Socks

We never have to tell Eleanor to "Put a sock in it!" she just pulls off her own socks and sticks them in her mouth.

A great deal!

Adorable bib overalls, huh? Got 'em for $1.75 at kiddie consignment shop!

Nora's Easter Dress. What a beautiful day for a beautiful little girl!

Visitors from Afar

We had visitors from Ohio and Idaho: Grandma Shawver, Aunt Brittany, and Uncle Riran (Brian). Nora loves all the attention she gets from everyone. She gets to play, read books, take snuggle naps, and play some more.

One of Nora's new favorite activities is staring at Uncle Brian. For some reason, she finds Brian fascinating. Her eyes follow him wherever he goes. Nora like to get smiles and hugs from him. She is such a flirt!

Brian and Brittany are having a great time playing with Nora and getting a little "parent practice." After all, they only have three months before Baby Bisoni is scheduled to arrive.

Outing to the Park

Today it's 65 degrees, sunny, and not a cloud in the sky. After being cooped up all winter, we just had to get outside, so we went to the Murray City Park.

Nora hasn't really been outside that much, so there were plenty of new things for her to look at and explore: cars passing by, grass, tree bark, the stream, the gazebo, kids at the playground. Just laying in the shade of a tree and staring up at the sky is a new experience.

As you can see from the picture, Nora has learned how to sit up on her own. She's getting pretty good at balancing herself when she starts to tip, but she still topples over sometimes. Mama stays pretty close to prevent any ouchies.

Chilly Spring Mornings

Marilyn (Katy's Mom) is in town for the week. Katy's sister Brittany and her husband Brian also came into town for the weekend.
We all rode Trax (the local light rail) into the city on Saturday to go to the morning session of General Conference.
I don't think the April Showers got the memo that Spring is here. We are still getting snow flurries and I don't think the flowers appreciate the cold.
This is a picture of Katy and Eleanor as we walked around the grounds at Temple Square.
