Visit From Pop and Sharon

On June 26th Barnabas's dad and step-mom, Sharon flew up from Texas to meet Norah for the first time. She was pretty cautious at first. I still think she is in some sort shock after leaving day care but she warmed up after an hour or so.


Norah meets Nana Sharon and Pop.

And then settles in for some serious play time while the guys go get dinner.
The next day she started pulling up on the coffee table. She was very proud of herself, especially when she discovered all the wonderful things she can pull off of the table... yippie...
Oh yeah, and then there is the tasty table itself which is now a giant chew toy.
We went out to Thai Jasmine again (we just love that place) where Norah figured out that if she screamed at other diners she could get their attention. This was a GREAT new game for her. This is a very small restaurant, like 6 tables, and she was very very LOUD. She yelled and hollered and then gave her cheesiest grins to everyone. She also flung quite a few toys on the ground for kicks. At least she was looking adorable and was happy as a lark eating edamame.
Yelling loudly.... and daddy thinks it's cute.

Cheesy grin.
Practicing her clapping. She does it on cue now when you say "yay Norah". Much clapping ensues.
Mommy is telling her to use her inside voice. She is already testing me... a lot... and when I say "NO" and she gets mad, instead of screaming she yells a bunch of gibberish back at me. When those start to be real words we are in trouble. She has a lot of attitude! Posing with Pop and Sharon.
Getting those family pictures in for the homestudy follow-ups. ;-)Playing with mommy when we got home.
Overall it was a good visit and maybe next time we can have some nicer weather so we can hit the zoo or something!
