This past week has been quite an experience, let me tell you. Poor little Norah has been really fussy most of this past week (also known as gassy in the baby world), and Lauri and I couldn't figure it out. For the most part she'd been a picture perfect baby up until then. Then Lauri decided to try a different type of bottle to feed her with, and VOILA! We have our perfect little angel back!
If Lauri and I had to pick one word to describe parenting for this past week, I think it would have to be "humbling", hands down...
I got home a little earlier today so, with the weather being as nice as it was, we headed to the new local outdoor mall and went for a family walk. Well Lauri and I walked, Norah slept. We even managed to go out for our first family dinner at a restaurant!!! Lauri and I have never been that excited to go to Max and Erma's! And wouldn't you know it, Norah slept through that too, even with a screaming toddler right next to us for half our meal.
And how fitting, this transformation came just in time for her to model a recent gift she received from one of my former college roomates. Norah would like to thank you for the personalized onesie Aunt Kacy! In fact it's so pretty she couldn't wait to try it on, even if it is a size or two too big for now. We're very thankful for all of the clothes that Norah has gotten, but I wanted to post a picture of what Kacy made for Norah.

I have been waiting for more pictures. Maybe next time we will get some pretty girly pictures instead of showing everybody how you and I sleep.
There's my little angel! I've been waiting for new pictures. Now we just have to get Papa Shields to post some of his shots, too. Then I'll be able to show all of them around in the office when I get inquiries. And yes... that open mouthed, heavy breathing style of sleeping is very familiar to me. Ha-ha. Love, Mom
Ah! So exciting! I'm glad you like your new onsie Norah, even if you're more beautiful than the angel on it :)
I'm sure you'll grow into it before you know it- just in time for your new friend to arrive in September!
YAY! New pics of Norah-I check your blog all the time. She looks so peaceful-glad you had your first dinner out and were actually able to eat.
What a great onesie too.
Miss you Norah! Can't wait until your Christening!
Love,
Aunt Lindsey
