Dear Nora,
You have become so smiley these last few weeks. Your smile can truly light up a room in my opinion! When I got your picture with Santa, the photographer/elf said she hadn't seen any babies your age smile like you did. Your best smile comes when you look at me. Daddy likes to get you to look at me when I walk in the room to watch your reaction. I love to see you smile and am so thankful you are a happy baby. :)
Love,
Mommy

Happy 6 Month Birthday!
Dear Nora,
Today, you are 6 months old! What a milestone. This morning we went to toddler time at the library and to McDonald's afterwards. I had you dressed up in a cute Christmasy outfit and everyone thought you looked adorable.
At 6 months,
you weigh 15 pounds 13 ounces.
you have found your feet and love to reach for them.
you are very talkative and have an extensive repertoire of sounds.
I've noticed you starting to get bored. You like to move from place to place, so when we are home, you'll rotate from exersaucer to jumperoo to bumbo to activity mat to swing, etc. This isn't usually a problem when Luke is up because you either take such interest in watching him or we are out and about. But I notice it the most when you are awake during his nap and just have me to entertain you. I'm not nearly as exciting. ;)
you can now sit up! You first sat up on Thanksgiving Day for about 10 minutes, with only occasional rebalancing from me. Just this afternoon I left the room to get the camera to take a picture of you and heard a thud. I came back in to see you had lost your balance and hit the wall. Oops, I guess you're still learning.
you've had sweet potatoes, peas, applesauce, and oatmeal. Sweet potatoes are your favorite, with peas coming in dead last.
you still love that pacifier. I love that it works so well, but struggle with how often to let you have it. I don't want you to become too dependent on it, especially for sleeping.
you have recently moved to 4 feedings a day with 3 naps. The first one is often short because I wake you up to go somewhere and the last one is usually the shortest.
you have kissable chipmunk cheeks that I love.
you don't mind at all going between breastmilk and formula, even during the same feeding. I'm so glad that's not a problem.
This time last year we didn't know yet that we'd have a Nora. We found out you are a girl on December 16, so that means a year ago I was going crazy wanting to know! I'm so thankful you're you and that you are in our family. I love you so, so much.
Love,
Mommy
