Nora

Our poor little peanut is trying to finally get rid of the little cold that's been nagging her for the past week. Just some congestion and a bit of coughing, but we took her to the doctor yesterday since the weekend was approaching and we didn't want any visits to the ER if it looked like something more serious was developing. We were reassured that she was doing fine and would likely kick it soon. We also got her most recent stats- she now weighs 11 pounds, 12 ounces and is 23 1/2 inches long.


Nora seems to like her cute little flip-flops!

This is how she sleeps. We have to swaddle her in these blankets at night so that she sleeps for more than a couple hours at a time. Any time that I have tried to go without the swaddling, the nights get a bit rough. So we'll keep swaddling for now and appreciate the 7-8 hours of sleep that it buys us! She always winds up sneaking a hand or two out by morning.
Such a little sweetie. This picture of Nora reminds me of this picture of Dane when he was just a couple weeks older than Nora is now. He was already quite a bit heavier than she is, but they are definitely related!

Oh, yes! You can definitely tell they are brother and sister. They both look like they are such sweeties! And, I'll have to see if Nora's shoes come in my size. :)
