Norah :: one month

I can't believe our baby girl has been around for a month already.

But then again, I can hardly imagine our lives without her.

She has been such a blessing in our home and every day with her is the best day of my life.

Although she has been in our family only a short time,
we have already become very well acquainted. 

Nora in a nutshell :: one month
-She has the best hair in the family.
-She has strawberry blonde eyebrows.
-She lost her umbilical cord after a week! (my mom said mine took 6 weeks to fall off)
-She sleeps 4-5 hours at a time during the night and falls right back to sleep after she fills her belly.
-She loves bath time but hates getting lotioned up.
-She does not like to sleep alone. She is like her mother.
-She loves her dad's voice and he was the first person to get her to smile.
-She is a morning person, not a night owl.
-She loves her tongue, it is the cutest thing.
-She has a dimple on her chin.
-She has great fingernails but she uses them to scratch her face if we aren't careful.
-She has a hard time waking up in the morning and groans and stretches for about 20 minutes.
-She loves being held so she can look over your shoulder.
-She has lots of nicknames. 
-Her dad calls her "Norah pants" or "Squirmy McSquirms"
-Her mom calls her "Munchie" or "Gorgeous"
-Her Grandma B calls her "Angel"
-Her aunt Taylor calls her "Baby Doll"
She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I think I have learned more about life in the last month than all the years I went to college.
Norah, thank you for coming into our lives and making us the happiest parents alive.
Here's to many more days, months, and years.
