Hard to believe that we are now a family of FIVE.
Our sweet lady already has all the boys wrapped around her little finger -- this is now a fairly common scene at our house. All my boys wanting to entertain Nora. Peter even has this little song he sings to Nora "hello little baby, you're so cute!" It's adorable.
At her two week appointment, Nora was already 6lbs 15oz and 19.5" long. By far our fastest growing baby yet! I mean, look at those cheeks. Don't you just want to eat them up?
We've had lots of visitors since Nora's arrival. While Grandma Deb was here the boys enjoyed roasting marshmallows one windy night.
Travis' brother Jon was even able to come down for a quick visit while Deb was still in town.
After that, my dad came out for a visit -- who saved us during Peter's spring break by taking the boys camping.
And then from my mom -- who took the boys on all sorts of adventures and enjoyed lots of baby snuggles.
After taking almost 3 weeks off to be home with us, Travis is now back at work and the real fun begins. The boys really want to help so I'm trying to get them more involved -- we even had a talk about how baby Nora belongs to all of us and that we all need to help Mommy take care of her. Apparently that translated into Peter telling his teacher today: "It might be a bit crazy at our house now because my daddy went back to work." True enough, kid. Then again, when is it not crazy at our house?
