2 Months!

Our sweet little Nora girl turned 2 months old a few weeks ago. At her check up she was 10lbs! TEN pounds! We've never had a baby grow as fast as she does. She even has little fat rolls - Benji calls them her 'stripes.' But we aren't complaining because all that chunkiness has helped her become a champion sleeper so far -- normally going to bed around 9pm and not waking up until 4 or 5am...sometimes she even sleeps until 6 or 7am! At two months! Crazy.

Nora really is such a sweet girl. Very happy all the time and content to watch the craziness. This past weekend most of my family came out for her baby blessing and we had the best time together.

We spent some time at the hotel pool with cousins while Kristi enjoyed some baby snuggles.

I love the expression on her face here with my sister Tracie 

I realized after the fact that I sadly didn't get any pictures of just Nora in her beautiful blessing dress -- but here is the nice group family shot after church.

 I found the sweetest little pearl bracelet for Nora to wear for her blessing

 We had so much fun with family -- eating good food and just generally have a grand time while the cousins went crazy playing outside. The trampoline was especially a big hit. We also had a surplus of people who wanted to hold our sweet little girl. Here she is with my brother Jono.

I sure wish my family lived closer but we had a wonderful time hanging out. I'm so grateful they all were able to come be with us for this special weekend.
