Jump N Go

Nora loves this thing. She didn't like it a couple of months ago but now she goes nuts in it! I will post a video of her in it later this week! Nora would not go to sleep on Sunday night. After about an hour of rocking her etc. I said heck with it.... we are putting her in the jump n go. Great idea, she went crazy for about 20 minutes then looked at me and yawned and went right to bed! She has rhythm in this thing--it is great!

Sick Chick(s).....

Nora and I have been sick for about the past month. We both started off with colds. On Tuesday of last week I brought Nora to the doctor as the cold had lasted too long! Well, she had an ear infection--her first one.... She was put on the tasty amoxicillian (I loved that stuff as a kid). On Thursday, I was not feeling well at all. I decided to go home around lunch time to sleep since Nora was at daycare and Pete at a project. The minute I pulled into our driveway, one of her teachers called. Of course my heart stopped as I thought something horrible happened. Thankfully, she called to say that Nora was out of sorts and was running a low fever...... I went to get her from school. My dad came to the rescue! He came over for a while so I could get some sleep. While he was there, Nora slept for 2 hours! Yes, a miracle happened, Nora Elizabeth took longer than a 30 minute nap! On Friday, Nora was a pooping machine. She has never pooped as much as she did on Friday. On Saturday, she woke up and was still a pooping machine... L-O-N-G story short, after the 2nd phone call to the doctors office, I brought her in as she had a 101.5 temp.... Wouldn't you know it, the tasty pink amoxicillian wasn't working, she now has a double ear infection. They changed her meds and by Sunday Nora was back to her usual self. I took myself to the doctor this morning and I now have meds too! Hopefully I am back to normal (well as normal as I can be) by this weekend for all of the Swartzbaugh's!

When Daddy sleeps in!

Nora and I let Pete sleep in on Sunday morning. The Cornhuskers got their butts kicked by Mizzou on Saturday night and Pete has been working hard lately so we thought we would let him sleep in like nice girls! Anyway, Nora was hyper. She wanted nothing to do with her cereal and bananas and only wanted her bottle. She put her hand in her cereal and bananas and then in her hair..... I put her in her crib after all of this so I could do something and look how wild her hair got and she got!!!!!!!!!! WOW...

I am a prisoner of my crib! Let me out!
Nice product in your hair, Nora. Is that cereal and banana by Suave?

My mommy is so funny! I cannot stop laughing at her!

Mind the Gap!

Jenny and Jeff were in London when Nora was born. They brought her home this cool onesie! We love it.

7 months on the 4th!

Nora turned 7 months on the 4th. Here are a couple of pictures. She had a costume change before she went to school....

I like to bite!

Nora loves her teeth.... She thinks it's funny to grab our fingers and put them in her mouth. Apparently our fingers are better than her teethers...

I am getting ready to bite someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Dad, your finger tastes great!
As you can see, it hurts when she bites..
Nummy!
Dad, did that really hurt or are you faking it?
One more time!

Happy Birthday Grandmammy/MOM

Happy 59th Birthday, Grandma/MOM...

Seriously, I really do not like the flash on the camera. I really like the people in the picture though!
Check out Nora' back pocket! Grandpa gave her his credit card... She gave it back and said she would like it when we go shopping next! hahaha
