8 Months

Nora was 8 months old on 8/10. I would say she has completely caught up from being born small. She is pretty close to average weight and height for her age, which is really good since premature babies can take up to 2 years to catch up.

Her baptism went well. She behaved perfectly in church and gave the congregation a big smile.


She has 2 teeth now. After about 4 months of every one saying "oh, she's teething" every time she fusses a bit, they just popped up without much drama.

The latest development that has us excited is going to sleep. After 8 months or so of being soothed to sleep for every nap and bedtime, she is now going to sleep on her own. She has a good routine of bath, book, bottle, then bed. Then we say "Night, Night," and after a short protest - she is out like a light. Very nice. It is like I have earned an extra hour each evening! What to do with it...treadmill or TV? hmmmm.

Here is another fun video of her laughing. She thinks her new toy fish is HILARIOUS!
