Spring...Finally...in MAY

FINALLY, some good weather has come to West Michigan! I thought the sun would never shine again! But  Spring has arrived at last... it's only May...For the last week or so in between naps and unpacking in our new home we spend our time outside on walks, at the park, playing in the backyard. You name it, we're outside! 

Here are just a few snaps of Norah exploring our new deck!
(which will one day be filled with a patio set, grill...perhaps hot tub???)





We absolutely LOVE our new home and I will get some pics up once everything has found a proper place :)

11 Months

So each month's photo shoot gets a bit harder and harder. Especially since this little lady is constantly on the move! Trying to tell her to sit in a chair while I snap pictures...yeah right! At first I was super frustrated but then I just started snapping away at the fit of tears anyway! It's the milestones and memories like this that are priceless! 

Things started off innocent enough. This was literally the only pic I got of her smiling at the camera 
(PS, I could not get the hair brush out of her kung fu death grip).

Oops, getting distracted by that stupid hair brush!

Okay, she's done. Bye bye Mom.

Me: "No, Norah. I need a few more pics of you sitting and smiling...
Norah: "AAAAAAHAAHHAAHHAA!!!"

If you've noticed she is no longer holding the hairbrush. It's because she just chucked it across the room. 
I have no idea where she gets that attitude, sigh....

Pitiful.

Luckily for me, she isn't always like this! 90% of the time she is my little angel baby. She loves to socialize and be around other people and babies. She gets a bit bored being stuck in the house all day with boring old Mom. So we try and get out as often as possible and see friends and have play dates. If summer ever comes to Michigan then we can start going to the parks! I can't wait to get this little gal on a swing! 

One more month folks till this little lady is one year old! 
I am totally in denial.

Rub-a-dub-dub


Bath time in this house typically consists of this naked little girl splashing away as Sadie tries to lick the water off her. Take a look....







This is all of course followed by uncontrollable giggling and more splashing. 
Could my job be any more fun?
