Update

4:45 PM



It has been such a long time since I have updated!  Things are going great around here - very busy.  Norah is such a ham.  She makes us laugh, but at the same time she can make us want to scream.  She is such a little joy to have around the house.  She loves being the center of attention - what 12 month old doesn't?  Her newest thing she is doing is walking around like a little old woman.  She hunches her back and shrugs her shoulders, swinging her arms in front of her.  It is such a riot.  She loves to talk.  My goodness!  If you call me, most likely you will hear a little voice in background talking as much if not more than me.  This one makes me proud...she is signing all the time!  She consistently will sign "more" "please" and "again".  It is adorable.  Her 12 month Dr. appt was last week.  She had a huge growth spurt and is now 29 3/4"!  She grew 1 3/4" in 1 month!  She hasn't gained much weight, still weighs 18.5lbs.  She also got a big girl car seat.  It looks like a space ship.  She is so tiny in it.  She loves to face forward and look outside or watch movies.


Seth and I are doing great.  Quickly learning our new roles as disciplining/training parents.  Norah tests us (mainly me) daily with our consistency in the few areas of discipline we are working on with her.  Those would be...no whining, no throwing food off your plate onto the floor, listening when we say no touch, and finally, no biting, hitting or pulling hair when being disciplined.  Sheesh, she will definitely give us a good show if she doesn't get her way.  Although, I must say her temper tantrums have decreased in the past week.  Maybe my hard work in being consistent is finally paying off?!!?  =)

I just finished painting our bedroom!  No pictures, because I am not sure if I like it yet.  =)  Tomorrow we are going to attempt to dress up like cows and go to Chick-Fil-A for free food!  Seth will be home with us so it should be a fun family outing!  I'll try to get pictures, of Norah at least!  =)
