Lisa: Dancing Bean

Nora and Sarah were just dancing along with a music video until Blake came in and provided an audience.

(Don't make fun of me because I took this video in portrait mode--that's why it's all wonky.)

Lisa: You take the lime and the cucumber, and eat them both together.

As I inadvertently discovered when I was trying to distract Nora from grabbing my salad at the Crown, she loves chewing on slices of cucumber. I was about to cut a piece for her, when I noticed the lime sitting right next to the cucumber on the shelf of the fridge. I got thinking about how similar a slice of lime would look to a cucumber slice, and about how awesome Nora's sour face would be, and I just couldn't help myself.

It might be sour, but she doesn't stop trying it! OK, I know, it was mean. Anyway, it looks like there were no hard feelings.

She does seem a little hesitant to tear into the cucumber now, though...

Lisa: mama

Nora said mama for the first time about a week ago, and now she's getting pretty good at saying it on demand. She was starting to get mad by the time I finally pulled the camera out, but what a smarty, right?

Lisa: proof

Just in case you were worried that Nora saying 'mama' the first time was a fluke.

Lisa: self portrait

Nora took this one of herself while she was playing with (read: eating) my phone.

Lisa: and then it snowed

The weather was gorgeous on Saturday, and we had an ambitious day planned. First, Sarah made Nora what she dubbed a "rally hat." Unfortunately, when our neighbor asked what cause Nora was rallying for, I didn't have an answer.

In the afternoon, when it was too hot for padded polyester hats and long sleeves, Sarah and I took Nora with us out to the Turnbulls' to pick up some strawberry plants. Obviously, it was very tiring.

After a nap (in her bed--we didn't just leave her in her seat!), Nora and Sarah camped out on the lawn, while Blake and I worked on the herb garden project that drank the Great Salt Lake. Because...it was so big. Anyway, Nora was cute.

Lisa: two-foot-two, eyes of blue

Lisa: the crown

I was trying to get a picture of the back of Nora's Crown Burger onesie to give to the people at Crown Burger. Because I have a sickness.

The front says "small fry."

Lisa: teeth and hair (It's cuter than it sounds.)

I finally got Nora to show off her two bottom teeth for you:

Sarah distracted her with Lulu so I could get a picture of Nora's crazy swoopy hair--just like Uncle Dave's!

Lisa: toothbrush
