I got Nora a little toy laptop, in the hopes that she would prefer it to working her magic on my computer. She uses it for her very important business.
I love getting packages in the mail.

Sometimes the only thing that will calm Nora down or hold her attention is a little Gwen Stefani. Who am I to begrudge her that?
Actually, I’m glad it’s not Barney. Or even Baby Einstein. Or…Insane Clown Posse.

uh oh!
In a rare instance of performing on demand, Nora does a half-hearted version of her sniffing face, and then says “uh oh.” I smell an Emmy nomination…

I was going to post just one of these, but I couldn’t fight the cuteness.
I think we might need to clear everything out of our living room and turn it into a roller rink.
in the presence of our queen
Dear Future Nora,
Yesterday, Heather B. Armstrong pinched your chubby leg and squealed. Because you are just that cute.
Unfortunately, at the time you had the stinkiest, poopiest diaper in the history of ever. But…maybe she didn’t notice.
Sincerely,
Mommy
P.S. Don’t say I never introduced you to any famous people.

Have you ever seen someone so excited to be in a rocking chair?
snake charmer
My mom bought Nora this extremely realistic pink rubber snake at the zoo. Who knew it would become her favorite toy?
boop!
Nora makes so many different expressions now–I can’t get over what a big personality she has stuffed into that tiny little body. She was kind of sad when I started taking these pictures, so I cheered her up by making a bunch of crazy noises (as one does). In the photos where she’s leaning to the side, she’s trying to look around the camera to see how I’m making that “boop, boop” sound.
