Norah at 4 Months

Well Miss Norah is almost 5 months, so this post is kinda late. I still feel like I haven't found my "rhythm" being a mom of two. We're lucky to be dressed by lunch and I have had no energy to make dinner. I cannot seem to find the right time to exercise. It seems the kids know when I'm up early and decide to ruin my plans. That's right - I blame my lack of exercise on my children. ;) Computer time is a luxury.

Norah is: learning how to grab things and put them in her mouth. She loves to look at her hands and lift her legs so she can see her toes. She rolls onto her tummy but can't roll the other way. She loves patty-cake and 5 Little Monkeys.

She's still a little chub and has THE cutest rolls I've ever seen. As Benj says, her chubby calfs and skinny feet are to blame for her socks always falling off.
At her doctor's appointment, she weighed 15 lbs 2 oz (90%) and is 26.5 inches (95%)

She sure has changed a lot.
Norah is a great sleeper. She takes 2 long naps a day and is sleeping through the night. I'm a very blessed momma.
She is a little drool machine so I'm thinking some teeth may show up soon.
Several people have said when she smiles, she smiles with her whole body. She is such a happy girl. However, she lets me know when she's not happy (usually when she's hungry or frustrated on her tummy). Her hair has been falling out, as is mine, and it looks like it may be coming back in. So far it's pretty dark still.
Although a little blurry, this last picture is my favorite.
So grateful for this little babe. Happy 4 months!

Glorious Spring

This photo was taken out my window on Leap Day.

And this was us five days later, basking in the sun. Logan was just a little excited to be outdoors.

Hooray for sunshine!

Little Lady in Red

My dad took these photos while we were visiting in Idaho Falls last weekend.

I especially love this picture. Thanks Dad!

Fun Friday - Museum of Ancient Life

I've decided that I will take Logan to do something fun on Friday (hence the title of this post). We went to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. A little bit of a drive but the kids did great.


Logan was absolutely fascinated with everything. There were a few places in the musem that were a little scary for him. The whole place was pretty dark so these pictures aren't the greatest. Logan was way too busy looking at everything to pose for the camera.

This girl did great. I think she was pretty interested in this place too. I wish the museum was closer. I ended up nursing her in the car before our long drive home (35 mins each way).


Logan enjoyed the little play area.
Reading the sign - my boy is so smart. :)


Speaking of reading signs, Benj was disappointed in me for not reading many signs. He's the type to read all the facts and info. I told him to try to read signs with a toddler and 3 month old. I was proud of myself just being able to go alone!





At the end was a fun sandpit where the kids could dig/brush off dinosaur bones. Logan LOVED it, although he needs to work on his brushing technique. He was getting sand everywhere.

We'll definately be going again!
