Nora: 13 Months

Thirteen months! We took these pictures almost two weeks ago and I am finally posting them. Nora does not like wearing shoes. She refused to stand with them on.


Sock feet is so much better!


At 13 months, Nora is continuing to babble and talk to us. She has a word for Jacob but I'm not sure what it is, exactly. She continues to say her favorites Mama, Dada, bye-bye, uh-oh, and dog-gie (emphasis on the "gie"). She can walk holding my hands or pushing her doll stroller. She can stand by herself for a long minute, but hasn't tried any independent steps yet. She loves to swing and giggle and read Wild Animals over and over again. Her big sisters are now including her when they play dollies. She is prone to dramatics--throwing herself on the floor whenever I set her down, sweeping the green beans off her tray with a flourish, outbursts of tears when she gets buckled into her car seat or high chair. Poor fourth baby--she gets no reaction from her parents when these things occur. :) Happy 13 months, Nora! Watching you grow is so much fun!
