Nora Bora

While baby girl naps, I thought I'd finally get around to documenting how awesome she is.

They say the second one grows up quicker. She is literally doing that. Girl is 21 pounds. 99th percentile for head and 97th percentile for height. I don't remember the actual measurements, but like I said, I'm sneaking this post in while she naps.

That's when she woke up. Now she's sleeping next to me after a long day of motherdaying. A moment ago she was screaming at the door to Kenny's bathroom because she could hear him in there taking a bath and she loves baths.

We started putting Eli to bed at 7:30 so he now actually wakes up on his own. When he does he comes into our room. Nora sits up and squeals. Then the two of them climb on me and poke me. This morning Eli invented a new game where he screams, "Sound the alaaaaarm!" Nora responds with an "Aaaaaaahhhh." Eventually Kenny emerges from getting ready and they follow him into the kitchen for smoothies.
