Norah started crawling today

Jackson watch out! ;-)

Today driven by Brother's colorful toy, Norah crawled to grab it. Life started to get more interesting. :-D

Birthday party at Perot

One happy birthday boy

Party host had a variety of activities planned

A blue volcano eruption!

Most anticipated moment

Happy family of 4

Where do your socks go?

On my ears!

Playful Norah

Norah got a new hair style at daycare today. We love it!

She is getting playful day by day. Today she locked the spoon each time I fed her and giggled. So much fun to be around her. 

Caught: Norah says Mama and Hi!

I caught Norah calling Mama and saying Hi yesterday. Video is playable on website. 

Norah says "Dada" too

Today at the store, Norah twice said "Dada" to get my attention. 😀

Norah says her first words!

Last night when Will picked up Norah, teachers told him Norah started to say bye. We thought they meant waving goodbye since she started to do that a few days ago.

Today when I dropped her off, they told me again. She waved and said goodbye to Ms Keffa yesterday. And when they asked her to do it again, Norah lift high her arm and waved and said goodbye to me!

I wished I captured that precious moment. Our not yet 10 months old baby girl is talking to us now! I'm happy beyond words. 

July 4th

July 4th was fun! Highlights are Grandparents Kiddie Pool, zoo roaming and a neighborhood parade that throws candy at you! Jackson went completely bananas over that! 

Jackson On Stage

At lunch time after our blueberry picking excursion, Jackson found an empty stage and gave a little performance for Uncle Dave, Cousin Jeffery and his dad.  Enjoy!

Ride'em Cowboy

A few weeks ago, Jackson was having fun riding Rex and the lighting was interesting.  I had some fun with the post-processing...

Sometimes, even the sky celebrates your children's bedtime...

Norah can stand!

On her own, well, sort of.  A few times she has stood unsupported for about 10 seconds.  Does that count?  Unfortunately, none of those times have happened when the camera was ready ;-).  Here's the closest we got.

Standing!

And a bit of walking too!

Thing 1 or Thing 2?
