Happy 11 Months Norah!

I cannot believe we are only one month away from Norah's birthday.Wasn't I just praying that I would go into labor like 5 minutes ago?

As we suspected, Norah is starting to walk now and venture out on her feet. She's really been gaining confidence in the past few days and is just as pleased as punch with herself when she manages to maneuver a short distance. She spends her days cruising around the walls of the house saying "mama mama mama" and cracks herself up with every new noise she figures out how to make. She is a great sleeper, a fantastic eater, and is looking more like John every day. She cries every time I run upstairs to get something, so even though she may look nothing like me, I certainly know she loves her mama. What a joyful baby girl, we are so blessed!

A few walking tidbits...

Somebody hasn't had his coffee yet

Ok, so this post is a few weeks late and definitely overdue. But for the sake of my out-of-state sisters and friends it's better late than never right?? The little man is officially a walking machine. We even had to switch him from the "crawlers room" to the "toddler walkers" (tears and sighs) at church. He started taking steps while we were vacationing in N.C. and has been perfecting his waddle ever since. Capturing this speed demon on video has been no easy task. As you can see below, I might have caught him on a bad day. And yes, I realize he isn't wearing any pants. He prefers life that way.
