She Laughs!

She has been giggling for a while, but these are the first real laughs.

A little young, but she seemed to enjoy the lights and music.



We went with some of our friends.

4 Months today!

Today Nora had her 4 month pediatrician appointment where she got 2 more shots. Ouch!

She weighs 11 lbs 10 oz.

I took her to JCPenney last week for some photos. Here are some good ones:

Countdown to the end of Maternity Leave

My maternity leave will be over in 2 weeks. I am now trying to get serious about some of the household projects I wanted to complete before I return to work. (I work best under a little pressure.) I have some spring cleaning and yard work I would like to do. I would like things to be as in order as I can before I return. I expect that one of the keys to balancing work and the new addition to our family will be being as organized and efficient with my time as possible. Of course, that is easier said than done. I have spent many of Nora's naps dinking around on facebook when I should be washing the windows!

Here is a picture of Nora in her Exersaucer that we just pulled out this week. She seems to enjoy it. Can you believe how old she looks already?
