friends...

nora makes a habit of holding her juice while eathing breakfast... like i might take it away.... on friday david was off, and nora decided to help him write his paper! (not sure she was a whole lot of help!!) and in case we haven't mentioned, our 50 pound black lab thinks she is a lap dog! david sat down to read to nora, and sadie climbed right on into his lap!! poor girl was afraid she would miss something!!

we love our friend, jeffrey. nora got to play with jeffrey and his mom on tuesday when i had a doctor's appointment. nora made herself at home on the doggy bed and tried to share her snacks. on the flipside, we got to play with jeffrey while his mom went out. the kids read with david while i cooked dinner. the kids were entertained with baby einstein while we ate (don't worry, i did make them back up from the tv screen!!!). i did feel better that mine wasn't the only kid obsessed with baby einstein!!

the kids could be an ad for sippy cups... we didn't plan to use the same ones! but, great moms think alike!! and, we caught nora with my cell phone this week... scary that she apparently knows how to text! she runs and hides with the phone, however, because she knows that she's not allowed to have it!

nora can say a lot of things now. as shown in the video, she found her hop on pop book, sat down and started saying "hop pop hop pop". it was cute! the phone rang the other day, and i said "oh it's mom-mom". so nora replied, "bub-bub" (her version of mom-mom). she can say "car-car".

on the flip side, she definitely knows how to tell us when she DOESN'T like something... today, she was crying because she couldn't have something. she stalked into her room, we heard a brief stop in the crying, and saw her head peek around the corner, like, "doesn't anyone care that i am upset???"

thankfully, she really only shows her attitude to us. she stays in the nursery on tuesdays and thursdays while i have bible study, and every time i go to pick her up, they want to know what i do to make my daughter so enjoyable! everyone else will cry, and she just plays. she can see the older kids outside, and just wants to go play with them!! my cute, big girl!!
