. . . The Dunnams . .: 6 months

Time is flying by and Miss Nora is getting bigger and bigger! We absolutely LOVE her to pieces! She is the better than any ipod or game system!! She is so good at smiling to melt our hearts day or night. (Well, by night I mean when it's bedtime---thankgoodness not during the middle of the night!)

Here's some quick facts and pictures of her so you can see how much she's grown...

Nora is now 17 lbs 3 oz (75-90%ile) and 27 in (90%ile). If this continues, Aaron may get his wish---a daughter taller than her mother! Meanie.

Nora can now sit up on her own for extended amounts of time, makes constant gibberish noises and sounds, blows raspberries, moves all around without crawling (not quite sure she's gets there though), and plays by herself with her toys! She loves to shake her rattles, look at her books, hit herself and her toys over and over again, banging her hand or foot on the ground to hear it thump on the floor or her bracelet jingle, eating her toys, pulling my finger into her mouth and biting it, rocking on all four, playing peekaboo, copying our faces, and of course watching tv. She can hold her own bottle, but that's not something she enjoys...she'd rather grab onto my hand and hold it instead. I think she knows holding her bottle makes her arms tired! She also likes drinking out of her sippy cup. She caught on on the first try! (She sucks really hard and still prefers the same nipples she's used all along so I think that's why it was easy for her.) I'll admit I'm not too excited for her to learn to crawl and have to go behind her getting into stuff, but it's so fun watching her grow!!

Some of the most exciting news: Nora also has her two bottom teeth! Yay! (And boy are they sharp!) I'll get a picture of it soon. It's hard because her tongue is always playing with them and in the way!
