All about Norah

Tonight will be a late night. Norah's evening nap went a little late today, and now at 11pm she is still revved up and going, going, gone, lol.


I thought that since it is just her and I this evening, that I would blog about her. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my baby girl?


She is something else. I have never met a child like her, and she is so different from Patrick in every way.
Norah, always wakes up Happy!  I love co-sleeping with her, it brings me great joy. Jerry is gone in the mornings most of the time when I get up, but I always have a sweet, smiling face greeting me each morning. There truly is no better way to start off the day.


Norah loves to make funny sounds, and thinks she has some kind of gift, she takes great pride and joy in the discovery of a new sound she can make with her mouth.


I love how excited she gets about everyday things. She will laugh and giggle over nothing.


She loves to clap, and dance, and she loves music. We have one of those leap frog refrigerator magnet things, lol, and if you put a letter or number in it tells you what it is, and if you press the red button, it sings the ABC's. Norah loves to press that little red button, and she moves her mouth and sings like she is singing the abc's right along with it. It is so cute watching her prepare herself, and she just can't wait to start clapping along.


Norah has learned to stand alone, and claps for herself.


Tonight Jerry got out of the shower, I has holding Norah on one hip, and I came up behind Jerry to rub his neck, and head, and to love on him. She watched, and then she turned towards me, and took both hands and started stroking my head, gently, from the top, all the way down. She is not even 1 years old, but she fully understood that I was loving on Jerry, and then turned to show me the same form of affection. She is so small, but constantly taking in everything, learning, thinking, growing. It astonishes me every single day.


I put my bedroom wall mirror in the living room floor today, and as I sat at my laptop in the kitchen, checking my facebook page for the third or fourth time during the day, I caught Norah making faces at herself and fake crying, watching her reflection. It was something really neat to watch. I already thought she was a pro with the fake crying and her faces, but apparently they needed some fine tuning.


Norah is full of life. She loves to snuggle, and she loves to roll around in the covers. She is strong, and sensitive. She is perfect, and I love her so much. I adore her personality, and her mannerisms. I like her a lot, and I think she likes me to :) She will forever be my baby girl, and I will never, ever stop being her mommy.
