Norah has been great about the straw cup since around 6 months. We also continued with Baby Led Weaning and she really began eating well on her own during this time! At first she was shoveling food in to her mouth but around 8 months or so she was able to pick up smaller pieces more easily.
She also began giving kisses, one of my favorite tricks! She doesn't give kisses away very often, but when she does she is fierce about it. We also put up blackout curtains in her room which helped tremendously with her bedtime routine. The picture above was taken when I was trying to put her down- it was SO bright in there! I can't believe it took me so long to get those. Once they were up she had no problem going to bed at 7.
At 7 months she was wanting to be mobile SO bad! She would sit up and scoot in circles, but still wasn't full on crawling yet.
Riding in a cart with brother!
We enjoyed the pool this summer and Norah loved splashing around in the shallow section.
She also went to her first 4th of July parade!
Thinking about crawling, but not quite there..
Bath time got a lot more fun once she was sitting up really well and could join big brother! They both think it's so fun to take a bath together.
Around 7.5 months she figured it out and hasn't slowed down since!
On the move!
Football season was quickly approaching and thanks to Aunt Caitlin she was well dressed and ready for it.
Giving kisses to herself :)
She is a great eater and will eat nearly anything I put in front of her... except for green veggies. She'll eat a bite or two of those and then be done.
Her favorites: spaghetti, string cheese, waffles, oranges, peaches, bananas, yogurt- very similar to her brother!
She is also sleeping so well! She goes to bed between 7 and 7:30 and would wake up once around 4 and then goes back to sleep until around 7:30. At ten months I was so happy when she gradually began to drop the 4 am feeding.
It is so fun watching her try to keep up with her brother and Weston loves that she can move around and play with him. She is a little bit feisty, which we adore about her, and it cracks us up when we see a glance of her little attitude come out. She is such a little character and we just love her to pieces!
