Nora is 4 months old!!!

So Nora went to visit the doctor yesterday! She officially weighs 15.4 pounds and is 25 inches long! She is just our growing girl! The doctor said she is healthy and looks good. She also got 4 shots, poor baby. For those of you who aren't around, our baby does not cry, and she wailed yesterday during her shots. She even had real tears, it made me want to cry! She did not cry after the first one, but as soon as she got the second one I think she realized that it didn't feel very good.

We had some fun this weekend and Nora was a very happy girl. She is very close to rolling over both ways. She rolled from her belly to back at the doctor's office! I think she wanted to show off! It has cooled off a lot here and so she was able to wear the shirt that dad picked out so long ago. I don't think it is going to fit her much longer though. I am not sure what we were thinking when we picked out a long sleeve 3 month onsie, but oh well. As you notice I had to put a headband on her so she didn't look like a little boy. Doesn't she look so cute with it on?!

I absolutely love this picture of her in the bumbo! She is just a happy, happy girl. This picture totally grabs our little girls wonderful personality. She was watching the Bears game with daddy. It was still a little too warm to wear her Bears cheerleading outfit from Uncle Tim and Aunt Candace, but don't worry it will happen! All you have to do these days to make her smile is make a funny face at her or say ma, ma, ma, ma! She just smiles away. Nora has also started giggling. It is sooo funny to hear her giggle because sometimes it sounds like a little growl. She really giggles when daddy rubs her belly on his big head! She grabs onto what little hair he has and giggles away!

Needless to say we are a very happy family right now and enjoying everything that Nora is doing. She has also found out or recognized Staley. When she finds him she follows his every move. She doesn't mind getting licked in the face too! I know, gross! But she gets bathed almost everyday, so it doesn't matter too much. Nala is getting a little more brave around her and has gone up and sniffed Nora's foot, but that is the extent of that.

All is well in the Reid household! Take care everyone and hopefully we will talk or see you soon!

She finally did it!!!

My baby finally did it! She finally lifted her head. After about a month of worrying and thinking that my child would never lift her head she did. It is amazing as a mom how much you worry about milestones and such. I wanted her to do this so bad and now she is doing it and I am so proud of her. The first picture is from last week, when she first held her head up. I went running for the camera to show proof that she actually did this. I actually got a picture of her smiling while holding her head up today, now that is an accomplishment! Now the new worry is she will never roll over, will she ever have that deep belly giggle? Of course she will, but it is my job to worry.

We just experienced our first cold this past weekend too. Do you know how gross and hard it is to use the booger sucker?! Especially when your child does not want you to! Thank goodness for multiple sets of hands being around to help. This task just cannot be done on your own. I don't know who was worse for the wear, Nora or me. After Jalen was born I always told myself I would never pick my childs nose. Until you are a mom youwill never understand. Peter looked at me today and said "Look, you are picking her nose!". Sometimes that sucker just doesn't get out what you want! We are all finally feeling much better today and had a good play session. Back to work tomorrow.
