proof

Just in case you were worried that Nora saying ‘mama’ the first time was a fluke.

mama

Nora said mama for the first time about a week ago, and now she’s getting pretty good at saying it on demand. She was starting to get mad by the time I finally pulled the camera out, but what a smarty, right?

You take the lime and the cucumber, and eat them both together.

As I inadvertently discovered when I was trying to distract Nora from grabbing my salad at the Crown, she loves chewing on slices of cucumber. I was about to cut a piece for her, when I noticed the lime sitting right next to the cucumber on the shelf of the fridge. I got thinking about how similar a slice of lime would look to a cucumber slice, and about how awesome Nora’s sour face would be, and I just couldn’t help myself.

It might be sour, but she doesn’t stop trying it! OK, I know, it was mean. Anyway, it looks like there were no hard feelings.

She does seem a little hesitant to tear into the cucumber now, though…

Dancing Bean

Nora and Sarah were just dancing along with a music video until Blake came in and provided an audience.

(Don’t make fun of me because I took this video in portrait mode–that’s why it’s all wonky.)

practical jokes

Here are the outtakes for the LOLNora joke I played on Sarah:

I guess after messing around in Sarah’s bed, we got really tired. Sarah took that opportunity to play her own joke on us, taking our picture while we were asleep. In the immortal words of Justin Timberlake, what goes around comes around.
