We've had a busy few weeks. It's funny how in a matter of days your whole entire calendar for May can fill up. Whew. We're eagerly anticipating the arrival of Aunt Tammie, Uncle Scott and cousins in a few weeks, but until then I thought I'd share some of what Nora's up to these days. My mom sent two wedding dresses for her (she's in my brother's wedding in June) and with it, she sent these white gloves just for fun. For the first few days Nora would walk up to me, say something to the effect of "put these on" and then stare at them all afternoon, screaming if they fell off. I had to snap a pic.

Her new thing now is to stand on my stomach while I'm lying on the floor. I tried to capture it while it was happening. Usually she sits on my stomach first and starts bouncing, then when she gets tired of that she stands up. Yes, it hurts. The stomach standing game is not long for this world. She's getting way too heavy.

Finally, Nora loves to play with the basketball. She picks it up, which you can tell is not easy, then throws it down and tries to bounce it. I thought the picture of her holding the ball is hilarious. She still loves her daddy and anytime the phone rings or door opens she starts saying "dada, daddy" over and over and over. It's too cute. We've got close friends moving to Switzerland next week so we're trying to spend every minute we can with them and with the end of school, weddings, showers, etc. we are staying so busy. I'll be glad when summer comes. I only get a month off (only-ha) since I'm the counselor, but what a job, huh? I can't wait to do lots of things with Nora during my time off. One more month! !
