Awakenings
We have been noticing more of what we are calling awakenings with Nora. Awakenings are quantum leaps in Nora's development that seem to happen instantaneously. For instance, she goes to bed not knowing how to do something, then when she wakes up, she just does it. It's like the neurons were connected during her sleep. Other times, the awakening is simply a higher level of awareness and interaction. Eitherway, it's amazing to witness.
Oh how she's growing, and not just in girth.
She's rolling around now. Sometimes she'll roll across the entire room. Though still not the biggest fan of being on her tummy, sleeping that way has made her more tolerant. I find it amusing that when an object beside her prevents her from rolling to one side, she doesn't understand why she can't roll. "Hmmh? it worked last time."
She even gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth briefly. I do see that the end of immobility is nigh at hand. Of course we yearn for her development, but loathe the idea of chasing her around. Oh well, bring it.
Talking. She's always been a talker (uh fan of hearing herself make sounds). Though her grammer is not stellar, we have noticed on several occasions that she has said, "ma-ma, ma-ma-ma..." as a call for attention to change her situation or just be held.
Lil Judy time.
Before we went out to toss the disc, Nora had to make sure it was 100% real frisbee.
I still love these chew shots.
Thanksgiving at the bowling alley. It's a G-fam tradition.
Mommy going to town.
Ellie with Nora.
I'm sorry I can't say which twin this is, but too cute.
This shot was meant to show the carnage on the floor after a Nora self-feeding. The pic does not do it justice, but I'm sure those that have been there, can fill in the gaps.
Hi!
We found out she likes oranges.
It was entertaining for us too.

I just want to kiss her little nose!
Thanks for calling me on Monday - I'm sorry I missed the call!
Okay, I don't know if you check these comments, but SHE IS SO CUTE! You guys did a good job with that one. Plus, she and Madeline have the same pink pj's with the moon on the top from costco. I'm going to take a picture of Madeline in them and then we can have a little cousin picture matching thing. She also is dressed in the cutest little clothes. I hope you have a Merry Christmas! I miss you guys. HURRY UP AND MOVE TO NORTH CAROLINA! WHAT's THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?! (meaning Eric, of course, I'd never say that about you kara!)
Love susie
