Norah sleeps. . . like, well. 8 hours. We keep pinching ourselves in the morning, but so far, it's all true. She doesn't take a binky, and she can't seem to figure out a bottle, but sleep is her specialty- and exercise. She loves to be walked around, and to have us move her arms and legs. She's learning to play on her mat and in her swing, and to recognize her Mama, and just recently her Daddy, when we come into the room. She keeps right on gaining weight (just shy of 13 pounds), and keeps learning the hard way that her sister and cousins love her-- love to wake her up in her swing, lay across her and crush her with hugs and kisses, but definitely, definitely love her. And all the while Liliana just keeps on growing up- she can hold a conversation now- real live conversations that are coherent and have a point. She's also started running- not her little toddler waddle that we've all giggled to watch-
I mean a run. She's knows her letters and starting to know what words begin with what. It's all amazing, and it's all happening very quickly. I guess that's what happens when 2 families live at warp speed. We had visits from Auntie Monica and Cousin Mason, Auntie Claire and Auntie Julia, and most recently Auntie Gabby, G-Mo and Pop-Pop this month. The kids just take it in stride, like everything else. We do our best to keep up ( :love.
liliana, norah, marita, and ian.
