Working For the Weekend

Colds all around means we couldn't wait for the weekend. Dug had to work but Nora and I spent the weekend at home doing housework and playing with Blue.

Eyes and Ears and Toes

All of the humans at Dugglesworth Manor have been sick for the last week so here are pictures. Nora has now had her first ear infection, first case of pink eye, and now weighs 14 lbs. Oh! An she discovered her toes and has decided that she loves them.

Toes! 

Passed out in a pile of toys on Mommy and Daddy's bed.  Note the Saints themed shirt.

Bonus Blue picture.  Isn't it nice how we matched the sheets to him?

Texas Hold 'Em

Nora's new trick is holding her own bottle. She isn't ready to go totally solo yet but she manages to hold in to it quite a bit when she's awake an engaged. At 4 am Mommy and Daddy are still doing all the work. Pictures!

She was crying and Blue wanted to help.  She seems unimpressed.

Daddy's keeping his hand close by in case she decides to let go and/or launch her bottle across the room.  

Happy Half-Birthday to you!

Last Friday was Nora's 6 month birthday!

We celebrated the only way we seem to know how: going to the doctor!

Nora went for her 6 month check up. She got some shots (which she didn't like), but tried showing off her turning on her side skills to Dr P.

So her official weight is 13 lbs 5 oz! She is also over two feet tall!

I don't always eat bibs, but when I do it's right after I've spilled milk all over them.

Pretty soon Nora won't be able to lay in my lap like this.

Woah! Dad, you left the flash on! (PS: look at the big flower Grammie got me)

I'm trying to help Grammie hold my bottle

BFFFNT! (best friends forever floor nap time)

Friends as family

One if the hardest things about having a new baby has been how far away my family is. Luckily, Dug and I have an excellent network of friends (or framily if you will). This weekend Nora and I hung out with several of our friends and went to her first birthday party.
