For all those other fellow mommies out there, I am sure you feel the same way as I do, but I absolutely love getting to experience the "firsts" with Nora. It so seems that this week she has had a lot of them and I would like to share...
This week has been jammed packed with activities and events, many of which my little lady is experiencing for the very first time! To begin the week, Nora got to help make her very first Gingerbread house :) Although mommy ended up doing most of the work, she did enjoy putting her fingers in the frosting and tasting several of the yummy candies, it was precious.
Speaking of tasting, Nora also tried both ranch and ketchup this week! She seemed like such a big girl, dipping her pizza and fries into a heaping pile of sauce. It was hilarious to watch her first dip her finger in it and then proceed to dip the the same piece of food in it over and over again, each time just licking off the sauce. Her face afterwards was also priceless as she grinned ear to ear with sauce covering her lips!
My little smarty pants has also learned another body part and another new baby sign this week. She is now able to show us, her head, nose, tummy and mouth by pointing to them :) She also signed thank-you to mommy for sharing her snacks. I know I am partial, but I do believe have one very intelligent little cookie on my hands..
Today was filled with firsts as well!! First off, at Gymboree today, Nora literally starting running!! She was literally running circles around her other little friends at class today. Not to mention, she was trying to be the teacher already by leading all the other kids in the activities...mama better make sure to lace up her shoes tight from now on because the race is on....
Today was also Nora's first haircut...after going back and forth on weather or not we should get it done, I decided on just a trim. She was such a big girl once again though and amazed me with how brave and unintimidated she was. She let the lady, wash her hair, cut it and style it with not hardly a screech...I was so relieved that this turned out to be a good experience because honestly I was expecting the opposite, haha. I love the final product though, her little face just looks so cute with her new little bobbed cut!
And, to finish us off, tomorrow will be a big first for our little Bean Head...she will ride an airplane with mommy for the very first time! I am not going to lie, this mommy is a wee bit nervous how I will be able to contain one very energetic and mobile 15 month old for nearly three hours...I have packed our "entertainment" bag and hoping for the best... and some very understanding passengers too, lol. I will update you soon and let you know how it all turns out.
Well as you can tell, I am once again an excited and doting mom and am darn proud of it!
