Bath Time (If you're offended by baby butts, look away.)

Nora has discovered the delights of undressing herself. Here's one example:

It's 7:30. Time for my bath!

Okay! Let me just get rid of this pesky diaper.

This way to the bathroom!

Oh, wait. I need to throw this old diaper away.

Did it really go in there? Oh, yeah. There it is!

As adorable asleep...

...as she is awake.

My Sweet Nora

Nora is growing up so fast! So smart and pretty. She surprised us all by beginning to talk around twelve months. By 15 months, she had about 100 words. We've stopped counting because we just can't keep up with her.

Now she's almost 17 months, with beautiful coppery hair and a smile that will melt your heart.

Boo Baby

Reading is her favorite activity. She'll crawl into your lap and shove a book into your hands.
