Nora 1/12 Months

Weeks 5 and 6 with Nora have been fun. As you can see above, we have started giving her an occasional bottle so that we can go on dates. Isn't Justin the sweetest daddy! Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Sue came up for a quick visit Sunday and watched her while Justin and I went to the apple orchard. Our good friends Megan and Ben are watching her next Thursday, while we go out to dinner.

The other picture is of me and Nora with my friend Molly and her daugter, Ella. We are in a young and married couples bible study with Molly and her husband Kyle on Tuesdays. We hope the girls will be good friends soon, but for now they just lay there and make noises. Ella is 5 months old. It's hard to imagine that Nora will be that size around Christmas.

Nora-One Month Old

This weekend, Nora took her first trip. We went to Wautoma with Uncle Jake to visit family there.

Nora got to meet Great Grandma Wise and Great Grandpa Weckwerth.

Here's Nora in a 4 generation picture and sporting her Packer Pride during the Packers vs. Lions game which the Packers so beautifully won. We raise our fans young here-though she slept through most of her first Packer party. Since she sleeps so much, we call her Snora.

Exciting news-Nora only woke up once (not twice or more) last night!!!

Nora-Week 2 and 3

Nora has been doing well the last few weeks. As you can see from the pictures, she sleeps a lot. She usually sleeps 15-18 hours a day in 1-2 hours chunks. She is getting up twice in the night which I am getting used to.

She is so cute. We love to see her when she's awake. Here she is on her stomach for tummy time, with Nana Terri wearing a cowgirl bib (appropriate since my mom lives in Montana) and asleep on "Auntie Megan".

Nora is starting to smile more, but it is still involuntary-though we like to think we're funny enough to make her smile. She is starting to make a few cute baby sounds and hold her head up a little more.
