I had forgotten about all the craziness of the new toddler stage. Those times in the grocery store where we can't really carry her because she's heavy and wiggly, but as soon as you put her down she runs off. Or she insists on pushing the cart and gets upset when you stop to pick up another item.
She loves the fridge, and gladly sits on the bottom rearranging the condiments. She loves the dishwasher too, particularly pulling things out. And she makes a run for the outdoors whenever a door opens.
She is such a happy girl, as long as teething or tiredness isn't getting to her. She smiles a lot, laughs easily, and is a total ham for the camera.
Nora loves climbing into things and sitting on anything that is just her size (stools, stairs, mom & dad's laps...). She also loves pulling things out of the drawers and cupboards in the kitchen. The plastic items out of the recycle bin are some of her favorite toys, and if you need a measuring cup or stirring spoon you first have to search the house to find it, then wash it, before you can use it.
Another favorite pastime is putting things in and out. (Like the cotton balls.) She also loves carrying bags and baskets around. Totally adorable!
