the many smiles of norrah korryn

catching up...

Ok, so I've gotten really behind at this ~ I'm sure you're all shocked (ha ha). Here's what Norrah's been up to the past few weeks...

raod trip: A couple weeks ago Norrah had her 1st road trip ~ we went home to Louisville for Granny's birthday. First we stopped in Santa Claus to see Grandma and Poppa...

then we were on our way to see Granny, her Aunties, Uncle Kris and Kapri. Norrah even got to go to church with her Granny! She was extra spoiled by the time we got home to say the least!

father's day: Norrah is so lucky to have amazing Grandpas and a Great Grandpa but most of all the best Daddy in the world! We hope all fathers had a Happy Father's Day. We love you! The picture below is my favorite of Norrah and her Daddy...

8oz bottle: We recently broke out the 8oz bottles since Norrah has been killing the 4oz ones. We tried 6ozs the 1st night and she took it with no problem. The next day Bill gave her 8ozs, and not that she does this every time, but you can see what happened...

bumbo: I tried Norrah in the Bumbo on Sunday. I think she thought she was all grown sitting in there...

and then she discovered her toes... she seemed to be extremely interested in them...

daycare: Monday was Norrah's 1st day at daycare. Whew... that was so much rougher than I ever expected! When I dropped her off she looked at Mama Jane's (babysitter) she smiled while I cried. Who's the big girl and who's the baby :)

on my way to Mama Jane's
Ok, that should bring everyone up to speed. I'll try to do better at keeping it up.... can't make any promises though :)

2 months old

Well, actaully 2 1/2 because I haven't been doing so well at keeping up with our blog. I took Norrah's pictures at 2 months and never got them posted so here they are. At her 2month check up she weighed 12lbs and was 22 3/4 in long and the doctor said we have a healthy baby! I can't believe she's getting so big so fast!

norrah's 1st walk

It was such a beautiful day that I took Norrah for a walk. This was her 1st walk. I used to be able to walk through the hills in our complex with no trouble... it's a lot different after you have a baby and you're pushing a stroller up the hills! Guess that will be my summer workout. Norrah seemed to enjoy it. I would stop throughout and come around to the front of the stroller thinking that she was so quiet and must be asleep, but she was bright eyed and just looking around absorbing all the new scenery. She made it to the very end then fell asleep.

norrah's 1st bottle

We have decided to go ahead and ease Norrah into formula since I will be going back to work in 2 weeks. At 1st I don't think she was too impressed but she is doing better with it. Daddy got to give her the 1st bottle!

norrah's new toy

Auntie Teeva gave Norrah a play mat when we were in California. The first time we put it on the floor with her she looked around for about 2 minutes then put her head down and went to sleep! We put the toy Uncle Evan and Aunt Leslie got for her on the mat too. It's supposed to go on the car seat but we put it everywhere - she loves it! Especially since it lights up and plays music.

trip to california

We went to California to see Bill's dad and introduce Norrah to her Grandpa and the rest of her Cali family. I was 30 before I made it to CA and this girl was 5 weeks! I was really worried about flying with a baby, but she did amazing. I was worried her ears would pop and it would hurt her, she'd start screaming and I wouldn't be able to stop her, etc... intead she slept almost the entire time! We were able to spend almost a week there and it was great to see everyone. It was so good to see Bill's dad and happy to introduce him to his new grandchild... "lucky number 7" as he calls her (his 7th grandchild). Norrah has come home a bit rotten (understatement!!!) considering she was held the entire time. Needless to say... she loved it! We were in both SuiSun and "the City". Patrick was a great tourguide and took us on a tour of the city 1 day. Another highlight was the InNOut burger we out before we left. Best part though was getting to spend time with everyone (and Ms Elizabeth's cake). We were sad to leave and miss everyone already!!!
