My big girl...

Norah just turned 18 months! So hard to believe! She looks so big to me all of a sudden, especially in pig tails. And its a good thing she's looking and acting big... considering we have 7 weeks until baby #3! Norah went to nursery at church for the first time on Sunday and loved it. No crying... just walked right in and started playing. It was great! Some of the things she's been doing lately include drawing on anything she can (including herself), climbing on anything she can (including our play kitchen), and trying to do everything Mia does. Norah is communicating really well using baby signs and she is trying to talk quite a bit.... although for her "dee-dee" covers a whole lot... binkie, birdie, thristy, baby etc. Its been so fun to see her personality develop. Such an affectionate girl which I totally love.

Totally unrelated to my sweet Norah: I copied my awesome sisters-in-law and tried making a chocolate covered strawberry tree. It has a cabbage in the center and a limb from our pear tree as a trunk. It was auctioned off at our ward dessert auction to raise money for our scouts. Its fun to have an excuse to try something a little different every once in a while :)
