I can't believe I have a 7 month old baby. Also, I can't believe how crazy busy she is. Wait, I guess I can believe that. She is just trying to keep up with her brothers.
And she is...
She is my earliest crawler and cruiser. She is also loving to eat "table food." We give her puffs right now but she is anxious for the real stuff, I can tell.
She loves to pull up to standing. It's her favorite thing. And it has caused some disruption in sleeping. She is too busy practicing all her mobility. Sitting, crawling, standing...too much fun for sleep.
I love that in the picture above and below you can see tufts of hair. She still mostly looks bald but I swear there is hair there. Her hair is coming in really blond. Her eyelashes are really long but you can't really see them because they are blond. Same with her eyebrows...she has them...just really blond.
Can you also spot the bruise above her eye? Yeah, pulling up comes with falling down. This time into the knob on the boys dresser during bedtime craziness. Oops,
Nora has been a little cranky of late (maybe I said that last month too). We are still waiting on teeth to surface. The bottom two are so close. And I think the top two will be right behind them. Poor girl. She must feel miserable. At least I think she must with all the sleep troubles and clingy-ness that has been our life lately.
But she also extremely pleased with herself when she stands. And she is still pretty happy and gives out giggles readily. So I can't complain.
She is squishy and cuddly and I love kissing her chub.
And for some reason, this last picture is my favorite of the bunch. She loves being cuddled, even by the toy box.
She is growing up so fast and already seems to be losing the "little baby" look. Every day she is looking more toddler like. I guess it's the walking that makes it seem so. But I also think her face has begun thinning out. Oh...sweet Nora! Of all my babies I feel the "Don't grow up! Grow Up!" more than the others. I can't wait to see what she is like as a kid and I can't help but miss rocking my newborn all at the same time. I guess I'll just have to try and enjoy the 7 month middle of the night cuddles and rocking while I get them.

I know the feeling of "Don't grow up, but do!" Graham has just stayed a baby a little longer because of being born early, and now at 14 months when he's cruising more and eating more solids, I feel happy/sad every time I nurse him, loving that closeness with him and knowing its not going to last but knowing letting go of it will also feel good, too.
Nora is adorable as always, and it will be fun for so many of us to keep watching her grow!
