And the winner is . . .

And the winner is . . . drumroll please . . . the TEDDY BEAR! It was very close between the monkey and teddy bear, but the teddy bear squeaked by. (Tim is happy) I am buying the costume today. Tim and I are also joining the party. He will be Papa Bear and I will be Mama Bear. Yep, you guessed it. We are going to be the 3 bears. :) Cute!

We are spending Halloween in Colorado. We are very excited and we're looking forward to seeing our friends Valencia, Eric, Thaddeus, Trinity, and Theodore.

Season's Change & Babies Grow . . .

Monday was the first day of fall. It is the first fall for Nora. Its amazing to think how she is seeing everything for the first time. It brings me so much pleasure to watch her explore a leaf that has just fallen from a tree or even the things she finds around our house. She is learning so much every moment. I often look at her and think that is my little girl.. . my gift from God to love, hold, protect, teach, guide and so much more. Nora is my blessing.

A little mushy, I know, but fall always makes me reflect and see things in a new light. I guess that's part of the reason why this is my favorite time of the year. Look at my baby!

We Have a Tooth!

I don't know how I missed the opportunity to post this new discovery, but Nora has a tooth! The tooth broke skin on Sunday. (I think) Does anyone know a tooth fairy that pays you for getting a tooth? -I guess she would be the anti-tooth fairy. :)

The Preview

OMG! How cute can she be???? Here are the sneak-peak pictures of Nora's 6/7 month pictures. There are more poses to come. We cannot wait to see the rest! Thanks PictureLily! You ROCK!

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB Baby!

Yesterday, Nora made a new accomplishment. She is now saying the letter "B". So now she says Dada, Bubba, but still . . . no Mama.

Yesterday, Nora also took her 6/7 month pictures. We can't wait to see them. She had three wardrobe changes including her birthday suit. As soon as we took off her diaper, she peed all over the ottoman. Oh NO! Thank God for aunt Jackie. She can fix it. :) We will post the link to her pictures as soon as we get it. (2-3 long weeks)

Wet & Wild!

Nora is a natural water-baby! She cracked us up when she attempted to lie down in the pool. Who says you need lessons to learn how to swim. At this rate Michael Phelps' record may be in trouble in a few years.
