First Month

So it's been a month since our baby girl joined our family! One month went by incredibly waaaay too fast! I wish time could just stop for a little bit while I cuddle my sweet Norah. Everyone keeps telling me how fast they grow and I'm afraid to blink!!! But over the the past month Norah's had some firsts and here they are...

First visitors
My mom and dad were here the first week of Norah's life and I'm so grateful they were able to have that time with her. I have a feeling there will be many visits by grandma and grandpa!


First bath
Ok so she HATED her baths at first when the cord stump was still on. She looks cozy in this pic but a split second later she was wailing! But now that the stump has fallen off she looooves her baths! I think most babies do...


First Walk
It was a nice afternoon so we thought we'd put Norah in the stroller and take Sadie on a walk. We didn't get far before she was not happy. So we ended up taking her out of the stroller and holding her during our walk lol

First Sunday
Norah was about 2 1/2 weeks old when we took her to church for the first time. We thought she'd just hang out in her car seat the whole time, but of course not. I had to stand and hold her most of the time! What a princess.

First monthly photo shoot
I got these monthly stickers from Etsy to document how Norah grows and changes month to month. And we got to break out month numero uno! Look how cute she is! 

I hate to brag and be one of those moms that think they're kids are the cutest. But lets be honest, I do have the cutest baby girl!!!

Norah's Room

It's FINALLY done!!! Norah's Room has been an on-going project for MONTHS now! It started when we moved into our house and the baby's room was bluuuuue. That had to change ASAP. I'm not a bubblegum pink kinda gal so we went with a pretty sage green. And the ideas came flowing from there! We went with an old-antique-like look and I loved how it all came together.

Here are many, many shots of my work of art! 
(I couldn't have done it without the help of Dan, Mom and Dad....THANK YOU!!!!!)

AFTER:
TA-DAAAAA!





Norah's room is my oasis and by far the most beautiful room in the house! I love, love, love it!

Happy Bday Old Man!!!

       I'm married to a 30 year old!!! This last weekend was Dan's 30th Birthday so a few months ago I started planning a party for him, a Mustache themed party! I didn't really think it through that his birthday was only a week after my due date. But the party pressed forward! I made all the decorations pre-Norah and my mom and dad were in town to help with grocery shopping and making food, so it took a village but we pulled off the party for the birthday boy!  

Here's a peak...









We had our friends over for food and fun mustaches, even Norah got her own mustache! I think Dan's favorite part was he was "allowed" to grow a FAT mustache for his party! My present to Dan was a sweet baby girl :)

Happy Birthday Daniel!
