Nora

What we call her:
Nora Jean, Nora, Nora Lynn, New Orleans (Victoria's nickname for her), Miss Eleanor, and Little Gull (Wilson's nickname for her)

What she is doing now:
Rolling over (from back to side and belly to back)
Laughing (I think she is a little more "serious" than Wilson was at this point in his life but she is still a very happy baby.)
Grabbing for toys (like her rattle and her toy that looks like a cat toy) and promptly shoving them in her mouth
Playing peek-a-boo. She has her own little version of the game. She buries her face in you and then pulls her head back with a big smile on her face.
Talking baby talk. She coos, razz-berries, and screeches when ever she can.

What she loves:
Holding your finger
Riding in the baby carrier (either the Ergo or the Baby Bjorn)
Being close to Mama
Having her face covered
Holding her Cuski
Standing and sitting on your lap
Having her face tickled with Mama's hair
Kisses on her chubby cheeks and neck
Playing paddy cake or just having you move her little hands back and forth and all around

How often she nurses:
every 2-3 hours during the day and 3-5 hours at night (sometimes 6, if Mama is lucky)

How much she sleeps:
She likes her sleep! She goes to bed between 7:30 and 9 and sleeps until 8:30 or 9, only waking to eat. (There are rare occasions when she wakes up at 5:30 or 6 but she doesn't stay awake too long.) During the day she takes about three naps a day. Sometimes more if the naps are shorter.
