Happy birthday to our THREE YEAR OLD!!! Three is dirty knees, scrapes and bruises, wonder and imagination, lots of make believe, picture books, BIG emotions, plenty of poop jokes, silly conversations, sweet conversations, deep conversations, questions I can't answer, dance parties, sweaty arms wrapped around my neck, and more exclamations of "Mommy, watch this!!!" than [...]
Another month with this little beauty and life is so sweet! Nora is so different from her brother at this age in so many ways...she's much gentler, much more snuggly, much more cautious about things. While Jameson loved to be tossed in the air as high as we would let him go, Nora prefers to [...]
I'm writing this a little late but I wanted to wait until Nora had her nine month well visit at the doctors to see where she lands in the percentiles. I feel like this month was a big one in terms of her milestones, and we're getting to see more and more of her sweet [...]
I can't believe I'm writing this already! Nora is far too close to her first birthday than I would like her to be. In my head she was just born the other day...but then I look at her compared to my friends' brand new babies and oh my, she's just so big already! I realize [...]
“Jessica!” I hear his voice echo through the empty church. “Come on, it’s time to go!” I peek my head over the smooth edge of the wooden pew and see my dad heading towards me. Running my hand along the back of the pew as I move easily through the tiny aisle, I skip over [...]
Seven months old! It makes me want to cry if I think about it too much, so I really can't let myself. I'll be planning her first birthday party before I know it. This month has been so good. Some things have been hard of course, but Nora is such a sweet presence in our [...]
My sweet Nora Joy, Hi baby! You're six months old now and so much fun! The last time I wrote to you, you were still in my belly. Now you're becoming your own little person and I can't imagine life without you in it. You fit into our family as if you were always part of [...]
Another wonderful month with this little beauty! I'm a bit late on getting this posted because things have been extra busy around here. But both kids happen to be napping right now (blesssssss!) so I'm able to write for 0.38 seconds before one or both of them wakes up. Nora is sugar and spice (but [...]
Praise God for a much more peaceful month! Nora hasn't had any more episodes and we haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. We're still waiting on the referral to go through for her full neurological evaluation (I've been getting kind of annoying with all my calls to the doctor) but I'm cautiously hopefully that everything [...]
Phew! This has been a tough month for us. Honestly probably one of the toughest months that Alex and I have had as parents so far. There were lots of moments of joy and excitement (Nora belly laughing, Nora rolling, life with our silly and sweet toddler) but there were also lots of moments of [...]
