Norah is growing!

Norah's first year is speeding by us. I sometimes forget that she is past the stage where I can set her down and expect here to still be there after more than a moment or two.
She is funny, especially having inherited her grandpa's signature laugh. She finds her own food and fun on the floor at home. And unfortunately, she has reached that age of exploration, so she is learning what it is like to tumble repeatedly and recover.
When she is out and about, she is quite serious. Norah doesn't smile easily for strangers. But she is endlessly entertained by Jared and Rosie.

Ken loves to stick Norah in laundry baskets to keep her busy, so he can get some chores done.

However, it usually doesn't interfere with a five-load day.

Look at those teeth! Watch out!

"I get to stay up later than the other kids!"

She's so adorable, I want to eat her up!

 Sometimes Jared sets up a "habitat" for Norah. And it delights her! Crawling all over Rosie's bed with dozens of books?!?
A dream!

 This is her funny little crawl.
