When I watch that video below, I realize how many things have changed since November! Norah’s development is so incredible to watch. She went from scooting in November, crawling/pulling up at Christmas time, cruising on furniture/using a walker toy in January, and so far in February she is working on her walking skills. We have always known that she would be a fast learner when it comes to walking and I’m sure she will be taking her first steps well before her 1st birthday. When I watch Norah playing with toys and book, I notice that she is transitioning from a baby to a toddler. The way she uses her pointer finger for everything (she loves to point at dad), figuring out how to actually push a ball through a toy to make noise, or tossing a toy around the slippery wood floors in our kitchen and “fetching” it. Sometimes the dog gets it before she does! Her vocab is expanding and is filled with long sentences of baby talk. Sadly, we stopped breastfeeding in January. It was a sad day for me, but Norah didn’t seem to mind and that’s what matters most. It’s extremely hard to be a full-time working mom and breastfeeding, so I’m proud that I was able to make it last as long as I did. One more month of formula, then we can start introducing whole milk! My baby is definitely becoming a little girl.
Brian and I have been busy balancing our time between work and home life. The winter is technically our “off season” at both our jobs and that has given us more time to find our hobbies again. Brian has resumed brewing beer…yum! His first batch - an American Pale Ale, should be ready by St. Patty’s Day. I have been reading more and training for a few 5k run races in the summer.
