Petting zoo

One of Nora's friends from preschool had a birthday party that included a petting zoo. It was awesome! Seeing these animals up close was a pretty big thrill for our little girl.

Easter 2014

First, a little throw-back to Easter last year:

Check out the cheeks on that little baby! We lived in Laramie and visited Idaho, so she wore a sweater dress for Easter.

This year, we had lots of Easter fun in Las Vegas.

Yes, you can see a jelly bean in her mouth.

We had a wonderful Easter brunch with friends from the library:

And we had a very fun Easter egg hunt with my cousin and her family:

Nora was absolutely thrilled with her Easter basket.

She stopped and clapped for herself every time she found an egg and put it in the basket.

We also colored some eggs.

And feasted on a Honey Bunny from Great Harvest Bread.

Swimming, partying

We went to a fun baby shower yesterday for one of Michael's co-workers. It was a pool party! Nora loved splashing in the little pool and eating fruit. (Later she got some meat from the grill -- yummy!)

Discovery Children's Museum

Last weekend we made our first visit to Discovery Children's Museum. Nora's favorite part by far was Water World, which features all kinds of neat water works and a mini replica of the Hoover Dam.

Nora got to wear an awesome rain coat

She got to experiment with floating balls in the water

Do some splashing

And it was great fun!

Later we went to the park:
