Norah- 4 months

Little Norah, you are 4 months old already!  You have added a whole 5 inches to your length since birth, and have more than doubled your birth weight!  It's not surprising considering your love of nursing (especially at night!).  You are still a super quick eater, which makes things much easier having a big sister that needs a lot of attention too.

You are a mobile one, now rolling front to back, and when on your stomach you can push yourself backwards if you're on the bare floor!  Your favorite position is to be upright, usually with someone holding you.  Shrieking in the highest pitch I've ever heard (when excited or mad) is something you love to do, and sometimes it's so loud it makes the dog next door bark (I'm not joking).  You love, love, love your big sister, and often are pulling on her hair or face.  You are now big enough to go in the jumperoo and although your feet don't quite touch the floor, you love being upright to play with your toys or look around.

On your list of things you don't like, car riding is still #1!  We went to Ohio for Zoe's 3rd birthday, and drove overnight both ways so as to limit the screaming.  Thankfully, it worked and you slept like a champ, with only 2 stops to nurse.  You are starting to do a little better with a bottle, and have started sleeping in your crib!  Yay!  It was a rough few months with that, but now you wake up, eat, and you go right back to sleep in your crib.

You have a sweet disposition and we're excited to watch as your little personality starts blooming!  We love you, Nor-Nor!!

Oh, Zoe

The other night I was snuggling with Zoe on the couch.  "Momma, is there another baby in your belly?  Maybe it's a boy... or maybe Norah went back in there".  Time for some sit-ups, I suppose :)

Norah- 3 months

This girl is 3 months old already!  She is so smiley, and lights up when she sees her big sister, Momma, or Daddy.  She has a super strong neck/head and love to be upright.  She's rolling over from front to back and doesn't like to be in one position for long!
This month Norah went to her first circus (although she slept the whole time!), and we went to the zoo again.  She is a pretty happy baby, as long as Momma doesn't have any dairy or soy.  Poor girl has her big sister's sensitive stomach.  Her disposition is different from Zoe, although I can't pinpoint exactly how.  She does seem to be either super happy, or super mad... there isn't really a middle ground yet.  Car rides are still terrible because she screams the entire time... even if it's just a short ride somewhere!

What an adorable, perfect fit for our family you are, sweet little Norah.  These past 3 months have been a challenge but a huge blessing to us!
