Oscar, the Cat

Nora is a big fan of all non-human living creatures including our cat, Oscar. Oscar is taking all of the attention in stride; he just moves when he's had enough attention or goes outside if he would like some time to himself. Here is a series of pictures in which Nora successfully captures Oscar for a series of tale pulls, petting that is more like hitting, and a hug.

Catching Up

We haven't updated the blog in a month because we've been busy watching Nora chase the cat, going for walks, gardening, making new friends, swinging, climbing on things, visiting the Thinkery, and just generally enjoying much of the few weeks of beautiful weather as possible. 

Nora is walking!!!!!! So far this has been my very favorite phase developmentally; its just so much fun! 

Dug and I have vowed to update more regularly so please feel free to harass us. 

Here is a video of Nora walking: http://youtu.be/zHv8-toWakA

Here are a whole bunch of pictures. 

Robot pajamas, mermaid eyepatch

She loves to play with these two suction cups

Swinging at the park

She loves to swing so we go to the local park often

Crying because Daddy won't let her play in the dishwasher

Eating with no shirt on helps to reduce the amount of stain removal work Mommy does

Drinking from Mommy's cup

Bath time is still a popular activity

She also enjoys drawing on the chalk board door. And eating chalk.

Playing in the grocery store section of the Thinkery. Taking things out of bins and then putting them back in is a favorite past time. 

Blue smile break. Isn't he handsome? 

Enjoying the spring weather

Getting so big! 

So excited about this Nora-sized chair that Mommy found
