Norah at 2 1/2 months

Norah finally got some alone time with Mommy!

Fun at the MOA

Cold winter days are perfect days for mall walking. On this day it was "Toddler Tuesday" at the Mall of America so there was lots of fun stuff going on...not every day you get to meet a moose!

The trip got a little long for some of us...

Happy New Year!

Adelyn Wietecki and her parents joined us for New Years Eve. As you can tell, Mom is into matching outfits for all the November girls!
On New Years Day Daddy let me paint the bedroom with him. It only lasted a few minutes because I stepped in paint and started making tracks around the room!
The next day, Daddy took me skating for the first time! I wasn't able to stand on the skates very long, so Daddy pushed me around on a chair - that was way more fun than trying to stand on wobbly feet anyways!

Merry Christmas!

I was really excited about Christmas gifts this year. I loved opening presents up so much that I kept opening up gifts that weren't even mine (sorry everyone!). As I was opening every gift I would say repeatedly: "What is it? What is it?" It was so much fun. My parents also taught me about the true meaning of Christmas this year and I like telling people about Jesus' parents Mary and "Jofis."On Christmas Day we drove down to Iowa to see Grandma Ellen & Papa for a few days. We also got to meet my new cousin Liberty for the first time. She is a cutie!
Do you think they look alike? Norah is on the Left and Libby is on the right.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Aunt Sara's house in Eden Prairie. It was so much fun to have the whole family together! Mom put Norah in a silly Christmas dress - she looked like Mrs. Claus!

I got a hockey helmet and skates for Christmas from Mom & Dad. Dad promised to teach me to skate this winter - I can't wait!

Norah Smiles

Norah just started smiling when she was about 4 1/2 weeks old. She's pretty cute, so I've decided that I need to act like a baby sometimes so Mom & Dad don't forget about me. Sometimes if no one is paying attention to me, I fake cry and start saying "I'm cwying, I'm cwying" in a super whiny voice. Mom tells me to act like a big boy, but she secretly thinks I'm cute when I do this. :-)

Christmas Fun!

It was so much fun getting ready for Christmas this year. Grandma Ellen stayed with us for a few days and we got to make Christmas cookies and meet Santa at a Pancake Breakfast!
When Santa asked what I wanted for Christmas I yelled "Rusty & Murdoch" (which are two Thomas trains)
On Christmas Eve Morning mom & I made a gingerbread house. I loved sticking the little candies all over the house. I'm becoming pretty creative, just like my Daddy.
