Two.

Two months and no posts?! Sorry. A lot to catch up on…

Norah turned two on November 16th and to celebrate we had a few friends over for a party!  Friends, yummy food, games, cake, and presents… what more could a little girl want? 

Pin the tail on the donkey.. note to self: this game does not work so well with two-year-olds.

All of her friends her age are boys: We had Luke, Nolan and Harris over for the party…all very eligible bachelors :-)

The presents came out and all the kids wanted in on the action. Somehow Shannon still had the energy to play pretend…

Two of Norah’s favorite people… Lily and Megan.

Norah continues to amaze us as she grows into a little person.  She pretty much has a full vocabulary now and is a constant source of entertainment as she says things all the time that should not be coming out of the mouth of a person her size. She looked at Ezra today (who had had his socks removed by his sister), looked at me, put her hand up and said:

“Okay mom, I will be right back.  I am going to get brother’s shoes.  His feet are cold.”

She loves Ezra (a little too much sometimes) and always has a smile for him.  I think his favorite thing to do is watch her run around as she has never-ending energy.

Her nursery teachers have told us on several occasions that they think she is a genius.  She always has the answers to all the questions and knows all of the words to the songs.  Her teacher said that one time she was playing in the corner and he was asking questions to the class and she called out the answers from the corner, not really paying attention, when no one else knew them!  She has an amazing memory and loves to talk- I think that helps.

She loves Dora the Explorer and Curious George at the moment. She can’t get enough books to read and would watch movies all day if we let her.

Norah is a light in our home. She makes us smile and laugh everyday. She couldn’t be more loved.

Happy Birthday Norah!
