Nora's 6 Month Stats (and new pictures!)

Nora actually turned 6 months old on November 1st. It's just taken me 25 days to update the blog with that breaking news… Mark and I took her to see Dr. Wong for her 6th month appointment on November 14th and got her updated stats:

Height 27 1/4 inches (95%)
Weight 17 lbs., 11 oz. (85%)
Head 43 (70%)

We've got a tall, strong, healthy little baby girl. She just makes our life so special each and every day. What a blessing from the Lord!

Check out this sneak peak at her 6 month pictures that my friend, Jessica Starr (Jessica Starr Photography) took:

On Halloween night we spent a fun evening at Bill and Lisa's house for the second year in a row. Whoa! How things change in a year. Last year it seemed like Will was still a baby and now he's such a big boy. Plus, I was really sick with little Princess Peanut, who we didn't even know was a peanut at that time. Craziness! This year we had a crowd, with 4 little babies - Nora, Isabella, Sloane and Baby Charlie. They were all so cute, along with the "Big" kids. We had a fun dinner and then did a little truck or treating up and down the street. I think that Will had more fun handing out individual pieces of candy to each trick or treater, while telling them exactly what it was! So cute! Here are a few pictures from that night...

It's Beyond Time ... for a new post!

The Newman family (aka Leslie) has been a huge slacker when it comes to our blog. The past month has just flown by! The last time that I was going to do a post was from Trunk or Treat at our church, so I guess that is where I'll start!

On the Sunday before Halloween, my Mom to Mom group at church hosted their annual Trunk or Treat event. How fun that we got to go this year! Lots of our friends and their kiddos came all decked out. Here are some fun pictures from that Spooktacular evening...

I love, love this picture of Elizabeth and Nora.
It looks like their are having this in-depth conversation. Too cute!

The whole crew!

First Food

So, after making Nora's baby food over the past few weeks and sticking it in the freezer, we finally gave Miss Nora her first taste of some real food. Of course we had to capture the moment. Imagine that!

Yum! I love these peas! More please - I think that I still have some room on my face!
