This past month has definitely been the one with the most development! Nora can now sit up, has amazing control of her hands, can hold a bottle, reach for mommy and daddy, and is starting to eat pureed foods!
In our trips to CA and TX for Christmas and Lauren and Holden's wedding she seemed to grow more every day! This little girl sleeps like a champ through the night and can even put herself to sleep now. She just started sleeping with her little purple elephant and it helps so much! When you lay her down she'll roll over and hold her elephant. When you pull it's tail it sings a lullaby, and she'll close her eyes and she's usually out without a peep! She's such a great baby!!
She finally loves tummy time and pulling herself around to chase her toys. It's always so exciting to see her moving and figuring out how to get herself up on all fours and rock around! It's not going to be long before she's tearing our apartment apart!
As far as food goes, she now goes crazy over anything she sees on mommy or daddy's plate and is even more excited over anything in our cups! It's adorable! She LOVES bananas and yams (oh and bread from mom's plate), I can't feed them to her fast enough! She literally gags and shudders at avocados (so sad, and I am determined to change this)! And she is almost indifferent to carrots and green beans, but we'll keep working on those ones. And still no sign of teeth! (Thank goodness!)
She has also started a clingy phase, like an "I always have to be touching mom" phase. I can be cooking dinner and all Kevin has to do is literally let her touch my shoulder, and she'll go from crying to back to being as happy as a clam! Silly girl, makes me feel loved, but breaks her poor dad's heart! I keep telling him that when she's old enough to play, he'll be her favorite person.
With this stage, she's also become shy! She'll burry her head in mom or dad as soon as a new person acknowledges her! It's adorable, but we really hope she becomes a social little girl - make park days and school much easier for everyone!
We adore our little princess and are so blessed to have her as such a light in our lives! It's so exciting being parents and watching her grow!
She's such a babe!
Here's to a new year of learning a growth!
Sweetie Pie!!! So proud of her.
