In more ways than one:
I'm getting her started young...

Playful Norah

Since we went a whole month with no pictures, here are a bunch from this past week.  See, we told you we'd do better....

Ten Months

Also known as the month we took no pictures.  In our defense, we were under construction for, like, six weeks... At ten months, Norah:

  • has taken off crawling.  Seriously, we can't get her to sit still and she is into everything.
  • has climbed the stairs leading to the front door.  It's scary to watch, but she's learning.
  • is no longer a vegetarian.  She's only had chicken so far but she likes it a lot.  She also really likes the potato and leek combination we've been giving her lately.
  • is getting her 3rd tooth, the first one on the top.
  • will give kisses when she is in the mood (which doesn't happen very often).
  • crawls after us when we leave a room.  Unfortunately for her, she always turns towards the bathroom whether we're in there or not, blabbering on about mamamama the whole way (even when she is crawling after Dad).
  • is a perfect angel when Grandma changes her diaper but never fails to roll away from Mom or Dad.
  • pulls herself to a standing position on anything chest height or lower.  The couch is still a little too high for her, but pulling up on Phoebe seems to be fair game.
  • likes to help Mommy fill her water bottle at the refrigerator then take a drink.
Here is the closest thing we have to an official ten month picture:

Climbing the stairs.

Going for Nana's cell phone.  This remains the most reliable way to get her to crawl from Point A to Point B.

Victory!

Norah's there's-a-dog-coming face.  Despite what it looks like, she's really not afraid of dogs.  Even close up giant ones.

Laughing at Mommy tickling her.  

Getting into her toy box.
We are finally getting all our furniture moved back into the living room so we promise to do better with the pictures this coming month.
