Norah turns "This many"

Friday was a day of celebration at our house! Norah has gone from this...

to this.

Some interesting things about Norah at age 3. 

She absolutely loves her blanket. It must be by her side at all times. We are getting good at giving it a hug and kiss goodbye for small periods of time, like for going to nursery at church.

Norah loves giving Zoe attention. If she was allowed I think she would sleep next to her all the time. She is constantly at Zoe's bouncer, helping her bounce or leaning over her to give her little kisses on the cheek.

She plays incredibly well alone. Often I will have to search the house to find her playing by herself in the toy room. She sings, plays with baby dolls and princesses. Eliza and Norah love to play Princesses and Dora Doll house. They are becoming great buddies... until someone gets hurt.

Norah also loves shoes, purses and makeup. Grandma Bartmess sent her a purse that seemed to overshadow all other birthday gifts. Notice that Norah is actually carrying 2 purses. The contents of which usually include "lips" meaning lips gloss or something of the sort.

Another thing about Norah is that she only likes clips, no pony tails. Which makes for some interesting photos. She likes her long curly locks enveloping her face I guess.

For her birthday cake she wanted something with Princesses. So, we got creative. She even blew out her own candles!

Never hurts to sneak a bit of cake...

Some other birthday gifts included an apron and chefs hat as well as beads from Cousin Melissa to make necklaces. Notice that Norah is wearing 3 of them.

We love you Norah! We wouldn't be US with out U!
