Ten months

I have to apologize in advance for the length of this post. I'm getting so bad at choosing favorite photos--there are too many that crack me up!

First, here's a selection of Nora's 10-month photos. Her hair is getting long enough for little clips, and there are curls behind her ears. Her face is more expressive every day.

 

Ha ha ha! We have a bunch of photos like this now--these days Nora is always trying to grab the camera. 

And here are some favorite photos from the past month.

Homecoming--note the Steamboat tattoo on her cheek

A toothy grin

Skeleton shirt for Halloween

Nora makes this face lately, with her nose wrinkled up, and she snuffles in and out. We're not sure what it means.

She also points at everything.

And is really enjoying food--anything Mom and Dad are eating is what she wants to eat, including this chili and cornbread.

Such a cheesy grin!

Pumpkin exploration on our front porch.

Ewww, stringy guts . . .

Finally, I'll probably have more Halloween photos later, but here's one picture of Nora in her Halloween costume as a lady bug and her friend Reyna as a monkey. We went to downtown Scaramie yesterday morning.

Family Photos

We had free family photos taken at Nora's childcare center on September 20. Here's a selection of my favorites.

Homecoming Activities

Nora had a homecoming parade at her school, which was adorable. The kids from the infant room all got Steamboat tattoos on their cheeks, wore brown and gold, and rode in the big stroller which was decorated to look like a covered wagon.

In Nora's opinion, the best part of the parade was the end, when we all danced to "Cotton-Eyed Joe."

On the day of the football game we went to Tailgate Park to check out the festivities and we ended up right next to the marching band, Western Thunder. I thought this might alarm the baby, but she wasn't scared.

Later that weekend, we put in storm windows and worked on cleaning up the yard before more snow hit Laramie!
