This is the first joke Nora made up all by herself, and she thinks it’s hilarious.
Mom: “Who loves you?”
Nora: “Wall-E.”
It kills with the one-year-olds.

And did you see those TIGHTS?
Sometimes Nora sits down right by my desk chair and plays while I’m working. Here she is, a compact little pile of adorableness, precious blanket (inexplicably dubbed ‘peti’) momentarily forgotten on the floor behind her.

Sometimes, if Nora and I are out running errands during the day, we stop and have a little lunch together–just us grown-up girls, you know?
Anyway, here she is enjoying her favorite dish.

Brian and Jennilyn gave Nora this insanely cute mini University of Utah cheerleader uniform, and I thought bowl game season was the right time to try it out. And….that pretty much sums up everything I know about sports.
I hope you noticed the red and black ponytail holders.
Telegenic
Some days, I just take a lot of photos. And videos.
1. Nora uses one of the few signs she knows to request that more photos be taken of her. Do not blame me, people.
2. More of Nora referring to her hair elastics as hats.
3. If your daughter said “Ca-Co” in such a cute way, you’d take a video of it and post it to the internet, too.

Lisa: Are you teaching Nora how to juggle?
Blake: Yep! Well, I’m trying to. She’s totally going to impress all her kindergarten friends.
Lisa: Yeah she is. And her teacher.
Blake: She’ll impress EVERYONE. Except Dave. Dave’ll just be like, “I’ve been juggling since I was three.”

My mom, proudly displaying her hairdo handiwork:
In the background, you can see my new Jamaica Trinnaman painting hanging over the fireplace. I know, I need to branch out and find another artist I like whose work I can afford. But it’s awesome, right??
Now make Mommy a sandwich.
Nora loves to ‘cook,’ which usually means stirring the air inside some kind of receptacle with various vaguely oblong implements. CUTEST BEAN EVER.
