What's Happening

6:51 AM

The Lytle house is loud and busy these days. Norah is growing up so fast Seth and I cannot believe it! We just look at her sometimes and wonder how she got so big - it seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. Now in a few short months we will be bringing home another little Lytle. Yikes!

Norah is one of those kids who could go on the show "Kids Say The Darnest Things" and be a star. She is constantly making us laugh with the things she comes up with. A few of my favorites lately:

  • She wanted to do something she wasn't supposed to be doing and I walked in the room. She looked at me holding her hand out and said, "Mommy go talk to Daddy, just go". 
  • If you are talking to someone and she wants your attention (which is all the time) she will grab your face with both hands and turn your head towards her and say, "Mommy look at me, look in my eyes". Or she will say, "No more talky Daddy, all done".
  • She lately has been calling me Tracy or Trace if I don't respond to Mommy the first time. Or she will start hitting her leg or clapping her hands saying, "Come here, Trace come here". It sounds just like the way I call Bauer.
  • She is getting close to potty training. Any time she poops or pees she will come to me with a diaper and wipes and say, "Mommy change the diaper please". So that is nice. The only bad thing is we go through so many more diapers b/c she hates staying in it if it is wet.
  • Yesterday she officially named her baby doll "Baby Brynn" after George and Noelle's little girl. She has been feeding, changing diapers and rocking her all day yesterday and has been doing it again today. It is so cute =)

She is full of words and you never know what will come out of her mouth. She listens intently to your conversations and will pick up on things. We have to be very careful what we say now. You never know when she is listening and when she will repeat what you said. =)

Seth and I are doing good. He is still very busy with work and working late most nights. I guess I can't complain b/c he does have a job!

I am just over here eating and growing. I definitely look pregnant now. I am feeling this little baby move like crazy.  I am almost half way through my pregnancy!  This baby will be here before we know it and I am so ready to meet him/her!!

Oh the names we are considering for the baby:  Bradley or Savannah.

    My favorite Norah-ism lately was while we were visiting my Mom at the nursing/rehab center she stopped and exclaimed, "OH MY GOSH!, OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH..." and said it 10 times in a row. We were all laughing so hard because she was saying it so clearly - and those hands!!! Her hands talk even more than her cute little mouth.
