Pre-Xmas

We've had a lot of excitement in our house the past few weeks as we approach Christmas. As of Tuesday evening, I am an official MBA gradutate! It has been a little crazy being a full-time working Mom and part-time student so I'm thrilled to have this accomplishment under my belt and drop the part-time student role.
Now for the picture worthy events...
Nora was a very wiggly Baby Jesus in the Christmas program at church last Sunday, which means Justin and I were Mary and Joseph. It was hard to take each other seriously in our costumes but it made for a fun memory. Baby Jesus performed pretty well, mainly because she loved being front and center stage!











We took Nora to see Santa Claus at church a few weeks ago. She wasn't so sure about him at first but liked that his outfit felt like a kitty so it ended up being okay.

Thanksgiving

Nora didn't get to feast on the wonderful food that we did, but she is thankful for her family who passed her around and played with her!

6 Months

It is hard for us to believe but Nora turned 6 months old last week. She now weighs 17 lbs 7 oz (I promised her I'll stop publishing her weight soon) and is 27 inches tall- which the Dr tells us is about the size of an 8 month old. We are so thankful for our hearty baby girl! She hasn't quite mastered sitting up on her own yet, but she rolls over all the time and then looks up at you to make sure you get really excited about it. It worked out well that her 6 month photo shoot could also double as Christmas pictures so here are some of the shots. My friend, Marji, took them for us as she does an awesome job in her "mini" studio!
