Silly Norah!

Here are a couple of videos from our trip. They are both of Norah doing some silly things. Hope you have a good laugh.

Mike and Ashlyn's house

We got to visit Mike and Ashlyn on our way through the US. It's been so nice to see them on our trips. Who knows when we would've been able to see them otherwise? Avery was such a little mother to Norah. She brought Norah her bottle, her binky, her toys, everything, until Norah was surrounded by things. It was so cute.













Poor little Emma had a fever. She wasn't very happy, but she's still cute!



Having been on this trip, we got to notice how Norah likes to sleep. We found her sleeping like this alot. (Even though she's supposed to be on her back!)

Las Vegas

We stopped in Las Vegas on our trip. It was fun to see the famous city for the first time. I'd like to go back again some time and see some of the amazing shows there.

We walked to the Rain Forest Cafe in the MGM hotel for dinner.

Norah does so well in the wrap.



For those of you who have been to one before, you know how they are so extravagantly decorated. I really liked the ceiling. It was the night sky with shooting stars.

David was amazed at the decorations... Here are a few of the pictures he took.








David took a video of us at the Rainforest Cafe. It's a little grainy because it was so dark.





Here is a picture of the strip from one of the many pedestrian bridges.



We walked around for a while and on our way back, we realized that Norah had fallen asleep in the wrap! I didn't even know until I tried to adjust the arm strap. Poor little girl.

Hooray for the camera cord!

I finally found the camera cord and was able to download all of our pictures! Where do I start? First of all, we made it to San Antonio ok, although it was an adventure. It took alot longer now that we have Norah. Once we got here, the apartment wasn't ready. The carpet hadn't been changed (and it needed it). I'll just say that the people who lived her before had a dog, but were not clean people. It wasn't the apartment management's fault. The carpet company didn't come when they were supposed to.

After staying 3 days in the model home, we finally moved in, only to find out that we had neighbors above us even though we are on the top floor. There were raccoons in the attic and they made lots of noise at night. Now that has been cleaned up, and if you've seen my facebook, you'll understand, and things are alot more quiet, except for the fact that we live near the airport and the planes make their descent above our apartment complex. It's just one of those things that you don't realize when you rent an apartment online. We'll get used to the sound, I'm sure. Sometimes, though, I feel like I could wave to the passengers and they'd see me.

We live in a good neighborhood. Lots of nice houses, apartments, and businesses in the area and we're only 20 minutes away from the temple. We love our ward. They have been very nice to us and welcoming.
First off, I have some pictures of Norah in a new dress:



I think this one's funny because she looks confused.

Norah is starting to get into things:
First, it was her own drawer.

Then, it was the video drawer.
"Hey! What's in here?"

"I just want a peek!"

She's getting to be a big girl when it comes to eating.
"Look! I have a cracker!"


"This stuff is strange."

"I'll just put the whole thing in my mouth."
Sometimes, she holds her bottle.
"Bring me FOOD!"



The next post, I'll put up pictures of our trip. Thanks for looking!
