Movie

We spontaneously decided to go see Malificent, after many warnings I how scary it might be, and everyone had a great time.

Nobody even hardly cried, although Lucy quietly fought the dragon under her breath and Nora chattered loudly

Nora feeds herself

I was giving Nora some raspberry and she wanted to put it in her own mouth

I added a bib and she opposed it

But was distracted by more fruit

Hard to eat

How does a baby get her fingers to her mouth and release the food??

Success!!

Well, mostly

Alley races

Jamie and Charlie want to ride bikes out back.

They started a race and Jamie got out in front before Charlie was done posing

Lucy tried to pedal but steering is hard 

Owen thinks so too

Nora wants on on whatever they're doing 

Done pedaling!

She tries to join the race but is too slow

Lucy in a Robe

Lucy took off her jammies and Nora was still sleeping so she wore Charlie's. She usually wears Jamie's (which fits her), but Jamie said the Elmos were going to bite her so she couldn't wear it. She was very pleased with the hood.

 She wants to know where Lucy is in these pictures, because she posed in front of the window and is all washed out.

Wedding

We went to a wedding and Lucy and Nora came to the rehearsal. I didn't get any pics of the boys at the wedding, sadly.

There were kitties at the venue Lucy wanted to hunt for 

We couldn't do it right away at the wedding because Nora was having a nap while we waited 

Lucy loves selfies. She can watch herself - how fun is that?

Nora got ready by getting beauty sleep

See? Selfies are fun

Everybody

So much cuteness

Nora loves Owen. And he likes her too

If he tries to move away, she pulls him back

They both like this, but I do not. Not even for baby giggles can he lick her mouth 

Nora Plays

Nora likes to talk to her kitty

Headgear

The boys tried out some of Nora's accouterments on her

Lucy and the Dragon

We watched How to Train Your Dragon. Again. Lucy took her dragon-killing skills very seriously, until the dragon went off screen ("he shut the door, Mom") and she had to postpone until another scene.

Nora's new skill

Nora has a delightful new talent 

Toes

Nora is our only baby who has loved to play with her toes. Perhaps it's that she never lies on her tummy.

 She likes them best nakey - she likes herself best nakey!

Snuggle puppy

Do you remember Lucy's strong feelings about Snuggle Puppy? They are shared by her sister

It's fascinating

Sitting Shenanigans

These first two are from a week ago. Nora is pretty unsteady, even supported. I like this first one - Jamie's jazz hands? Owen's terror? Nora's hat!

 Then these are today. She's sitting unassisted for a long time, no problem. Owen is her friend because she's drooling (due to her TWO NEW TEETH!!)

 Jamie is also her friend, as always, and loves to hold her hand.

Sitting

Nora can sit unassisted while playing with beads

These necklaces have been a beloved staple of babies since Jamie, because they're made with love by older siblings

I can make it mooooove!

Nora selfie

Nora likes to look at herself in the cell phone camera. (Is that the same as recognizing herself in the mirror?)

Drinking

She can't quite get the hang of it but she wants it

Ooop! She got some and it was a surprise
