She landed on her arm awkwardly and her little wrist was swollen and she was in a lot of pain. They took x-rays and ended up putting her arm in a splint. Nora loved it. She raked in stickers from every attendant at the er and afterwards we went to get a birdhouse (her idea) to paint and some ice cream. We have since found out she had a dislocated elbow and has had her cast removed. Now she puts a sock over her hand - her new cast.<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Sharpshooterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05480239772274679044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247664028307982459.post-80818570138595456352009-02-13T18:56:00.000-08:002009-02-13T19:11:07.530-08:00xoxo<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBIg-HSO-_LTU7omxnbGPkcrMnmKJnwdx3f0f9sD34ReR2waKUHTYsMwALoqEY9N-ddS_O_dKwKECjvbw0jw5cHDbHFWC5kh909eKgmRotob1IEIxXsnKy2VqObwgtxtwAwmrmB7C2zo/s1600-h/IMG_4067.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBIg-HSO-_LTU7omxnbGPkcrMnmKJnwdx3f0f9sD34ReR2waKUHTYsMwALoqEY9N-ddS_O_dKwKECjvbw0jw5cHDbHFWC5kh909eKgmRotob1IEIxXsnKy2VqObwgtxtwAwmrmB7C2zo/s320/IMG_4067.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is love.

We took our first trip to the lake for some swimming on Sunday. It was so much fun! The water was pretty shallow at the beach we went to so the water was warm enough to take a dip in. Nora seemed to enjoy herself with two rocks she found on the beach. Afterwards we went to our friends Bryan and Julie's for a little cookout.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzZmCiBquT2Id_Jx2cdOSSTFdqojJIRHg3awWYvmWsm9f8y9I0ac4-CzRfXuJziY7XExcl2sPV1a5gLoEkBCT4Dv769fS3a9OEfpDKL7h5STtVkNcSjVTXKRiskJ6CgiE9iNaV9VKIjT0/s1600-h/IMG_2406.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzZmCiBquT2Id_Jx2cdOSSTFdqojJIRHg3awWYvmWsm9f8y9I0ac4-CzRfXuJziY7XExcl2sPV1a5gLoEkBCT4Dv769fS3a9OEfpDKL7h5STtVkNcSjVTXKRiskJ6CgiE9iNaV9VKIjT0/s320/IMG_2406.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210059353438832130" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Sharpshooterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05480239772274679044noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247664028307982459.post-46287853263592715082008-05-25T16:02:00.000-07:002008-12-10T03:53:19.708-08:00She Must Have Been a Farmer in a Past Life<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTMH-Ud2AcDFOs2znWl_vhW9fKEXBD_v-xBoWRvjY3CBgnu5hyphenhyphen-5Nqwj8NgUbMNaJawxkdPAOZwWEK6YvMLVn9RtmbYW66X16unxTjxPQnLImbRI3g3CWtdoDj_UCHyFlBy_ggmKGHMhA/s1600-h/IMG00024.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTMH-Ud2AcDFOs2znWl_vhW9fKEXBD_v-xBoWRvjY3CBgnu5hyphenhyphen-5Nqwj8NgUbMNaJawxkdPAOZwWEK6YvMLVn9RtmbYW66X16unxTjxPQnLImbRI3g3CWtdoDj_UCHyFlBy_ggmKGHMhA/s320/IMG00024.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204455861995266978" border="0" /></a>We visited the Children's Farmyard at Shelburne Farms on Saturday.

As uninspired as it sounds it is very coincidental as everyone who meets the little noodle remarks on what a "happy girl" she is. Maybe it's a standard comment for any baby who isn't in tears but I am positive that Nora truly is one very happy girl. <br />Here's a picture of her in her "Easter bonnet" (it's really just a taggies toy but we like to play pretend).<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Sharpshooterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05480239772274679044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247664028307982459.post-49493126926815963562008-03-13T09:43:00.000-07:002008-12-10T03:53:21.967-08:00Ava Grace has arrived!<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx60xM8xEO7F2fIz0dc0Ixr5B3_UHhHOIJv2Xd2_JI1K90VQNHsEmiENnSGffFEK8XoTAYagaSEU8-45dCylC1zeNa14o1j23ECOSXrriQ32r41DZY0s_5kub1tU4efDQhYAOpCdc8OuA/s1600-h/IMG_1785.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx60xM8xEO7F2fIz0dc0Ixr5B3_UHhHOIJv2Xd2_JI1K90VQNHsEmiENnSGffFEK8XoTAYagaSEU8-45dCylC1zeNa14o1j23ECOSXrriQ32r41DZY0s_5kub1tU4efDQhYAOpCdc8OuA/s320/IMG_1785.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br />Nora and I took a little trip to her Mimi and Grandpa John's house to meet her cousin, Ava Grace, who was born on March 5th.

It's heartbreaking for me to see her get the shots (immunizations) and difficult to reassure myself that I'm doing what's best for her. So much of parenting is based on intuition, yet some advice feels counterintuitive. I guess what's important is Nora is a <span style="font-weight: bold;">healthy</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">happy</span> 20lb 14oz and 271/2" baby!<br />Speaking of Happy...<br /><br />We (Kris, Nora, and I) LOVE this mobile! It's called "Happy Whales" and it's made by the mobile experts at <a style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);" href="http://www.flensted-mobiles.com/">Flensted Mobiles</a> in Denmark. The whales hang above our dining table so while we eat our meals the whales silently move their bodies around casting a variety of shadows on our walls and ceilings. While the abstract mobiles are pretty cool, I still like the ones of the animals and birds especially the "Wise Owls".<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi70olT8r8HzElMQqJHkmJUXNaI7Kf-w93VbPCaH6UzyPSDLCaFRNW7YYqBMWHEjyBLM9IbUWRYPRM3LtSlO6iSNpTdmMthsEFEEENCmIPPIYr8xZIranGc5hagaZ3hl2z5F4dqSQvIKT8/s1600-h/IMG_1531.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi70olT8r8HzElMQqJHkmJUXNaI7Kf-w93VbPCaH6UzyPSDLCaFRNW7YYqBMWHEjyBLM9IbUWRYPRM3LtSlO6iSNpTdmMthsEFEEENCmIPPIYr8xZIranGc5hagaZ3hl2z5F4dqSQvIKT8/s200/IMG_1531.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164311709772563458" border="0" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span>Sharpshooterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05480239772274679044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247664028307982459.post-39627134004871687102008-02-03T17:34:00.000-08:002008-12-10T03:53:25.373-08:00Baby Shower<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzsDW3KaWByRBiBn_HQ9kVvIG9DXxwqhGttNo8Y6ezb42OWhesBINxpYGrAQ8oWjzP3u_uU2nmDZNY73vyROlbF0ejlKtaODQnswin-SakMC3s0xWSCTD4GC4fXQ6-S10G5wzdPurcA1A/s1600-h/IMG_1511.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzsDW3KaWByRBiBn_HQ9kVvIG9DXxwqhGttNo8Y6ezb42OWhesBINxpYGrAQ8oWjzP3u_uU2nmDZNY73vyROlbF0ejlKtaODQnswin-SakMC3s0xWSCTD4GC4fXQ6-S10G5wzdPurcA1A/s200/IMG_1511.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162933596501197698" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />At the baby shower for Ben, Jen and, of course, Nora's cousin, there were lots of relatives to spend time with.<br />PS Nora turned 6 months old today!
