Nora 3 1/2 Months

Nora seems to be growing very slowly at times. She is now 3 1/2 months but still fits into a lot of her 0-3 month clothes. In fact, I have a 3-6 month snowsuit but had to buy this 0-3 month suit to fit her for now. It's pretty cute huh? The weather has turned very cold and she definitely needs it! Here Grandma Sue was holding her before we left to visit Great Grandma Barb last weekend. I can't wait to jump to the next size because I have about 3 wardrobes of 3-6 month girl's clothes.

At the same time, Nora seems to be growing so quickly. She's starting to grab at things and bring them to her mouth. She is also rolling over more frequently and is much more vocal lately. It's so exciting to see all these changes in her and to know much more are coming.

Oregon Family Visit

Here are Justin, Nora, my sister Sydney, my Dad, Grace and me at a Packer party last Sunday in the game against the Vikings. Unfortunately, the Vikings won;-(. Good thing the Packer killed the Bears 37-3 yesterday!!! We really enjoyed our family's visit. We ate a lot and played many games. There was a lot of laughing and teasing about the election resluts.

My dad also treated Nora to a little concert on the guitar. Cute!

Nora Kay and Emma Kae

When Nora first saw Megan and Ben's baby, Emma, she didn't know what to think.

Then, we explained to her that Emma is a new girlfriend that she will grow up with. Their next meeting went a lot better!
Emma Kae Holmen was born on Election Day and weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz.

Packer Game and Hula

Here is Nora in her Hula Girl Halloween costume.

She is also deep in thought during a Packer Game.

Bumbo and family visit

My Uncle Ed and Aunt Jackie swept into town for a quick visit to see family in the midwest. They currently live in Spokane, Washington. They are not the only west coast family to visit. On Friday, my dad, Grace and sister Sydney will be coming into town for a long weekend with us.

Here is Nora, trying out her Bumbo baby sitter-a present from Justin's cousin Jordan and his wife. She seemed to like it, but can't totally hold her head up yet. More pictures coming soon, including Nora's Halloween costume and her newest friend. My dear friend Megan who is due on election day is already in the hospital having contractions.
