Miss Nora Caroline is 7 months old today. Amazing! Everyone told me that time would fly by ... how right they were! I can't believe that our sweet baby girl is getting so big! Her little personality has definitely shown through - every sweet, sassy and stubborn side of it! She is so cute and sweet that we just want to eat her up! I think that we kiss her at least 100 times each day. You'll have to increase that number over the past week since Mom has been here visiting. This is one spoiled grand baby! I guess that it pays to be the first girl grandchild!
We're having a great time with Mom. She arrived the Saturday afternoon before Thanksgiving. She and Frisky, the dog, couldn't sleep so they left Gulf Shores at 2:15 in the morning to drive to Dallas. Craziness! We were excited, not to mention a bit surprised, when they arrived so early. She was thrilled to see Miss Nora and couldn't believe how big she has gotten. They have had a really good time together. Mom kept her home from school all last week and spoiled her just a bit. Nora thought that she had to be held constantly for a few days, but we've gotten her over that silly notion. They have had so much fun playing and snuggling together - so sweet. We had a nice, quiet Thanksgiving this year, just the four of us. Definitely different from years past, but still nice with lots to be thankful for each day.

We've done some fun stuff and Mom has been baking and cooking up a storm. Thank goodness for being spoiled! I'll have to upload some pictures later in the week.
A couple of fun Nora updates for now...
- She started crawling - backwards! Too funny. She ended up getting stuck under the bed in her room and was not too happy about it. She is a mess!
- Nora loves, loves her toys. She can sit and play by herself for a long time. Yippee - I can actually get a few things accomplished.
- Her favorite activity right now is jumping in her doorway jumper (thank you Henline family!). She gets going so high and just loves going jumpy, jump.
- Mark can make her giggle like no one else. He makes her lose her breath laughing and it is so cute and sweet that it makes me want to cry. He is such a good daddy.
- Nora loves her baby food. She tries and likes everything. It's been lots of fun making her new creations every few days.
