Norah Jane

I love that my kids are so different. This little bug of mine is a very happy, friendly, obedient, content little girl and I'm not sure if she will ever be a terrible 2!! She can definitely hold her own though, no one messes with Norah. She can be very kind but does not put up without any bull.

This picture of her is when she ran in the fun run for the primary kids at the Memorial Day ward breakfast. She loved all of the action and wants so bad to be a part of the big kid group.


She LOVES her daddy! It is my favorite part of the day when dad comes home from work and the kids run to the door looking for daddy. They are so excited to see him!

She loves to feed the ducks with dad.. She really loves all animals but some of her favorite animals are ducks, cows, birds, squirrels, bunnies, goggies (doggies) especially the one next door, she always has to stick her tongue out and pant like a dog when she sees one, she also loves kitties, especially the one across the street.

Ah, Nolan.. Norah's first love. We met the Hymas family at Rita's for ice cream one night. She and Nolan have become friends from nursery and from playing together at eachothers houses.


Fire house time with Lincoln! They loved this fire truck with all of the horns and lights.


Cute outfit!! It was a little big for her but she didn't care!


Park of Roses last Sunday evening. Very pretty!

Driving... wants to be like mom :)


Loves to wear our glasses. She stole Dave's glasses during church.. I couldn't help but snap a picture. Pretty cute!


Outside.. always outside! Looks like it is time to hand over Lucy's bike to Norah!


She put this crown on by herself and was so proud. Thought she looked so cute!


We made fruit loop necklaces in nursery, she loves cereal! She isn't a picky eater like Lucy is. She will actually eat meat and will sit down and eat when she is hungry. Some other things she loves are chicken nuggets and fries, hot dogs, quesadillas, any fruit, chocolate (caukre) milk, plain milk, goose (juice), chips, crackers, cheese, and fruit snacks. She asks for 'treats' or 'snacks' all day long.. probably because that is what Lucy does. One of her favorite games to play is snack bar.. where she asks you what you would like and then says okay and then pretends to get it for you.. she also loves hide and seek and can count to 12 all by herself! Smart little girl! She loves the bubble machine, trampoline, swing set, and baby pool that we sometimes fill with water out back.


We were outside playing and Norah disappeared inside and came out with an armful of stuffed animals.. she kept getting frustrated that she kept dropping them.


This is the day Norah got her ear tubes in.. playing with the toys in the waiting room before surgery.


I LOVE this picture! They gave her a coloring book to color while waiting and as long as she had her lankey (blankey) she was happy.


She thought her little gown was so cute with all of the animals and wanted me to keep looking (look) at it.


They gave her a little sleeping medicine to reduce anxiety when they took her back to surgery and instead of making her loopy it just made her sleepy and she just wanted to lay on the bed, hold her animals, and suck on her empty sippy cup. She did a great job. We were at the surgery center for about 2 hours so it was really quick. Dr Forrest said her ears were a mess, the worst set of ears he had seen in a (pause) really long time. Poor thing! He said she would immediately start feeling better and he was right.

Some other things about Norah..
She is a very cuddly little girl. Always giving hugs and kisses to to us and other little kids she sees.
She loves babies and any other kids, gets so excited when kids come over to play.
Ever since she turned 2 (in april) she refuses to sleep in her crib, she wants to sleep on my bed or her bed (Lucy's bed) I guess I can't complain.
She loves to put on her tutu and watch/dance to princess movies (12 Dancing Princesses), also loves Nick jr and Disney. Mainly asks for Dora or Bubble Guppies.
She loves the kids club at the gym and loves when Mary (the worker) draws happy faces and hands with her.
She loves to color especially with Lucy!
She loves to sing and eventhough you can't really understand the words she can actually carry a tune so I know which words to help her sing. Loves to sing Happy Birthday to herself and then blow out the candle after, Old Macdonald, Popcorn popping, I'm so glad when daddy comes home, ABC's, wheels on the bus, Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, Twinkle, twinkle, little star, and Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
She loves to play games on my phone especially the one with the shapes, she is amazing at it.
She loves when I lay by her at night and sing to her while I tickle her back, arms, legs, etc.
Some of her favorite words are not yet, watch, no play, no church, no bed, or no whatever word she chooses after, help, car, shoes, drink, hungry, play, jump, Lucy (two-cy) mom, dad, Jenny, Bee, and Dug, jump, potty, diaper, phone, and movie are some of her regulars.
She gets her own diaper when she needs to be changed, hopefully that means she will be easy to potty-train.
Norah is a great secret teller.. mainly jibber jabber in one ear then turns your head to tell you another one in the other ear, we play this back and forth for a long time and she loves it. I can't help but laugh with the stuff she tries to say.
She is very good about telling me what she wants.. she will take my hand and take me where she wants to go or tell me which cupboard she wants opened etc. Lucy got locked out of the house yesterday and she came and got me, kept saying Lucy, and took me to the door where Lucy was crying outside. Pretty impressive for a newly 2 year old.
She loves baby dolls and will play with little toys forever, which is great!
She is my early bird (UGH!) but always takes a good nap, I'm crossing my fingers that lasts through next year while Lucy is at school.
I love my funny little Norah! She is such a sweetheart! I love you!
