Norah is 4 Months Old

This picture was taken with the help of my 4-year-old. Not to shabby! My hair and wordrobe isn't the best, but hey. This is where Norah usually "lives" when she's not sleeping during the day. I do put her in her bouncy seat or down on the ground for toys/tummy time when I need to do dishes, cook with hot pans/pots or just want my back to have a break. =)
Norah and I at the hospital. Seems like it was yesterday! She was one day old here. Precious times.


I can't believe my newborn baby girl is four months old today! It seems as though I just brought her home from the hospital. She's doing so many things and growing in so many ways...

She's 13 pounds now, loves tummy time and is rather good at it, likes to grab things in front of her, is trying hard to hold a bottle, smiling and laughing (oh so cute!), her hair just keeps on growing, she's on a great, consistent schedule and has been sleeping through the night for months, loves her brother and sister, loves being in the baby carrier, enjoys swinging with Mommy on the swings, enjoys the outdoors, does well in the church nursery, is in 3-6 month clothing, can roll from her tummy to back and is almost rolling from back to tummy.

It's hard with the third child to video tape and take pictures like I did with Avonlea, but I do try and being at home with my children during the day helps provide the time for me to do this more which I am so thankful for.

I don't know about other families out there, but Rob and I have been searching for Bible verses for each of our children and I have a few for Norah, but haven't 100% narrowed it down yet. Anyone ever thought about this OR finding a "life verse" for yourself. In our Bible Fellowship class at church, we were challenged to find a life verse and again, I have a few, but haven't narrowed it down to one yet. I'll let you know when I find it.

"Thank you Lord for my precious baby girl and all the joy she brings to our lives. I pray that you would help us as parents to raise her according to your Word and your perfect will. I pray for her future husband that he would be a man of God and love you with all his heart. Thank you for all of your many blessings and for who Norah is and who she will become as she grows."




*If you did view the You Tube video from yesterday (it was only up for a few hours), research was done and although much was true, I chose to take it down due to some facts not being 100% true.

She is so cute! Avonlea did a great job taking the picture. I did a life verse for Caleb but I'm still working on Jamison. I'll be interested to see what you come up with.
