Norah at 11 months

Despite the screeches (and occasionally because of them) this is one delightful baby. She is constantly exploring, reminding me of the need to sweep, checking the tensile strength of her sister's hair, and tasting the freshly washed (or loaded) dishes.

She likes it best when Dad feeds her. This is not me handing off responsibility, but she really eats better when he is at the helm of the spoon.

Eyelashes for days!

She climbs a lot and is at a stage filled with tumbles. I have to retrieve her from under the table at least once a day because she cannot find her way out from the tangle of chair legs. She is walking along furniture, but not attempting independent standing yet, thankfully!

She loves Jared and Rosie. They sing loudly and make up silly dances to make her smile when she's upset. And don't let them go off without her, heaven forbid! She will wail until they are reunited. It's just not fair that the older ones get to play unsupervised on the sidewalk and she can't!!!
Norah is affectionate with kisses and snuggles. She is brave and likes to "jump" into the pool. She is fiercely opinionated and will not easily smile at strangers.

She is an awesome daughter!
