Week 4
Nora Sounds - Besides the wonderful baby cry and baby wailing, Nora has developed a small library of sounds (mostly while she is sleeping) . She whinnies like a horse, trumpets like an elephant, meowing like a cat, and clicks like the aliens from the movie "Signs."
We went to the doctor today for Nora's second doctor's appointment. As we suspected, she's been eating well. She now weighs 9 lbs 2 oz and is 21 inches long. Oh... our little baby is growing. See I wasn't kidding about those chubby legs last week.
Judy and Candi hosted a post-baby-shower on Friday for "old" friends in Alamo. It was a wonderful evening. Not only was the company exquisite, but so was the food. We appreciated the time to catch up with old friends and show off Nora.
On Wed Kara went to Bunco and so it was our first Daddy-Daughter evening. As you can see from this pic she was quite well mannered. It was the first time she took a binky for a sustained amount of time.
Sometimes it takes her a while to get into the rhythm of sucking on the pacifier, but I love it when she finally starts hitting her stride. The pacifier moves swiftly in and out of her mouth to a sound very very reminiscent of Maggie Simpson. And it's so cute how the pacifier is half the size of her face.
Nora found her fist while on Kara's shoulder and was going to town sucking on that for a few moments. She moved onto her forearm before figuring out she wasn't getting any milk. Then the wailing began. It's such a hard life.
Leave it to Kara to take an artsy pic. Being mesmerized by AFV, I was caught completely off guard.
Oh that this scene of tranquility of Nora sleeping with Kara on the phone were more than a fleeting moment.
The doctor said that as she grows she will sleep longer. True words of encouragement.
And if it isn't evident in the pics. Nora is a-lotta Blair. Her hair is even beginning to lighten up. We actually think she looks most like my mother, Corin. Yet we see glimpses of Allison, Brian, and lots o' daddy. I will enjoy it while I can, because I can't imagine those stubborn Johnston genes will be supressed for long.
