Introducing Baby Norah!

Once again, don't really have much time to post (we're about to go upstairs for the legendary breakfast buffet and then go pick up our baby!), but we wanted to put up a few pictures from our visit yesterday.

It was so unreal when they brought her down the stairs to see us.

033

She was pretty much interested in everything except us, but she didn't freak out or cry when either of us held her.  (She saved the crying for when we had to leave.)

038

Mother and daughter.

043

A rare moment of being interested in me (or the camera at least).

046

This one was so cute we thought we'd take her home too!  (Just kidding Katy.)

052

I'll talk more about how one of the caretakers got her to giggle like mad.  Very interesting....

 

More later.
