Num-numm for Nora

First her lower front right tooth came in a little over a week ago and today it’s buddy (lower front left) joined in the chewing fun. She still is a happy cuddly nurser even with enjoying her servings from the table. Lots of funny expressions as she continues to explore taste and textures. So far not a fan of raw tomato, but we’ll see if that lasts.

Overdue Update - Baby E

I was induced by appointment once I became past due. But first there was false alarms, hours and hours of mall walking, absurd amounts of watermelon and watermelon salads, and spicy foods.
The day before was a clear sunny day in which Adelaide enjoyed a birthday treat of frozen custard with her sisters and friends, Becca and Liam. (She enjoyed an early birthday party in June. It was at a trampoline facility with friends and family. Aunt Sarah made her a jack-o-lantern shaped orange flavored cake, decorated with colorful flowers and a black cat, fulfilling her request of an 'orange tasting sugar skull pumpkin cake'.) While big sisters were visiting at Boompa's and Aunt Sarah's, Grandmama and DziaDzia joined mommy and daddy at the hospital to cheer baby on.
