring at each other. She looked like she couldn't have been happier and the cat looked pretty comfortable as well, so who knows how long he has been doing that for. I wish I had a picture because it was very funny in hindsight - Nora on one side of the crib, the cat in the middle, and Nora's Sugar Baby doll on the other side of the cat, all of them lying there together. However, at the time, I freaked and threw the cat across the room.

This picture is not that recent, but I wanted to post one of me and her in honor of her first babble "mama." It is from Memorial Day at Keaton Beach with my parents and my grandma. Nora had her first splash in the gulf and her first taste of watermelon that day. Apparently she loves watermelon, which is not surprising because she does have Whitfield blood and it was my primary food source for half of my pregnancy!!

Nora loves banana

Well, we haven't posted in a while, but things are going well. Nora is getting older, 6 months on June 7, and bigger, over 18 pounds now!! She is sitting up (with a little help and some by herself), rolling all over the place, and scooching around on her stomach. She is also trying out some new tastes in foods. We waited until she was almost 6 months to introduce solids, and the first try was banana, which she seems to enjoy...

Here comes some yummy mushed banana....











Hey, gimme that, I want to feed myself...











Nothing like banana smooshed all over my face...











It's all gone? Nooooooo! I want more...











Fresh baby! Banana all gone :)







Hope everyone is doing well, keep in touch, only 2 more months here before the big move to Arizona!!
